What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[MikeHTally]

Used it to fetch a replacement water heater. Got the unit on its platform last night, connected to water and gas this morning. I can't stand cold showers.

I did the other three & got done just before noon
While I was down there up front I also gave that big plastic valance panel a wipe. Can't believe the amount of weld spatter all over the steel parts of the suspendies & structure etc

Where to buy that center console ?

Installed this cubby mounted phone charger. Now I can charge two phones at once. Here’s the link to where you can buy them;

Works like a charm.

That’s from an Aviator. You have to buy all of the parts and put it together yourself. I was never able to find a complete salvaged one so I just bought new.

Good find. Does it actually charge faster than the centre console wireless charger? I find all the built in one does is maintain while you are using the phone.

I’m not sure yet, I haven’t driven far enough to know if it does charge better than the centre console charger. I will let you know when I do.

Their springs and sway bar are nice additions. The strut brace won’t change anything handling wise but it cleans up under the hood nicely.

When bought as a package the brace gets added for about $100. I do recall seeing your earlier comments on the STB. I do a lot of highway driving - a better handling vehicle is a safer vehicle, plus it certainly boosts the fun factor on winding roads.

Received mine about a week ago. Installed last week. Truck handles much better with no real degradation of the ride quality. The springs don't lower it a ton in the rear but the front is nice. Overall it looks great though.

Could you give me an estimate of the labor hours required to install the Steeda kit?

thanks

I work at a Ford dealership and had the tech's do it. It took pretty much most of the day including the alignment. I paid $900 for everything. That was at cost. I've seen guys quoted anywhere from $400 to $1500 just for springs. It's all over the board. I would say expect to pay at least $500 plus an alignment.

I emailed Steeda - they said they would charge 6.5 hours including alignment.

Got 'er done. A little over $800 including alignment. Didn't get a chance to run it - tomorrow...

Good stuff. I’m sure you’ll be happy. Nice being able to get it done by Steeda.
