    How to: Explorer Sport EB convert to vent to atmosphere with factory blow off valves

    I've been running mine open at least a year now and just put it back into closed. I didn't notice any significant blow by and I have no other vacuum mods or catch can.

    LED Headlight Conversions

    Had my OPT7 Fluxbeam X 9005 installed in January of this year go out on me this week. The bulb itself is fine, but the little capacitor box seems to be fried and is no longer powering the bulb itself. It still powers the tiny fan. Have reinstalled my stockers for right now and have contacted...

    LED Headlight Conversions

    So far the Opti's have been good for me, and they are a fairly reputable brand from what I understand. I would not replace your foglights with white LEDs, actually foglights are much more effective when yellower vs white. You can replace them the same way though - just need to figure out which...

    2014 Ford Ex Sport Back window blows out

    No. I don't believe any of the new Gen have this functionality.

    LED Headlight Conversions

    I have the Opt7 X bulbs. I put the dust covers back on but the bottom portion is not fully sealed so that the wire can come though. I didn't want to cut them in case I go back to stock for some reason. I've had no issues this way for at least a couple k miles now with a few multi hour night drives.

    2014 Ford Ex Sport Back window blows out

    In which case you might as well just replace out of pocket and not go through insurance since your deductible is likely higher than the cost of the glass replacement!

    LED Headlight Conversions

    I didn't need them for my 2015 sport. I just put in the bulbs and was good to go. As far as the other guy who had problems getting to the bulbs - I don't recall having any major issues. It was a tight fit for my hands, but I was able to maneuver the bulbs OK.

    Remote Start 2011-2015 FORSCAN

    Wanted to thank you for posting this. Was really interested in setting up remote start on my 2015 sport and was able to buy keys, program, and cut them for next to nothing, but every local dealership wanted $150+ just to do the programming. Found this thread, picked up a $30 cord from Amazon...

    2013 Explorer front seat removal

    Yep - I removed both my seats a few weeks ago to remove the wiring that was under there for the built in headrest monitors. There is a bracket that is bolted to the frame that you can't access the bolts to, but the seat itself just sits on top of that bracket and as far as I recall, there are...

    Push Bar - 2016 / 2017 / 2018 Police Interceptor Utility Explorer

    I see what you're saying. I'll measure up all the parts for the 2015 when I get it, since it would be interesting to know, and if someone ever takes the time to measure and compare 2016+ brackets it'd be good information to have. Plus might allow people to source for a bit more reasonable price.

    Push Bar - 2016 / 2017 / 2018 Police Interceptor Utility Explorer

    I haven't received my kit yet, but I believe it's very similar, using square brackets that mount to the bumper bracket and come through the bumper. There's some slight difference between the 2015 and down and the 2016 and up, but it's probably only the brackets. I actually got a quote from...

    Push Bar - 2016 / 2017 / 2018 Police Interceptor Utility Explorer

    Yep, the one on eBay now is for the utility interceptor and has all three bars. Wish I had a 16+ and hadn't just bought one at full retail price!

    Push Bar - 2016 / 2017 / 2018 Police Interceptor Utility Explorer

    Just saw a Setina PB400 go on sale on Ebay for 275 shipped also!

    Off-road style wheels in 2011+ Models

    So - I'm in the process of looking for another set of wheels for my 2015 Ex Sport so when I go camping/backpacking/etc and have to take fire roads/etc to get to trail heads I can get a little more tire than what is currently on my 20" stock rims. Unfortunately, I'm having a bear of a time doing...

    LED Headlight Conversions

    I like them, however they do have some bloom in the stock projectors. You can fit them under the stock dust covers, but with the wire tail you pretty much have to cut a slit or leave the bottom portion of the cover not fully tight. I live in southern California so I'm not too concerned about...

    How to: Explorer Sport EB convert to vent to atmosphere with factory blow off valves

    Bumping this thread for curiosity sake. Has anyone installed an aftermarket blow off valve, such as the HKS SSQV or similar for a different sound/pitch? I see turbosmart is actually selling a kit that is specific to the 3.5L ecoboost...

    Aftermarket Gauges - Gauge Pods

    Hi all, I come from a history of boosted cars, starting with a twin turbo 3000gt and have now made my way to a 2015 sport which is actually becoming more of my "hobby" vehicle. I will ultimately be tuning using the Livernois (more than likely) but am also used to having a more persistent way to...

    Ford Raptor Grille for Explorer 2016+

    I have not seen anything. I have some plans to make a modified grill, but need a donor to start with and I haven't looked very hard yet.

    Aftermarket Tail Light Options

    Decided not to wait and installed these in the dark yesterday evening. Install is very simple, although I was a bit of an idiot and forgot to bolt the mounting brackets before fitting the first tailight. Reverse bulb and twist mount worked perfectly, but realize you need to take the rubber...

    Aftermarket Tail Light Options

    Ordered a pair of these earlier this week and will be installing them this weekend. Excited about how they look.

    Thanks - Yep, I'm pretty handy with the search and already used it to do some peeking around. Lots more poking to do.

    LED Headlight Conversions

    Just purchased the Opt7 X and will report back when I receive them. I think there are a handful of users who already have converted to the previous generation (non-X) and have posted pictures. Would love to do a full HID conversion but if I can save $300+ and my time and get a comparable...

    Here we goooo

    Hi all - just joining the forum after picking up a used 2015 Sport in White Platinum, although I've also been sporting a 2011 Ranger XLT for the last 5 years now! Happy to be back in a turbocharged vehicle (my first two cars were turbocharged) and excited to do some work on the car to improve...
