    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Vinyl and screen protection from OCD Plug. Emblems from Emblem City. Didn't get to the front Ford emblem because I don't have the time today. Probably a Monday project.

    Steeda Subframe bushings

    This x1000. No one is working for free and the more people that touch your transaction, the more some small cut of the money gets diverted off to a 3rd/4th/5th party before it reaches the maker. Support the people doing the work you appreciate as much as you can.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Installed an afe sway bar. Took it for a quick spin and it's great. I'd describe it as tightening up the rear and getting rid of any wasted movement. Felt flat through some moderate to easy curves between 60 and 90. Excited to really spin it up in the next couple weeks. Notes from install: -...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Used some polymer picture hanging thread stuff because I didn't have any fishing line. No heat, just get the letters off and used a knockoff 3M eraser wheel to clean it up. I didn't really care about difficultly to clean, I just like the cleaner look.

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    You've got me curious about these headlights. You mentioned they're difficult to find, but is there anything preventing you from ordering a set from Europe new? You have a part number you could share?

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Easy little job today. Looks good. Need to get that blue oval blacked out. Somewhat undecided about the red ST badges. Blacked out looks sharp, but so does the accent color. Maybe flat black ST against the gloss grill? Dunno...

    Lowering Springs Pros and Cons

    I'm debating between these two sets, so I appreciate the photos. Are these shots right after install, or a little time to settle?

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    OK, second foray under the car. This wasn't hard but I don't have an impact wrench and I did it with the car on the ground. Doable but you have to contort yourself a bit to get leverage on those big bolts. An impact wrench would make this infinitely easier. Didn't get to drive it yet because...

    JXB bushing insert

    Yeah. This is a fun street/daily car. It's not getting seriously launched against a clock, probably ever. Mostly just inducing smiles and keeping the butt dyno entertained. My thinking is that if I can put a bandaid on Ford's shortcoming for a bit, that should mitigate something catastrophic...

    JXB bushing insert

    What wound up being the verdict on these JXB inserts? I've got a single bolt setup. From looking at the JXB video comparing various setups, it looks like the bushing insert alone does a very good job of eliminating movement. I think my plan for now would be to install the JXB insert along...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Installed a Diode Dynamics Brakehitch light and K&N air filter. Probably going to move to some suspension parts next. Looking at the subframe lockout kit and sway bar. Is there a material difference between the Steeda and FenFAB subframe kits? Steeda looks part dependent based on which...

    Any Cajun ST owners?

    I know it's old, but Google found me this thread so I figured I'd bump it. I'm new to the Baton Rouge area and also new to owning an ST. Anyone in particular y'all would go to for installs or work? I like cars and am somewhat mechanically inclined, but lack the tools, space, and time to do much...

    Interesting. Did not know that was a thing. She's going to have to get used to regular air like the rest of us, LOL.
