What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[Chamorro85]

As someone who owns a 2020, and has seen the ExST scene evolve from scratch, I remember when the man, the myth, the legend, Brett from FenFab was the only one making parts for this truck. So, it felt a little wrong that I didn't have any FenFab parts. Well that changed today! I threw on his ECU Cover in an attempt to further de-ugly this spaghetti-monster of an engine bay. And in an effort to dress-up my dress-up parts, I used titanium bolts and washers (same style as used on my strut tower brace) and added a badge from one of my dream cars. Added a little spice to the black cover and ties in with the red AFE badge on the CAI. Points if you know where this badge is from! Next is re-wrapping that wire loom next to the cover.

I was back and forth on the eco cover. Lately i've been thinking its a nice little touch when I occasionally open the hood lol.

Thats ford shocks for ya. Had to replace my7 2015 F150 shocks at 25k because of leaks. Just like you not bad but still. Luckily Bilstein had replacements. Much better ride IMHO.

What is the Bilstein number?

Those were for his F150. I don't think they have any for the Explorer so far.

Finally blacked the emblems today too!

Sync upgrade to 3.4 (I think). Supposedly just maps. From the time it took (1:40), that sounds 'bout right. Took our 90# Mastiff on the ride for the upgrade. He did well on his first real car ride.

Yesterday, I took one of the pups (Sadie, the pit-mix) on errands and we went to a local car show. My little girl did great - no drama with the other dogs and was OK with little kids. She was worn out when we finally go home.

Yeah there is the Sync update and the Maps update. Maps took forever!

This past weekend I spent about 3 hours updating all of the modules in my ST, 13 modules total.

Minus the cup holder trim and storage pocket/lid I got the Aviator console installed.

Damn, thats fancy! Whats the wire in the center of the console? Care to share what the inspiration was for going this route? You've peaked my interest!

 

[UNBROKEN]

No inspiration…I just hate the floor tray. I still need to pull the front console open and check the types of plugs so Lawrence at BoostedGreyGoose Designs can make me a plug and play harness for the ambient lighting. I’ll wire in the 12V and USB’s myself.

That aviator console looks good

 

[Chamorro85]

It looks super sharp!

I completely agree- but did you seriously pay $2k for that setup? I think it's great, but that's outside my pocket money!

It costs what it costs. lol
If you haven’t noticed I make plenty of poor financial decisions when it comes to cars. lol

It's your money- use it when you need it. JG Wentworth.
I was just curious if you were joking about that price, not questioning your financial decisions!

Unfortunately not…right at $2200 with my 25% discount through another site I’m on.
