Who's GTI? When the MK7 came out I bought one to play with. Made 504whp.

That’s the wife’s. We’re on our 3rd GTI and I’m low key shopping for a 7.5R

Solid choice! A friend of mine owns Equilibrium Tuning, he is a tuning wizard and offers excellent hybrid turbo options. Ever since I got rid of my GTI I missed it. With big power, the FWD was a liability, could do rolling burnouts shifting through gears which was fun though.

The GTI was one of the few vehicles that was fastened together properly without silly production line oversights. The Explorer seems to be missing 10% of the fasteners every time I take something apart.

Yea we joined the cult of GTI with a Mk7 a few years ago. Instantly fell in love and understood the appeal. That got hit and totaled so I bought a Mk8 40th Anniversary car but it was a little stripped down and missing some basic things the wife really wanted like Keyless Entry so I traded it off on a 24 SE right when the 25’s were hitting lots…they were dealing like crazy on the 24’s.

I’ve had this idea floating around in my head since I first saw the Blue Cruise sensor location. Once I knew the measurements worked I just had to get the trim piece, cut up the plastic cover, completely take apart a P3 gauge down to the bare display then cut and sand things a little at a time until they fit together. It came out better than I hoped and as much as I loved the vent gauge, this is even better. View attachment 35065

Impressive and creative!

Unbroken, the stuff you do to your vehicle never ceases to amaze me… that is sweet!

315/40/21’s were tempting me way too much…I couldn’t resist.

Those appear to have a more conservative "rim protector" when compared to the 315/35/22s you had prior. I think these will fit well.

Does the Blue Cruise still work?

My car is a 2020, they never had blue cruise.

What is that piece where you place the gauge used for in your st? Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

That’s the top steering column trim for a 2025^ Explorer with Blue Cruise

25SWST · Apr 25, 2026

Ah I see now I need to see in my 25 if there is a way to implement it while keeping blue cruise ability.

Not sure if you’ve mentioned it on your post but what type of oil do you use?

Tires are on. I’m not in love. My Pirelli 315’s were a much better fit. These Yokohama’s are WIDE. They’re a bit too far past flush for my taste. I’m gonna put a few miles on them but it’s highly likely I’ll go back to 295’s shortly.

Yes those are wide. I was hoping they were narrower than your Pirellis. Darn. Maybe a 295 Yoko since they run wide.
