    2011 XLT Manual Liftgate Stuck

    Hello all! Had the problem for awhile now and I’ve searched for a solution here and there, but it’s becoming more and more inconvenient and I need help. The rear hatch is locked shut and won’t open. When I push the button to open it in the rear, I can hear it wanting to open but it’ll only...

    Stock exhast tips on 40 Series Flowmasters?

    Did you end up making this change? If so do you have a video of the sound? I want to put an exhaust on, but I'm weary of how it's going to sound.

    2011 Lifted XLT Project

    Where did you find another lift?! Would love to look at it! I purchased some spacers for it, but the rims I put on, I believe, are 4.5" backspacing so I ended up not using spacers and now they just sit here lol. but I do rub the slightest bit full turn in reverse or full turn and hit a bump or...

    2011 Lifted XLT Project

    They are the Kelly Safari TSR's? I think. Seem to be all terrains, picked them up off of craigslist for a good deal so I had to do it. And yeah, I've been impatiently waiting for a legitimate lift kit to come out for it, but I don't think it'll happen. No, not really anything new. I have my...

    2011 Lifted XLT Project

    It's called "ExoGear". Pretty cheap alternative, I think it was only $50? Let me know if you make those flares! Would love to see them.

    2011 Lifted XLT Project

    Well it's been a bit since I updated this, so I'll just let the timeline of the pictures speak for themselves, but this is a list of a couple things I've done: - iPad mini mount for the dash - Tinted all windows to 20% - Blacked out the headlights on the inside |__> Tinted the turn...

    2011 Lifted XLT Project

    I can take a couple pictures for you. and with the tires I have, just had to do a little trimming behind the front wheels on the fenders and on the pinch weld down there. To me, no big deal. A big deal to some though

    liftgate applique retrofit

    Thank you! I didn't want to make any permanent changes in case I ended up wanting to trade it in or sell it. Plasti-dip was a great alternative. Took about 90% of the chrome and covered it up with it.

    liftgate applique retrofit

    Removing it is not hard. You just have to take the lift gate panel off from the inside and remove the bolts from there, if I remember correctly it's a bunch of 10mm. I removed mine so I could plastic-dip it.

    Adding Switches

    Makes sense. I've inly been on their site a couple times and haven't looked too much into it because of just that, the pricing. Figured I could find a cheaper/not so bad looking option.

    Adding Switches

    Yeah I gotcha. I like the idea of the Havis Console, just not sure what id fill it with. The main use would be like 4 switches, if that haha. But they sell extra slots for like.. Storage, yeah? And how do you like the arm rests for it?

    Adding Switches

    Oh it is filled up! Lol. No need for switches I assume? Haha

    Adding Switches

    Ah okay. Easy setup? And do you plan on throwing anything in there?
  16. B

    Adding Switches

    Okay. I wanna see if anyone is running the Havis setup on here.

    Adding Switches

    Ah I gotcha. I actually use both for storage. Just a couple little things. But good suggestions! Never even though about the lid covered portion. Might look into that one.

    Could you elaborate a little? Like snap a pic of what area you're talking about?

    Adding Switches

    Been trying to find a practical spot for some aftermarket switches for AUX lights or whatever else I end up fabing in my ex. I noticed, since I got an XLT, that I don't have these buttons or even the part. I'm currently away from my ex and can't access the space, but is it possible to order...

    Lift kits for 5th gen. Explorer

    Could you re-upload your picture? Would love to see it! Also, did the strut/shock upgrades make a difference in your opinion? I did the lift on mine as well and threw on 265/70r17.
