    Thank you both!!! I could not find the part number to save my life. Going to see if my local Dealer has them before ordering.

    How to: 2013 Explorer 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 Water Pump and Timing Set Replacement

    Where did you find the cam phaser bolts? I am in the process of doing this repair on my 2013 XLT 3.5L (Non-turbo) and see that the bolts must be replaced. I have everything else except those. Thanks in advanced

    Side Mirror Courtesy Lights

    Take it from me. I cut mine open, new bulbs, and resealed. They only worked for a while. Got these for my 13 XLT and will never look back: http://drivebright.com/home/shop/v4-extreme-led-puddle-light-pack-brightest/

    Diode Dynamics HID Users... come on in!

    Any of you guys mind uploading a pic of where you mounted your Ballasts? I'm join to relocate mine here soon and want to see where others have theirs mounted. I would like to try to bolt them in, but not sure if that is possible yet. Thanks

    Rear Bumper Protectors

    This is the one I wanted to get, but like the comments say it could interfere with the rear sensors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T6MYKUO/ref=s9_simh_gw_p263_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-2&pf_rd_r=143V9EJS8FG7BWYJ5Z8N&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2091268722&pf_rd_i=desktop

    Rear Bumper Protectors

    Oops!!! Sorry about that. :-) I want something like that, but don't know if I can bite the bullet, the Ex barely fits in my garage as is.

    Rear Bumper Protectors

    It all comes down to what you like. I had edge damage, so my choice was set. I was just glad I could find it for under $100. I love how the factory one says "Explorer" Either option the OP should be able to find what they need. Here is a link for the factory one...

    Rear Bumper Protectors

    True, but I'd rather have the leading edge protected, as mine already has some damage from loading/unloading (previous owners) so its a decent trade-off.

    Rear Bumper Protectors

    This is what I just got: http://www.bmcextremecustoms.net/20foexrebupr.html Works and looks nice in my opinion. Better than the factory version.

    OEM Hankook Tires, Like or Dislike

    Only thing I hate about mine, is mine have very little grip when I'm on wet pavement, and start to go from a stop (damn FWD). I can spin my tires without much throttle. I have 36k or so on them but. Since I don't know what the original depth was I can't say they need to replaced or not (original...

    Roof Carrier Recommendation

    I haven't tried this on my Ex yet, but have on a 2009 Escape and it was really nice. kept everything nice and dry (trip to Myrtle Beach) and it rained the whole trip down. I did take it with us when we went to Disney this year with the Ex, but didn't end up needing it, so it just stayed rolled...

    Dead battery lessons learned

    Better than jumper cables, give this a go: http://amzn.com/B00T2GT9L4 I bought one for my trip to Disney recently just in case. Haven't used it yet, but am on the look out for a car/truck that needs jumping to try it.

    Running Boards - DeeZee and Others

    I don't have them, but wanted them on mine. I did do some searching on here, and from what I've read if you have little ones (under 10) they are nice, but most people either complain that they hit their feet on them or they just collect snow and crap. Not really useful, so I decided against...

    Auto close - Moonroof and Windows

    Would love to have FOB control of this, but also know that my '13 Ex has pinch protection. I found out because my 15 y.o. thought it was funny to stick his hand through while I was closing it to get a rise out of my 4 y.o. (it didn't touch him) but as a test I did it: right when it was starting...

    Questions pertaining headlights

    Just got done with a trip from Cincinnati to Florida, driving all night on the way down to Disney, and from 11am to 3:30am on the way home. I have to agree with you the stock headlights where crap so way before we left I did some research and replaced my headlights with Philips 9011's. OMG they...

    Adding dashcam. Any tips?

    Loving mine more every day. This was this morning on the drive to work, I only saw the guy right before the camera saw him. Look to the right of the screen, and he shows up at about the 6 second mark. https://youtu.be/Odi4aiZ6vhc

    Simple upgrade for rear turn signal bulbs?

    Odd. I hope those take care of it for you. ::Waiting for his to start to hyper-flash::

    Simple upgrade for rear turn signal bulbs?

    Did your bulbs have 2 wires in them or 4, I haven't had that issue at all, and I'm wondering if due to the ones I have I have more resistance

    This almost sucked

    Nope no damage (Thank god) Its really wasn't that thick, but all the cars/trucks behind me changed lanes just to avoid it. The Ex treated it like a small speed bump.

    This almost sucked

    Driving home from work, windows down. Kicking it to some country music and I hear "CRAAACK" next thing I know I see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBvTkcht1_U Only missed my truck by inches. Traffic behind me was changing lanes to go around it.
