    Center Console for Ford Explorer Police Interceptor

    Okay scratch that. The power to be deemed I need to pay to sell you things. Screw that, this is something I wanted to offer to you guys as a way to pay it back for the info provided here. I make a good living doing my day job, this 3D printing stuff is just a hobby for me and I'm certainly not...

    Center Console for Ford Explorer Police Interceptor

    I dont see any bashing? Anyone else? Constructive criticism is always appreciated. If you dont have access to a 3D printer, body plugs are the next best thing, and IMO perfectly acceptable. I have an access to a printer so for me its easier to measure and print something than to drive down to...

    Center Console for Ford Explorer Police Interceptor

    The last one is a bit too small, you can see the edge of the roof liner peeking out so i'm gonna print one with a bit wider lip to compensate

    Center Console for Ford Explorer Police Interceptor

    Yea i've seen those before. Shouldnt be very diffucult to design a plug for it. I'd need the width and height of the hole, plus would you want the screw holes covered as well?

    Center Console for Ford Explorer Police Interceptor

    Center Console for Ford Explorer Police Interceptor

    No, the console i got already came with it. I guess if it doent have the mode selector knob, it comes with a coin tray. Would there be interest in plugs to fill up holes as well?

    Center Console for Ford Explorer Police Interceptor

    As you can see it reuses the factory trim piece that goes around the shifter boot and it clips into the clips that are already there. I purposely made the clips wider on the 3d printed portion so they can be dremeled down to exact fit. I can also print custom plugs for all the aftermarket...

    The 2.3l Ecoboost XLT is fast...

    Fast?? Come on....the same 2.3 in the mustang is considered quick...but no 300hp vehicle that weights 4600lbs should EVER be called fast. Fast for your expectations maybe.

    2013 PIU questions

    Aww you're cute. Semantics. Seeing as how you can only mount 18" tires on 18" rims it's implied.

    2013 PIU questions

    As far as tires....18" minimums to clear the larger rotors.

    Center Console for Ford Explorer Police Interceptor

    450 USD for the center console? Yea you can keep em at that price. I paid $175 Canadian for mine. Go to www.car-part.com enter your zip code, and your vehicle info, obviously you wont be able to choose the PIU console, but choose any other trim and it will give you a list of junkyards that will...

    Flex seats fit in Explorer

    Okay UPDATE: The folding brackets WILL NOT FIT if your PIU is equipped with the additional bracing. Two brackets that bolt to the floor of the 2nd row seat position are in the way. They must be removed so the stock folding bracket can be installed. I kept the X brace and the bracket that it...

    Flex seats fit in Explorer

    I thought id be nice to repay some of the info that made my life a lot easier in regards to the PIU. Unfortunatelly the wrecker is closed until January so i will have to hold off finding out about the hooks until then.

    Flex seats fit in Explorer

    Just an FYI. I just finished fitting 10 way adjustable, heated leather seats from a 2010 Flex in my PIU. Final results: <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="aKibk9x"><a href="//imgur.com/aKibk9x"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js"...

    Just bought PIU - surging rpm ?

    To the dealership that seemed "amazed" that this worked....remind me to never EVER bring a car there again. Most new vehicles engage the torque converter lockup at even city driving speeds to increase the MPGs... what you're seeing there is a clear sign of the TC lockup solenoid engaging and...

    2016 Starter Problem

    Yes, most of todays FI engines see you pressing the throttle to the floor as a signal that you want to clear out the cylinders and will continue to crank without firing injectors. So while you physically dont open the throttle body with the gas pedal anymore, the ECU can and still does the same...

    Things i learned about my PIU.

    Hi All, so ive had the PIU in my possession for two days battling "issues" that turned out to be very simple fixes. Maybe this will help others in their "de policing" of their PIU Issue number 1. Here in Canada, we have to have DRLs...well, the lights would only stay on with them being in the...

    New PIU owner

    Evening All, just wanted to say hello. I've recently purchased a PIU at an auction with the idea of it being the hauler/daily driver vehicle to replace my POS Chrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee. I rent a lot of vehicles for work and always try to get a Ford as i really like their new interior...
