Upgraded to the Steeda strut tower brace and J&L Oil Catch Can

 Minor upgrade IMHO, but looks pretty cool!  I paid the extra $25 to have the Steeda Blue powdercoat, and the swap took about 30 minutes. https://www.steeda.com/steeda-555-5734-explorer-strut-tower-brace

While I was under the hood, I also did the J&L Oil Catch can to keep that oil bypass out of the intake, great cost and worth the trouble - especially with twin turbo vehicles.

 

OEM Strut tower brace, just a stamped piece of aluminum

simple removal - just a ratchet and 4 bolts

you can see the Steeda brace with extra hardware, nice flash of color!

The J&L Oil Catch can took about 15 minutes to install!
