    For Sale 5th Gen Amerihood - Functional Ram Air

    Hey, Thanks! I got the grille off of Ebay, just look up your year Raptor grille, it will pop up! The OEM one is a bit of a pain to get off but easy to put back on.

    For Sale 5th Gen Amerihood - Functional Ram Air

    Hey All, I recently traded in my Ex so I have the Amerihood Functional Ram Air hood up for grabs. Ideally, local pick up would be great, its a freight ship so Im not totally interested in arranging that. The hood is not painted, gel coated but does have a wrap on it. Easily take that off and...

    My 2016 Explorer Sport - Project Wanderlust

    Same.. I almost convinced him to sell them to me but at one point to continue to develop them but he for some reason stopped responding. Hasn't replied since and I haven't seen him post it on IG in a long time so I think he did end up selling it.

    My stereo is possessed-changes channels randomly

    I think you have the same Sony system that I have, i think... Mine did this, where it would change things randomly so I installed an update and it fixed it. Hasn't had an issue since. Reset might work too.

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    I put that same bumper guard on mine and it does nothing to protect the edge which is where most of the stuff hits lol Looks cool tho!

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    I keep mine in that same area. Ive got a short compact one that fits right in there.

    New exhaust and Stereo install on my 2014

    Nice work on the stereo install. Interesting exhaust color. Which mufflers did you use? Do you get any flutter at idle without baffled tips?

    Is it possible to recalibrate the Explorer transmission to the same settings as the PIU transmission?

    Ive heard guys with the NA motor get pretty close to stock sport feel in the ol' butt dyno on the Livernois tune.

    Is it possible to recalibrate the Explorer transmission to the same settings as the PIU transmission?

    I think your best bet would be to pick up a pedal commander. Though I am sure someone out there knows how to program it.

    Cutting fenders

    Well, you wont find any suspension lifts other than the spacer lifts you read about.. There are no other lift options. I run a 17inch wheel with a 4 inch backspace on 265/70r17 all terrain tires. I had mud tires for a while but they are just too heavy. I have the Traxda spacer lift. I had to...

    Help on base stereo upgrade

    HA, I missed that part about where you installed it lol Yeah, they are super high priced. Its a good spot to consider your next custom box tho IMO.

    Help on base stereo upgrade

    Nicely done! There is a nice JL Audio stealth box that goes in that area.. Its for a 10 inch but it hits hard from what I've heard. As for your battery code, how old is your battery? With the new added components, might want to consider upgrading it.

    Help Me - Losing my mind!! Sony Headunit Bezel Cracked

    I dont know for sure but based on what I can tell, it looks like there might be a difference between, "with or without" the Sony System. I didn't realize you could get the big screen without the Sony system. I cant say for sure but seems like you are on the right path.. Crazy how within just a...

    Help Me - Losing my mind!! Sony Headunit Bezel Cracked

    Im not totally sure but as with most newer models, most swapping parts isn't going to be easy. Ford makes small changes that make things not compatible.. In this case, I have a feeling you will run into a wiring harness issue. Again, Im not totally sure and I haven't seen anyone do this swap but...

    Mods for wife's 2014 Explorer

    Peter posted up some good ones that others have done custom work to. Any aftermarket one for the 2011-2015 that I have seen, aren't all that cool.. The cool ones are the ones the guys that have posted here that have done some custom work. But that involves baking, separating, and tapping in...

    Tow Package for 2019 Limited - 4WD

    I haven't read that anyone actually did it, granted I could have missed that post but if you do, hopefully we can get an update on how it all went?

    Tow Package for 2019 Limited - 4WD

    Exactly. It just ends up being too costly money and other factors, you know? So, for me anyway.. I stick to bike racks and a single motorcycle trailer just to be safe.

    5th Gen Explorer Photo Thread

    My Dad picked up a Ranger and bought these LED grille insert lights to be similar to the raptor grille not knowing he could get one, found out he could and gave me the bracket with the LED's. The bracket wouldnt work with this grille so I drilled out the holes and inserted the LEDs, I tapped...
