    Custom Emblems

    I don't care for the Ford emblem on the front and back. It always stood out to me and detracted from the rest of the vehicle. It does look a little better in black, as some people have done. But the "bubbly" look still just doesn't fit. So I took it upon myself to change the game. I still...

    Methanol Injection

    There's been mention of methanol injection in other posts, but it deserves its own thread, as there's much to discuss. I'm very interested in this mod for my tuned Ex, as I've heard the turbos run very hot. It seems that not only will meth get a good deal more power (40-50+ HP?), but also help...

    Some minor annoyances in the (lack of) quality

    I'm experiencing some small things going wrong with my 2014 Explorer Sport. At only 1 year, and 5700 miles... its a bit disconcerting. It makes me think this car is going to completely fall apart in like 5 years. Wonder if anyone else has seen any of these things, and what they did about them...

    For Sale OEM Sport Springs

    I have a set of practically new stock 5th Gen (2014) Explorer Sport springs for sale. These only have 5,000 miles on them, and have never been under heavy load (never used for towing, offroad, etc). Springs usually outlast a vehicle anyways, so these may as well be new. They should fit any 5th...

    For Sale OEM Ford Blue Oval Badges

    I have two blue oval Ford badges for sale. These were removed from a 2014 Explorer Sport. The back (pictured below) is 7" across, and the front is 9". They are in excellent condition. The adhesive has been fully removed from the back. Would like to sell as a pair, but I'll entertain all offers...

    OEM Factory Ford EXPLORER hood lettering

    I have a set of "EXPLORER" hood letters for sale. These were taken off a 2014 Explorer Sport almost immediately after purchase, so they are in mint / like new condition. These OEM badges retail for $100-$110. Pictures attached (bottom one is back side). Any questions, feel free to ask.

    Auto window rollup

    This: https://instagram.com/p/zLCsRRKNK9 I want! Talked to a number of shops in my area- there seems no easy way to do with the Canbus system in our explorers. But apparently some guys had a module they were featuring at this year's SEMA show that's plug n play with the Canbus. Hopefully this...

    Door Lock Malfunction (and terrible dealer response)

    Recently I've had trouble with the door lock (on the drivers side) not fully coming up / unlocking (when pressing unlock on the key FOB). This happened a couple times, and each time it was particularly cold outside (disclaimer: for southern california, "cold" is 50 degrees ;)). The door will...

    Ghost Shadow Under Door LED Lights

    These go by many various names... but seemingly "Ghost" and/or "Shadow" is always in the title. They install under the door, and shine down as puddle lamps do, but with an image / logo instead of a plain light. Here are ones with a Ford logo: http://amzn.to/1xNhIc6 I've bought some and looking...

    Taillight Tint

    I've undertaken some various vinyl wrapping / tinting projects, and one of the hardest parts is getting precise cutouts / cutlines. The only way to do it properly involves a decent amount of graphics work, and finding a shop with expensive machines to cut it. Furthermore, the initial setup fees...

    Turn Signal Wiring

    I'm trying to tap into the turn signal wires (to run additional lighting). There's 3 wires running into the turn signal, 2 of which appear to continue on to the parking lamp. The wire colors are black, yellow, and blue. Black i'm sure is ground. I've stripped the wires and applied a 12V source...

    Interior Trim Vinyl Wrap

    The light aluminum trim wasn't really doin it for me, so I'm wrapping all these pieces in a carbon fiber patterned vinyl. So far I've done the center console. I'm still trying to figure out if the AC vents and door trim can be removed. It's easier to wrap when you have the pieces off, especially...

    For Sale Sport Wheels & Tires

    Brand new original 20" wheels & tires from a 2014 Ford Explorer Sport (less than 300 miles on them). Perfect for someone who bought another model, but wants the Sport wheels. The Ford dealership actually quoted me $10k to do the upgrade from anything other than the Sport model... which is...

    Massive surging issue

    Hey all, I'm getting some crazy surge-like behavior from my new (~1500 miles) 2014 Explorer Sport. It feels like I'm hitting a rev limiter, and unlike anything I've read about on here. Other surging issues on here seem to deal with loss of power, and usually at a high speed/rpm. This is not...
