Mike... Don't have ay experience with the DSW's, but I run my SHO with OEM Primacies the same pressures front and rear at Ford recs.  I do stagger my pickup with rears 5# lower unless loaded.  I would watch the wear pattern closely.

...and where are the pics of the news shoes and socks mounted?  Wanna see.... sig pic is small for my tired old eyes  ;D

Welcome to the aftermarket wheel club Mike!  I run my Primacys at 36 front and back.  I tell myself that extra pound will make the outside treads last a little longer.  I may be fooling myself but, what the heck.

Love them Mike!  :bow: Great change... Wheels look awesome and the whole car looks lower and more aggressive.

Did some mock fitting together of some pieces for the XSport headlight mod project I'm working on. Anyone have any recommendations for where I might find someplace to back and split my headlights, then re-seal them for me when I'm done? Big Box chains? Anywhere local to Grand Rapids, MI?

I've baked them before, but I would rather have someone else do it than deal with the hassle. Splitting and re-sealing is a PITA; the rest is play time!

Thanks Guys!

SHE FINALLY GOT NAMED!

Ok...so it's not a propped name yet...but she accidentally got a nickname today. The girlfriend caught me having a conversation with Sync and the XSport seems to have aquired the handle "Jarvis"...(Ironman ref. if you're not following)

On another positive note; Jarvis 2.0 gets picked up from the dealership today after it's 200mile birthday - alternator, battery, wire harness replacement thanks to a missed nut from Ford on the alternator. Lol

Ordered up a bunch of Plasti-dip, switchback LED front blinkers, and emailed LMS about tunes... Spring is going to awesome!
2017 Explorer Sport - Stock, for now...

SHODYOU

Changed oil, RedLine 5/30 with 500s filter.
Fixed underbody shield as one clip had broken, clip and twist lock thing was like 15$ from Ford.
Finished open BOV mod as rear was a pita. Also cut away the hood gasket that shrouds the air inlet opening.

Cleaned the engine, touched up the paint on the exhaust (after axle pipes are painted flat black, hate seeing dirty gray tails from behind car)
And I Plasti-dipped the little red reflectors in the rear valance. Subtle, but cleaner imo.

I ordered Lamin-x taillight tint too, in the medium-dark shade.


Bad news/good news... installed bare x pipe in place of the magnaflow x muffler I had. It def picked up volume at idle, and stays quiet at cruise. Sounds great.
Bad news is it picked up enough rasp in the 25-2750 range to consider swapping back. Esp under load.
Rest of exhaust consists of stainless works catless dp's and a dynomax axle-back.
Ill prob reinstall the muffled x and go to louder mufflers instead.

 Unexciting. Today I am replacing the cabin air filter and windshield wipers. I use 0EM motorcraft parts and do it once a year.  I had the car hand washed yesterday and I will do a quick vac today.  I still have my winter matS in, so this is not going to be a thorough detail. Boring!
