    Anyone tired Morimoto LED fogs? Not bulbs but entire assembly.

    Thanx. Got any pics pics of output on the road or against the wall? Either way looks like it's getting on my "to-buy" list.

    HIDs vs LEDs 5th generation explorer

    Check these out: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/complete-headlight-fog-light-housings/morimoto-xb-led-fog-lights-ford-cars.html#.VotWQDYmTdk I've yet to see them in person but reviews on other makes are all great (look around the site, a lot of Honda/Subaru and other brands have reviews on...

    Anyone tired Morimoto LED fogs? Not bulbs but entire assembly.

    Seems like it could be a perfect solution for those who want to match look of their xenon headlights and fog lights without going with HID kit. I'd also assume (based on Morimoto's reputation) that these assemblies are a LOT better vs just plugging some leds in your oem fog housing. Link...

    Time for tires

    100% agree and I knew that all along. I lived and Russia enough to know why you have to have winter tires during winter. Literally everyone had a set of winters for whatever car they drove. In New York City thou winter tires aren't really nessesary - there's not much snow to begin with and...

    Time for tires

    There are 2 groups of people that should be repeatedly punched in the throat. 1. Hankook for making such a pos tire and 2. Ford for actually using them on an Explorer. Not all Hankooks are bad, I'm talking specifically about H426 used as oem tire on our Explorers. Just see reviews on Tirerack...

    '15 Explorer Halogen Projector Beam

    I just noticed you are in BK. If you are close to Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Midwood, Sheepshead Bay areas we can just meet up and check light lines side-by-side.

    What is this ugly HOOK?

    My friend had a break down on the side of a highway a few weeks ago so I got to pull him for almost 40 miles thru highways, bridges/tolls and city streets. What an experience that was lol. Anyways..... I used that hook to pull him with, did the job just fine but 1 question arose - why not...

    Nitto NT421Qs vs Yokohama Parada Spec-X

    I know it's not what your choice is but also might wanna consider Michelin Premier LTX for wet weather. Supposably absolute favorite in wet weather according to reviews on TireRack (check their test video) and other sites. Costco has them at cheapest price as it is plus $70 off when u buy all...

    Rattles Driving me CRAZY (Solved)

    Rear right door rattles like crazy overtime it's closed. It's like there's something inside the door that moves freely. Never took it apart, never had it fixed, no mods...grrrr!

    2011 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD. Noise in the front wheel.

    Same issue here on my 14 XLT. Wild Valley, do u have a part number for that strut? I'm assuming it was replaced under warranty?

    Rear view/back-up camera in 2014 is different from 2008 ?

    I had 2008 XLT for 6 months as a lease transfer. Now I drive my own 2014 XLT. About the same packages and features, 14 has more little things from the factory like light bulb in the truck area, cut out hole for cables, etc..... but it's really the same car. One thing I noticed differs a LOT...

    Can "power lift gate" be switched off to "manual"?

    Either that or permanently re-done to work as a manual? I carry lots of different size boxes in my trunk (work related) and often a few boxes come out just a hair more than sensor allows for and I'm having hard time closing the gate. If it was manual I could just easily press down on the box...

    OK, So What Do You DISLIKE About The 5th Gen?

    Am I the only one who goes nuts with fog light/interior light switch?? It's done opposite of what logic would tell you: interior lights are on top and fog lights are all the way on the bottom. So by logic (mine at least) if you have an area that consists of 2 switches - one for fogs and...

    I got locked out of the car...while it was on with key in ignition

    Looks like I accidentally touched pad keys. I guess... At least that's the only thing that makes sense based on info here. Thanks guys!

    I got locked out of the car...while it was on with key in ignition

    So I'm having difficulties getting out of a snowed in parking space (never again FWD for any SUV). I get out of the car, get my shovel, move some snow around, get back in the car 4-5 mins later and find myself locked out of the car. All 4 doors are locked, so is my trunk. Engine is on, music...

    Has anyone got the Cargo Security Shade?

    If you didn't throw it away I'd love to pick it up and try it out for myself.

    JL Audio Stealthbox

    Adding aftermarket sub in oem enclosure? I own an XLT without a sub but can get Limited's sub and trim panel that with it (one with sub grill instead of a "pocket") So instead of no sub I can have - OEM enclosure, OEM look, aftermarket mono amp and either aftermarket or oem subwoofer...

    OEM parts that are interchangeable from one trim to another?

    Well, just got Limited's kick panels which have a nice aluminum looking "EXPLORER" cover instead of black plastic one on my XLT. It's SMALL things like that :) Also - Limited I saw has a really cool blue interior light (NOT led swap on the headliner) - door handles, cup holders...

    Noob questions - lights and seats

    Just got 2012 XLT a few days ago, still getting familiar with this car. 2 simple questions answer to which seems to be "no" but I'll ask anyways just to make sure. Car manual didn't even mention anything about it. 1. Can I disable interior lights from turning on when doors are open? Every...

    OEM parts that are interchangeable from one trim to another?

    Great links peterK9, thanx! MY car is 2012 XLT with 205A with dual moonroof and 20 chrome rims added. Can't say I'm too excited about those chrome rims but they will do for now. I got this car via swap-a-lease and will only have it for 6 months (unless I decide to buy it out) so no huge mods...
