Wow, that looks great. I like what you did with the tinting on all the light, especially the headlights and the tail lights. I like the tail light tint that just covers the white area. Where did you get all of these tints? Were they precut or did you have to make them yourself. I did a lot of searching on the internet and cannot find those cut like that. Thanks.

Thing 1 and Thing 2.

Rare sighting! The top 2 World-Record holding 5th Gen Ford Explorers together in one place!

Was great hanging with the homie, Forrest Folmsbee.

Looks awesome! What wheel/tire setup did you go with?

I bought mine last week. 2016 Explorer Limited 4WD in Blue Jeans metallic, has every factory option except adaptive cruise control.

Welcome to the Forum Brian.
What is the mileage on it? Looks very nice.

I ordered both the red plastic inserts, and the vinyl decal versions, but decided to use the plastic insert version, mainly because it seemed to be a little easier to do a peel-and-stick method for these complicated letter shapes. Installation was pretty easy.

Hey there, I know this post is 2 years old, but the black on your tailgate...did that come with the ride or was that a mod you made?

High mileage for the year, but it was a well maintained one-owner creampuff with tons of features. After researching this platform thoroughl, I negotiated a good deal on this one and got an extended warranty to cover it until it’s past 200k. That coverage has already paid to replace my entire A/C system and the water pump, gonna be picking it up from the shop later this week in fact. PTU is fine and just recently got fresh fluid along with changing the engine oil, coolant, transmission and RDU fluids.

The pic used by CarMax vs. what I've done since purchasing. More changes to come.

Does the added front bumper not interfere with the Adaptive Cruise Control or Forward Collision Warning system? It appears to be mounted directly in front of that radar system.

Fortunately it has no effect on the adaptive cruise control, but I do have to turn off the forward collision warning every time I start the engine. I will be having more electronics installed, so at that point I'll look into having that permanently disconnected.

Looks fantastic! How intense is the install of the brush guard?

Thanks! I got really lucky on the install. This particular push bumper lined up pretty much perfectly with the cutouts in the Sport grill. It's such a good fit that it looks custom.

Interesting chrome delete on this one.
