    Post your favorite pic...it’s a show off thread.

    Finally got everything cleaned up nicely since the Velgen VF9's we're installed. Gotta figure out the next upgrade now.

    Tire size suggestions for 22s

    I can't imagine on that set up there is and a number of guys are ruining that tire size. With slightly wider set up on mine and sightly less side wall I have zero rubbing off any kind.

    Reverse lights

    I have the XPR set from Diode Dynamics and it's a night and day difference between between them and the factory lights. They're definitely on the pricier side but well worth it and easy to install. https://www.diodedynamics.com/backup-leds-for-2013-2021-ford-explorer-pair.html

    New Velgen VF9's w/Michelins

    Yeah I can imagine I would have a tougher time getting much wear out of those on that set up as well. We'll see what I can get out these but now that I've got the new wheel/tire set up and I'm super happy with how it looks I've started looking for a CT5V Blackwing and in the event I can get one...

    New Velgen VF9's w/Michelins

    Absolutely! When I was looking around I really thought the VF9's looked great on several Jeeps but couldn't find any pictures of ST's with them but they look awesome now that they're finally on. Thankfully for me this isn't my main vehicle so the ride(which honestly to me isn't dramatically...

    New Velgen VF9's w/Michelins

    Yeah I did the Lamin-x gunsmoke from whoosh motorsports. Going to be removing though as it's just dimmed the headlights too much for my taste. They're not even brighter than an LED street lamp now.

    New Velgen VF9's w/Michelins

    I worked with Adrian and got them directly from Velgen and they were on my doorstep 2 days after I paid for them. Extremely happy with how they look and the dramatic change in stance from having the wider wheels.

    Tire size suggestions for 22s

    As stated originally I have the 22x10.5 +30 offset for the wheels and ended up with Michelin Pilot super sports in 305/35/22. For me personally the proportions are better in this set up and no change in the overall tire height. Based on all of the information on this thread the perfect wheel...

    New Velgen VF9's w/Michelins

    Without a doubt you can feel the bumps in the road more compared to factory. I am riding on H&R springs as well and that to me made a bigger difference than the wheels. That said the wife hasn't complained about it yet and I also didn't pursue the modifications to it in the interest of having...

    New Velgen VF9's w/Michelins

    Yeah I have to agree and it makes a massive difference with having the wheels now flush with the fender edge. Will have factory 21s available for sale of anyone is interested.

    New Velgen VF9's w/Michelins

    Finally got these installed! Followed @UNBROKEN for wheel size at 22x10.5 +30. Tires were a bit of a pain in the ass as so many sizes are unavailable with zero ETA for availability but ended up with Michelin Super Sports in 305 35 22. The guys at Velgen were super quick to get back to me and...

    Light tinting..

    I just recently ordered and installed the Lamin-x kit in Gunsmoke from whoosh motorsports and it wasn't super difficult nor did it require any thing tool wise that you wouldn't already have. That said I'm going to be removing them shortly after the weather improves and I can get it all cleaned...

    Tire size suggestions for 22s

    The biggest challenge is simply availability at this point. Pirellis would be great but no one has them and at my preferred size of 315 there are not really any great tires available either. One benefit of being in Texas is that much of the roads I drive on are cement so I don’t have much in the...

    Tire size suggestions for 22s

    Have a set of Velgen VF9's coming soon and looking at tire's. Not much available in 315/35/22 or 305/35/22. 305s seems only pilot sports or Lexani. Anyone had both sizes and/or have a recommendation on size that will work best? Wheel size btw is the standard 22x10.5 +30

    Is alignment needed???

    Has anyone used any camber bolts for the rear or front? Installed h&r some time ago and then when I took it to get aligned they said it was just outside of factory specs but they couldn't get it to factory specs without camber bolts. TYIA

    Cracked Front Camera Lens

    My guess is road debris as there's a ton of road construction between my house and the Costco I ran to. Also the car I parked behind was still there when I left so no reason to assume it was bumped in to.

    Cracked Front Camera Lens

    Has anyone dealt with this and replaced their camera? Took a 2.5 mile drive to the store and when pulling in to the garage flipped the camera on and saw the lens was badly cracked.

    Just installed a Whipple intercooler.

    This is absolutely worth it even if you're not planning on tuning. I installed mine back in June before I was tuned and the difference in acceleration is immediately noticeable. It feels like the engine is just having a much easier time.

    aFe Intake -vs- Whipple Intercooler -vs- Downpipe

    I'm over in Fort Worth and I installed the Whipple IC at the beginning of July and the difference especially at highway speeds was definitely noticeable. It felt like it was accelerating with much more ease. I currently have Thermal downpipe back exhaust, Whipple IC and ZFG 93 tune and I...
