The Works oil change, tire rotation. Had some Ford Points so it only cost 40 bucks.

First time wrenching on a vehicle in almost 8 years. Starting slow...

How'd you do that?

I used Forscan to turn it off. a laptop, a OBDlink Ex cable, and the Forscan program with some internet instruction and you can turn that off and other stuff too. like the annoying auto start stop, you can enable bambi mode to keep your fogs on with your high beams and more.

I need to do that mode to mine but I have to order 2 bolts as I have the 2 bolt rear diff.

That looks like a good place to start.

OK, second foray under the car.

This wasn't hard but I don't have an impact wrench and I did it with the car on the ground. Doable but you have to contort yourself a bit to get leverage on those big bolts. An impact wrench would make this infinitely easier.

Didn't get to drive it yet because of reasons but this is the first performance mod I've done to the vehicle and I'm excited to see how it changes.

JXB, bolt upgrade, and Steeda diff brace.

Also after having the pinch welds repaired from damage done by the service dept. I had these installed and they work and look the part.

Do you still have these and like them ? Any issues since you've installed them ?

Grabbed this console tray from amazon since it didn't come with one.

Installed Eibach lowering springs today. Measuring from wheel center to fender, the front dropped 1 3/4" and the rear dropped 2 1/4". Measurements and after pic was after driving around over a half dozen speed bumps, a couple of launches and general driving for about 30 minutes. It no longer does the floaty bounce over the neighborhood speed bumps, slightly stiffer ride as expected, feels much better. I will be doing a rear sway bar to go along with it.

I have done a bunch of other things over the past two weeks since buying it: Husky floor mats and cargo liner, hitch cover and locking pin, mud guards, anti glare screen protector on head unit, silicone license plate frame, black Ford emblems, Gorilla black lug nuts, Radar Mount and wiring, front windows and top of windshield tinted, Covercraft windshield sunscreen, ST pedal covers, Mishimoto catch can, removed hood lettering.
And more parts are on the way or to be ordered still.
