    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    Do you have any pics you can show? I'm thinking about order the H&R's as well. I thought the drops were 1.25 front and 1.65 rear... maybe yours still needs some settling time?

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    After I received my WT's.. I called them about my 2nd row. The side do appear to fold in and not lay against the sides. I had emailed them and sent them pictures... They responded indicating that it is a "minor" deformity and that I should remove the Floorliners and lay them upside down...

    How to: Explorer LED Interior swap + Puddle Lamps DIY

    Yes. The LED from DriveBright includes map, 2nd row and 3rd row cargo (by power fold buttons). I got the Kit, 3rd row dome, puddle and license plate lights from DriveBright. Pretty happy with them. Only exception was the license plate bulbs were a little yellow so I had to go and get...

    3rd Row Power Button cover / disable switch needed

    I have had this happen to me a few times.... Luckily with little or nothing inside.... But did manage to fold up my cargo liner. I agree that some sort of plastic flip cover would be ideal... But in the interim... Maybe the fuse would be the next best thing? Which fuse would it be?

    Rear Bumper Protectors

    I too have this on my Sport... however I opted to put it on myself vs have the Dealer do it as I knew they wouldn't put it all the way to the edge of the bumper. I placed my up the edge of the bumper so that its covered and protected.

    Corrupt files on USB Flash Drive... Can't Delete them!!

    chefduane: Yes... it's the first time using a Flash Drive. I've been using my iPod which I really don't have any issues with except that it's always indexing... even though I leave it plugged in all the time.

    Corrupt files on USB Flash Drive... Can't Delete them!!

    Thanks for the reply guys... but I know for a fact that it wasn't installed by my Mac nor was it preinstalled on the flash drive. I reformatted the drive so there was nothing on it. I did see the hidden files as I enabled to see them on my Mac. Here's what the file names look like... My...

    Corrupt files on USB Flash Drive... Can't Delete them!!

    I put 8 mp3's on a flash drive just to test out if it would work in the Explorer (MFT) As soon as i put it in.. I got the error "corrupt files can't be played" (something of that sort).

    Floor mats/liners/cargo mats

    I just received the front, 2nd and 3rd row liners from WT. Good fit. Buckled a little around the edges so hoping those will flat out in a few days under the sun. I did get the Ford cargo area mat (behind the 3rd row area when the seats are up). It nice as it says "Explorer" on it. I also got...

    Lowering the Explorer

    Just wondering if anyone lowered their 16 Sport and can provide any info on the ride quality. Looking to get the H&R's for my 16 Sport, but wanted to see if it would sacrifice the ride in any way (more bumpy, stiffer, etc). I've read through some of the Lowering threads but couldn't find any...

    OK.. So COTUS had an ETA of 6/26. As of today.. it's still awaiting shipment and now that 6/26 has passed, COTUS is not longer showing an ETA. I've reached out to my Dealer but have not received a response yet. I've also reached out to Ford Service and they say that there are no updates as of...
