I have fully adjustable rear camber arms. Is this a common issue or does this tech need to go back to alignment school?
did you elongate the holes with a dremmel with the template the camber kit came with? that should give you more clearance on the camber side.

Yes. Fully elongated and the cam bolts rotate a full 360 degrees.

The part I don't understand is that I could only get the same camber settings before I did the toe bolts.

I think it's time to try another shop.

Mine fitted perfect without any modifications. Had a hard time getting the top right oem **** off, but after pulling on it for a while it came off

Very nice looking Explorer! I'd be curious to know how you guys like it. My wife wants to purchase a "dog hauler" and is actually looking at the Explorer Sport along with the LR Discovery Sport and the new MX9

Do you mean CX9? We drove it. Loved the styling, interior and size, but the engine felt under powered and there was a LOT of road noise. Runner up for us was a MDX with the tech package and AWD.

So far, so good with the Explorer. We both really like how ford executed the black trim on the white. Fun fact: only the white gets black door handles, the other colors get chrome.

It's reasonably fun to drive. The steering is heavily weighted, the suspension is firm without being harsh--not an easy combination with 20" wheels--and the twin turbo V6 has plenty of hustle. The SYNC is intuitive, and there are some redundant buttons so you don't have to always use the touch screen for simple stuff like adjusting the temperature or fan speed. I love the cooled seats.

I think I've got wifey 80% on board with getting a tune for it

Installed an eBay BMW parking brake handle and e90 boot from RedlineGoods to match my CF steering wheel:

Obviously, not a direct swap. I had to bore out some of the plastic inside the handle and then shave down parts of the OEM parking brake in order to fit the handle. It was a gamble buying parts for another car with no idea of fitment, but it worked out in the end.

Nice job there^^^ Just the right amount of CF to go w/ your wheel, and looks like a quality piece.

Finally upgraded my Nokya yellow halogen fog bulbs. Got some 3s yellow LEDs, makes my yellow bulbs look like stock halogen.

Well you can do what a large number around here do~just leave it off and hope you don't get a ticket, that way at least you leave your bumper unharmed
There's also the zip-tie method~

It's not the front plate it's the rear. I did end up using zip ties but I'm going to install my sub soon and need a better way or its going to rattle like crazy
