What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[Cruising68]

Forgot, also got the rear seat covers in. I'll snug them up after they wear in a bit and I get a hot day.

AWR fix for us 1 bolt’ers.

Checked the ground clearance when it's on the ramps for an oil change. It just short of 15in at the cross member, plenty of room for me to get under there.

Ya need a step ladder when doing the oil & filter change on an ST

ST is off to Tucson again on Thursday. It got a "pre-wash" today ahead of tomorrows full detail.

Thanks

There's plenty of room ahead of the rear wheels, so if you get ambitious you can get the entire vehicle up on four of the ramps. I haven't tried it as I only have two right now. I'll probably buy another pair.
Not sure about using a single pair to get one side of the ST elevated, would most likely be fine.
If you need a bit more lift you could put the ramps on a length of 2x12 that is a bit longer than the ramp & bevel the end. 2x4 screwed across the other end of the 2x12 to prevent the ramp sliding along it.

Yeah, I’m using 2x8/2x10’s stacked up right now. I was just curious about them. Still kinda hesitant when compared to my planks, but would seem more space savings wise.

I'm going to hang them on the garage wall, they have holes in just the right place to hang on hooks. Pointy end up.

I had Steeda Springs w/ an alignment and a Whipple Intercooler installed today at a local dealership. Total cost $580! No doubt I am very happy with the labor cost. $200 for the Intercooler, $300 for the springs, and $80 for the alignment.

I think that's great pricing.

Sounds like a bargain.

That seems really good. I was turned off when I heard higher spring install costs up in the $700 range. I think I might try and tackle the intercooler myself. Planning to replace exhaust system. Have you done that yet?

$200 for the Whipple is insanely cheap! $300 for the springs is just cheap and $80 for the alignment is reasonably cheap. Nice dealer for sure! If I had a dealer like that nearby I would pay them instead of doing all the work myself. My dealer said i would void the warranty if i put springs on it After the price he gave me I said no thanks and BTW I wasn't looking for warranty on the springs

Holy crap that is great pricing…!

Goddamn it, looks like the pool guy hit the left fender & wheel arch trim with something.



Tried to get a pic of the fender damage, but camera isn't cooperating. Looks like it was hit with the end of a tube...

I have the Gibson Axle-back but that’s it as far as exhaust. I’m going to order the SPD Downpipes very soon.

Are you going to change midpipes? That and the tips are the things I want to change the most.

I want to change the midpipes but haven’t figured out which ones to go with for the stock exhaust

Thinking of ordering the following intake parts in red.

Anyone installed both? If so, does it require a tuner after installed?
