    I have a UPR oil catch can on my 25'. Look up their installation video on their website and that might be the help you need.

    Coil Spring Inserts

    Coil inserts are GARBAGE and should never be used. They help nothing and screw up the ride by limiting spring travel. If you truly want to lift the rear, you need proper spacers. I have a Traxda 1 1/2" lift on my Explorer. If you truly want to be a little higher, you need to add correct spacers...

    Hi all, I just purchased a 2020 ST with factory tow

    Yes, I installed the airbags myself and I did follow their instructions. The airbags are a pain in the ass to get them into the inside of the coil springs.. putting dishsoap on them helps them slide in but it also makes them slippery in your hands while working with them. The other red part in...

    Hi all, I just purchased a 2020 ST with factory tow

    After you have the brake controller installed and set, the only other thing to consider is tongue weight. Anything beyond 300 pounds and you start seeing the rearend squat. I haul a trailer with nearly 400 lbs. of tongue weight and I installer Airlift brand rear spring airbags. I add around 30...

    Tinting gone wrong, elsewhere - need help

    Use your VIN # when the new panel is ordered. Be sure what is ordered whether you order it or someone else does, that it aligns with your vehicles VIN. You can also call a dealer and give them your VIN and have them look up the correct panel (and part number) for your vehicle. Like UNBROKEN said...

    Steeda sub frame bushing kit

    I have a 25' ST. I have these Steeda bushing supports and have never heard any added noise what so ever from them. I also have a diff brace, a JXB bushing insert for the 3-bolt subframe, and a Traxda 1.5" lift kit on it. No added noise or vibrations for me on anything.

    Charging with a charger in garage

    I believe if the vehicle is not started over a certain period of time, the vehicle automatically goes into a deep sleep mode (AKA battery saving mode). I do believe this is regardless of having a maintainer on it or not.

    Explore ST 2025 model and center screen not loading profile

    Mine shows the Explorer screen for up to around 30 seconds or more randomly. A couple of weeks ago the screen started to boot up but stayed blank. I waited a bit and still nothing. I shut off the vehicle and restarted it and it was still the same. I was on a day trip 250 miles away from home so...

    2025 Oil Capacity

    This dead horse has been re-kicked to death again. Maybe it's time you let it go.. add however much or however little F%$king oil you want and give it a rest already.

    Gas Treatment

    Well damn.. I better not let my ST hear this news or it might not wanna drink any other fuel brand. SMH !! I can't vouch for their fuel being any better than any other company's fuel but I will give Costco their props for makin a lot of good stuff. Their cakes, rotisserie chicken, etc. are damn...

    Gas Treatment

    You all realize that nearly all gasoline is made and comes from the same refineries right. Its not uncommon for a Mobil, BP, Sunoco, etc. trucks to be pulling up and filling from the same supply refineries. Now each company may add their own snake oil additived to the original blend but its all...

    2025 Oil Capacity

    I am fortunate to have lots of toys and I am part of another ATV forum. Our ATV's hold 2-quarts of oil. It is NOT UNCOMMON for many on the forum to run up to 1/2 a quart more in their ATV's. Now that is some perspective and you are worried about 1/2 a quart too much in a 6 - 6 1/2 quart...

    JMO, looks like an oil and/or unburned fuel issue to me.. I don't believe I've ever had crust like that on the exhaust tips of any vehicle I've ever owned regarless of mileage.

    Interior Ambient Light Strips?

    I had the lower tech. package on my 22' that didn't include the ambient lighting. I think I had package 401A vs 401B or something to that effect. The higher package included ambient lighting. the 25' s have everything and there was no lower package to get (at lease early in the ordering process...

    Interior Ambient Light Strips?

    I dont know about adding lighted strips to the trim areas of the dash like in the pic. but when I had my 22' ST I added the ambient lighting kit shown below from Amazon. One light mounter under each of the front seats, at the back, to light up the passenger floors. Each of the other (2) lights...

    Front Brake Pad Removal.

    Adhesive pad on the back??? you mean the anti-rattle pad that is a part of the pad assembly. That is completely irrelevant to removing the pads. Also, you don't need to remove the pads and rotors to simply check them. Just pull the rims and look at them. The calipers come off pretty much just...
