Had to pay $1017 for our yearly tabs on our '24. I guess the bonus of living in Minnesota!

Just installed Bosch Ikon wiper blades front and rear to replace the OEM ones.

I did the same about 6 months into ownership. The OEMs go bad really quickly!

Installed M&R Automotive Pod lights and Diode Dynamics Fog Lights along with 2025 Expedition Tremor take-offs - 18" Wheels w/ General Grabber A/T that I had powder-coated black and ceramic coated. Have to still position the ditch lights

How difficult was the lower bumper removal for the lights behind the grill?

1. Replaced rear evaporator coil
2. Eliminated stock transmission cooler
3. Installed aftermarket air to liquid transmission cooler with a thermostat.

Is that an Improved Racing thermal bypass unit? I've thought about that myself. Got a parts list of what you did? Like to hear a follow-up on how that setup does for you (warm-up; running temps; etc.).

Yes, it is the 185° improved racing bypass. It has the -10 ports. Transmission stayed at less than 196°F loaded at 13,000 lbs from Florida to Kansas and Kansas to Florida (3200 miles round trip). I was towing a boat and had a rooftop box. Speeds were 75 mph including hills in NW Arkansas. Outside temps were 100°F. It takes about 10 miles to reach 190°F under normal driving. I will do a complete write-up with part list and pictures in the next couple of weeks.
