    22 x 11’s

    Because a 22x11 with a 305 series tire doesn't fit up front. So unless you want to run a staggered setup, 10.5 is what you buy. Me and a couple others have mocked this up and unless you feel like trimming your fender liner, it rubs, at any offset, from +25 to +35.

    Oil catch cans

    it doesn't, and its why catch cans are one of the first things that most people install on engines that are solely direct injected.

    Hitch Cover Ordering

    If your brain is in the same spot mine is (I'm 100% going to wrap it), a gloss surface is better for vinyl adhesion (and more importantly removal/replacement) than a raw 3-d print or unpainted.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I believe it. I did 55% (over 70% factory) on my windshield, 15% (over 70% factory) on the front windows, and 20% (over 20% factory) on everything else (including pano roof) in XPEL XR+ ceramic tint on my vehicle and its been amazing. basically zero heat penetration and i don't even need to wear...

    SYNC Won’t Hold Last Audio Source When Turned Off

    the one that annoys me is that the seek buttons on the steering wheel don't remember where you are when you start up in the morning. if I'm on preset #6 when the car starts up and i press the << arrow, it goes to preset #1 instead of #5. i have my presets organized with a mix of fm and xm based...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    My 2020 came stock (out of the plastic, not dealer installed) with 70% on the windshield and two front passenger windows, and 20% on everything else. you sure you didn't have ANYTHING? in the lower right corner of the window in the manufacturing etch there should be a code for laminated tint level.

    Lower suspension?

    lol, quite true. even the true performance wagons are getting taller... 4" separates the new RS6 and a Q3. an allroad is actually taller than a macan with PASM in the low setting--silly times we live in.

    Lower suspension?

    having owned both an E63 wagon and a cts-v wagon.... is "station wagon" a bad thing??? I'm confused.

    Largest tire on stock rim

    look at @blaster9 's rig. i believe he has fitted the largest off-road tire that you can stuff in these things and its a 265. you could maybe go to 285 with a lower profile tread but its still gonna be dicey. i really like this tool for mocking up fitment. you can't increase OD AND offset too...

    Largest tire on stock rim

    the widest you will want to go on a 9" rim will be 285. Even then, the tire mfgs recommend a 9.5" wheel for 285. of course you can find folks that go wider but its generally a bad idea. whats also a bad idea is running two different diameters of tire. a 315/40(r) and 305/40(f) setup will not work.

    Blackstone Oil Analysis Reports

    Interesting that the dealer is either continuing to put in a different fill/blend or this engine is a little rougher on oil than most. I will be doing the next change with Mobil 1 and see what happens (this fill was supposed to be synthetic per Ford). Has Ford resolved their issues with fuel...

    2020 ST tail lights

    good catch. i didn't even notice that. i like the red, so I just did the reverse/turn covers... thats super odd they would do that. i guess it pays to read the product description and reviews. :geek:

    2020 ST tail lights

    I bought pre-cut kits for the headlights, taillights, rear markers, and front fogs. They all fit perfect and application was a breeze. I wouldn't do paint PPF from them (have a pro do it by hand and use a product like XPEL), but their other stuff is awesome.
