Wasn't really today but it was last Friday. Installed H&R Springs, mounted and balanced 285/50 Michelins on RTR Aero 7 20x9.5 +33 wheels. I think this is the first Explorer with Aero 7s on it.

Looks great! What is the load rating on these wheels?

It's pretty close ,Not a disappointment difference.
I contacted Zeus 3D and ask what kind of protectant can I use on it. They said 303 or a good ABS plastic dressing.
I used some Meguiars Ultimate Black for now ,after I took these pictures and It even looks better like the factory now .

I like those alot. I think the vehicle should have come with some form of hood vent.

Used it to tow my trailer, unloading my other house. Still better tow mileage than my Ram

I finally set my Steeda Sway Bar to the stiffest setting, only took about 30 minutes including jacking up the vehicle. Also noticed that my rear shocks are blown out and leaking while I was down there! I was hoping some aftermarket shocks would be available by now, even some KYB's would be better than the stocks!

Put Silent mode to proper use, when we did car camping in Joshua Tree national park.
Changing ambient lighting to red, will make sure you get enough lighting, without your eyes adjusting back to day mode.

id look at the PIU rear shocks as ive heard they are a little stiffer and might work well with the new sway bar.

Thanks, I'll ask if they have any in stock while I'm there on Saturday.

Busted some suds today.

Took our bikes to a near by beach bike trail.


I no longer have to worry about finding a good parking spot or parking fees. I just park at a safe place close by and ride the rest of the way.

Temporary bedroom coming soon.

0000 steel wooled the windshield today and new Motorcraft wiper blades front and rear.

OCD black PPF on all the pillars. Should be getting the new Steeda strut tower brace in and then off to powder coater who has my steeda springs and rear sway bar to powder coat red one batch. I’ve thought about the steeda tow links..but didn’t know how much of a difference they’d make at all.
