    Rear windshield wiper delete.

    Any or tricks for removing the interior panels on the rear hatch? Plan to do this wiper delete this weekend.

    pelotonracer2's build

    Finally someone else with titanium lug nuts! Looks great. Agreed, I don't like black lug nuts and don't mind spending the cash on quality parts. I personally wanted closed end, heard great things about ChasingJs. I like the burnished look on most of their parts. I know some people think I...

    Whipple intercooler

    I was in a similar boat a few weeks back, waiting for the Thermal exhaust to ship. I will say I was a pest, because I was waiting a few months for a $1600 part. Ron didn't always answer the phone, but when he did he was understanding, great to talk to, and very informative on the situation...

    The Thermal R&D cat back exhaust PREMIER!

    Like any exhaust system, it's pretty simple. Basic ratchet and socket set should do it. I see no reason anyone couldn't install it . I know the factory system is pretty bulky, not sure if you need a second person for that.

    The Thermal R&D cat back exhaust PREMIER!

    Haven't installed mine, but it's sitting in my garage. Looks high quality, and sounds great in the clips I've listened to. Also, it's the only one that's truly cat-back so you replace the crappy Ford flex joints. I'd say you made the right choice!

    Ford Nationals, Carlisle, PA

    Love this show. I used to go back every year, combine it with visiting family in Philadelphia & Lansdale (born in Harleysville). Haven't been in 3 years, will take my kiddos next year.

    Explorer ST Wheel Size, Bolt Pattern, Offset & Tire Information

    Every pound matters (especially rotational and unsprung), and even a little bit here and there can add up. Just because the truck weighs a bunch doesn't mean I shouldn't chase weight out of it. Anyone need the link to the titanium lug nuts I got?

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Didn't do anything to the car per say, but received my OCD Plug pillar covers and Thermal R&D exhaust! Thanks to @ron@whooshmotorsports for answering my questions while awaiting shipment. Will get both installed shortly.

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    @UNBROKEN love the strut bar, hope FenFab gets his available soon! But my only question, does it flex down when you lean on it like the useless stock one! :LOL: Side note, for a minivan forum, this sure attracts a lot of super mega engineers and know-it-alls!

    MBRP 2.5” Cat-Back Exhaust Release

    I had an X-pipe on my 03 Cobra and it was neither high-pitched or raspy. My 13 Boss 302 with an H-pipe was far more raspy. Both high flow cats and Borla S-Type mufflers with factory manifolds.

    Racing Brake is in the game.

    There's a good chance you'll see no improvement in best 60-0/70-0 distance. Average over several times, now that should improve with the improved fade resistance.

    Whipple intercooler

    Yep it's bad for raw materials. We're getting ready for new molds at work, and resin lead times are up from a week to 4-6 months. Even basic ABS is almost 2 months. Thankfully the new PCBAs we need use in-stock semiconductors, otherwise my project would be screwed!

    Strut tower brace

    I saw a teaser pic on his IG. Definitely want to upgrade from the stock crap.

    Black lug nuts

    One quick snap I took before work today.

    Black lug nuts

    I need some better side pics, but I have these now. Doesn't affect what you're looking for but hood letters are gone and license plate is black now.

    What did your Ford Explorer ST replace?

    2018 Mercedes GLE350. Nice car, but needed something bigger. And for less than a 2021 GLE350 (RWD, 255hp turbo 4) we got more power with the ST, as well as more tech inside. Although the current GLE full-width digital dash is much nicer than the current ST set-up.
