    Integrated Aftermarket Stereo - Hopefully soon for MFT!

    I was working on finding an upgrade for my wife's stereo for her Camry and ran across this new breed of aftermarket stereos. Kenwood has partnered with iDataLink to create a stereo that interfaces with advanced vehicle control systems (climate, etc.) It's not MFT compatabile yet but given...

    Aftermarket Wheel and Tire Information Thread

    Alright so I thought it would be a good idea to have a one-stop-shop for any information people can share with different wheel and tire sizes. So, if you have done any wheel/tire outside of OEM spec... what are they and what are results? Include all information: If wheels, then: Brand...

    Tow-Mode Button Installation

    Hi All, I had wanted to do this a while back but didn't do the research. Thanks to SoonerSport's digging (shown here: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3266353&postcount=122) I was able to order the correct part. I wanted to have its own thread in the mods section so it was...

    Rear Tailgate / Cargo LED Lamp

    I decided it was a little dark when loading anything in the back at night. I decided to add a bit of lighting. Of course I wanted it to turn on and off when the tailgate is opened. Here are my parts: GE Interlogix 1076C-N (ebay) Optronics BUL-78CB - 6.5" White LED Lamp Normally...

    '13 Sport - Hood Vinyl and DRL's

    Just wanted to share pics of my 2 mods today. Cut out and applied vinyl to hood in center "scoop" area. It's not perfect, and it was a pain... outside my comfort zone... lol. Used matte black 3M automotive vinyl. Also added LED DRLs from here...

    Anyone download Nav destination from Sync or run Vehicle Health Report since update?

    Neither of those services are working for me. The VHR pops up an error screen and says try again later. For Nav destination (from mapquest), sync tells me I have one to download but then fails. Anyone else try these since the MFT update?

    Uses for USB cell stick?

    So, I've done searching and found limited info... Is there any use for the USB cell stick other than turning the Ex into a wifi hotspot? Seems like there could be so much more...

    Coolbulbs All-In-One 6kk HID's (heads and fogs) in my 2013 Explorer Sport Review

    Hi All! I did some product testing for Andrew from coolbulbs.com and have some good and bad news to share. The product I tested was a "SMART All In One HID" ballast-on-bulb package that eliminates the need to mount and wire up a ballast separately. AWESOME CONCEPT. The bad news...

    Air Intake - From Where?

    Alright so call me an idiot if the answer is right in front of me... but... The stock air intake on the Sport... I assume it's the same as other models, but I can't find where the air comes in? I mean, I see the snout form the air box towards the grill, and it looks like air flows through a...

    HELP! Need 12V accessory power

    I am hunting high and low for accessory power, preferably near the center console. I can find 12V all over the place, but not switched. I'm installing aftermarket headrests with monitors and need a power source. The 12V plugs aren't switched, so they won't work. Boo, that would be so easy...

    2013 Explorer - Maxliner Floormat Review -- Pics Added

    I'll be posting pics later, but thought I'd throw a review up for anyone interested. First, the price is hard to beat: $190 for all three rows (cargo area not included but available.) They are custom form fit like WeatherTechs or the Husky Liners. They didn't seem grippy at first when I...

    2013 Sport Painted Exhaust Pipes

    I had this idea then saw in a thread where someone else had done the same. I thought it deserved its own thread so people might see the title and want to swipe the idea. I painted with rustoleum BBQ hi temp paint I also noticed that the spare trunk (that drops below bumper height) was...

    Complete the black band on Sport?

    Can't decide if this looks crazy or cool. Since I tinted my windows, it feels like the ex is calling for the "black band" to be completed... Before: After (very crude drawing): Thoughts?

    Factory Tow Hitch Kit for Gen 5 Explorer c/w Video

    I haven't done this mod yet, but wanted to share what I found in case anyone was interested. You can add a factory trailer hitch after the fact. Now, this doesn't include the oil cooler, but it does include the new bumper pieces so you have the full factory look: Ford Part # BB5Z-19D520-AA...

    Modification tip wanted - Detail paint

    I have an idea for a mod but would like to see if anybody has ideas on how to make it happen. My Sport is Ruby Red. What I'd like to do is take the part on the mirrors where it says "Explorer" and paint the letters red. I was thinking of getting some chip-repair paint and using that, but...

    Navigation card mailed to me?

    Hi Forum! We purchased a '13 Explorer Sport last week with 402A. When I took delivery, the dealer explained that Ford would mail me the Navigation SD card. I'm beginning to think this doesn't seem right. Is that true? Or did your explorer come with the SD card in place for navigation...
