A few weeks ago I picked up a set of 22x10.5 Niche Prodigy 5 Wheels. I haven’t had time to get good pictures, but here a few pics from the cell. 577F2AF2-5124-429D-BF43-552D1CA0FA8F.jpeg IMG_4195.jpeg

These look nice. Are these 22x9 with a +38mm offset? What size tire did you end up putting on?

Got the Explorer mats used, got them home and scrubbed them down and cleaned them and installed. Nothing crazy, but it's the first thing Ive done to mine since buying it a couple weeks ago. Just wana track down the 3rd row mat and rear now.

If you bought it new, you should have Ford Pass points coming soon that can be used to buy the 3rd row mats from Ford.

Added some lens tint. Not sure if I will keep the rear though, in certain light it looks too dark and will probably attract unwanted attention.

Installed Steeda Rear Sway bar. Amazing difference. Also discovered these handy slots to hold the bar brackets to make starting the bolts much easier.

Swapped out a bad purge valve at 55k on a 2020. This thing is a PITA to swap. Little to no room but with a small 90* pick it can be done in about 30ish IMG_5209.jpeg mins.

Where did you get the lens tint, if I may ask?

I did the same and noticed a difference right away. While it took me an embarrassingly long time to install, I was pleased with the result. I did sand, primer, and paint the bar grey -- I did not want the blue peeking out of the fender well.

What exactly is the common issue with the purge valve on these?

On the Focus ST, they're known to go bad, and will cause a few CELs and worst case, the fuel tank can deform. There was a recall on it. Most people just replace them periodically as preventative maintenance. Some people have even gone so far as to DIY their own replacement that can correct the issue, and make future replacements easier.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a substantially similar part. I wonder if a similar approach could be taken on the Explorer.
