2001 Explorer Street

[Black Magic]

Hello, I just joined and wanted to drop a line here to introduce my self...

My name is Matt, I live in St. Louis, MO.

Here is my Explorer:

I have coustom built this truck myself, started out as a stock O1 Sport. It is 4x4, 4.O S0HC (SuperCharger on the way
from ExplorerExpress.com). :burnout:

My vision is a Factory Sport Truck Look. I want people to look at it and know how different it looks but nothing Guady! I
love it when everyone comes up and say's were can I order an Explorer Street.

My Webpage with my coplete Build up is here [url]www.explorerstreet.com[/URL]


For my O1 Sport 4x4. I lowered the front 3.5"s, the rear 1". Gave it the look I was looking for, Sport not Slammed.

Then Saleen Anti-Away bars front and back. I added Energy Suspension Pollyurathain bushing and endlinks. Made an
even bigger difference than just the sway bars with stock rubber bushings.

Then installed Bilstein Shocks, from Saleen again. These are made for lowered 4-door Explorers. The fit is just right. And
the extra stiffness from being for the heaver 4 door makes them even better for my application.

Now the truck corners like a shopping cart! Very, very, very little sway if any! I love it!

Here is a pic I choped in half to show the lowering of the front:

Here is the Engine bay. I like it clean and simple. I am not a fan of all the colored Lumn. Very soon to be the home of my
Explorer Express.com Super Charger for the 4.O SOHC.

The only flash I have is the Radiator Support plate thingie. I customized that.

For the ICE I have:

Kenwood KVT-910 Indash DVD, Headrest 6.5" screens, PS2, Sirius Radio, Rockford Fosgate 10" HE2, Front and Rear
6.5" RF FNQ Compents, RF 800.2 for sub, 600.4 for compents, 2x 1f caps, all RF Pro Wires, 165 square feet of
Dynamat.

Here is a pic of the screens:

Everything like the amps, and caps are hidden behind the interior pannels:

Good shot of the Dynamat:

Here is the sub in the stealth box:

Rear compents with grill off:

Here you can see how the front compents are mounted now:

Just a couple more:

Tons and tons more pictures can be found at my HOME PAGE

Cool truck. You can charge admission to watch movies.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

No need to be awd. I like the 2wd with switch to 4wd.

Anyone have any sugestions on where I should be posting most of my mods as I work?

Thanks again!

WOW, that truck is really really clean. You did an incredible job. I love it how it actually looks factory, nothing stands out too much, but the overall visual is amazing. Great Job.

Thanks for the compliment. The is the exact look I always want to acheave. I want it to look like a Factory Sport Truck.

As for the track, 16.4 @ 90 was the best time. I can't wait to get the S/C on! I should easly be in the low/mid 15's. :burnout:
