Thanks, Its a typical OBS! Saggy bumper! Getting one this summer hopefully.


Try shimming the top of the bumper mount. It may do the trick for you. I shimmed mine because I can't stand it being off. And it's spot on but neither was it that bad before I shimmed it.

I know it's missing the rear step.

Don't forget the broken windshield mod

Don't worry. I plan on getting a new windshield put in within the next few weeks. I didn't even hit a thing. Moisture got between the laminate and cracked the inside layer of glass. Its the original glass, but I wasn't pleased when it happened.

Zero offense taken by your comment brad. The broken windshield irks me to no end. But it will be fixed.

As for the wheel its all plug and play. The wheel and and clock spring all went in like they belonged there. The wiring just took some time comparing the schematics between the explorer and f250. Then I spliced everything in. Everything except the radio controls works right now. I'm waiting to get an axxis radio control box to interface with my aftermarket hu.

I did the same mod in mine. Used an expo clock spring and an F250 SD wheel. That axxis radio box worked well for me. I love having steering wheel controls! But I just cant stomach EATC in my truck. To fancy for this guy
