Still waiting on our Edge to get to Korea. When it gets here, Ill be working on a short list of things to do:

 

1. Tint the windows

2. Headlight DRL update

3. Additional LED mod (possibly never seen before on this forum)

 

Shipping company says our Edge is still in Houston. Hopefully it is just outdated information and is closer to Korea. We have been without it for 3 months now!

According to the weather forecast it looks like rain turning to snow by Tuesday. With that in mind (and waking up this morning at 3 AM for no given reason) I decided to get the winter prep project completed.

 

Installed the Weathertech mats and rear cargo liner.

Removed the 20" chrome clad wheels and Pirelli tires. Cleaned them up and put them in the storage closet.

Installed the 17" snow tires previously mounted on an extra set of wheels. Inflated them to 37 PSI.

Planned on resetting the TPMS (that's the reason for the extra 2 pounds of air in the tires) but so far the system handled the swap OK.

On Monday I'll swing by the tire shop and have them check the torque of the lug nuts.

 

Glad you started this thread. It's an interesting read. :clapping:

Trust me, I drove a LOT in Central and Southern IL back in the day. I do understand. Even with the HIDs on high beam, my wife nearly had a fit because she could not see the lines on the road clearly at night.

 

I actually showed the LED bar to the wife and she gave the green light for getting the bar. I am contemplating the 18" or the 11" VisionX XMitter Prime with 40 degree LEDs. However, the demo had a yellow lens cover but that did not diminish the light output.

Just checked AEM's website and found that filter. Also looked around some other forums and searched "AEM vs K&N". On the pro side of the equation the OEM air box fitment is a big plus. I'd be curious about how it works out over the next year.

 

No point washing the Edge today. Snow will fall throughout the day and temperatures are single digit.

On the Air filter topic, just that think about it, the same stock filter is also used for the 3.5 EcoBoost engine in the MKS, SHO, Flex, MKT & Explorer Sport which definitely takes in a lot more air than any of the Edge's engines, so I'd be more inclined that there won't be any real benefit from changing the filter to an aftermarket one.
