Thumbs up Explorer STREET

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



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

My Web page with my complete Build up is here
www.explorerstreet.com


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 Polyurethane bushing and end links. 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 heavier 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 chopped 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 cover. 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 Components, RF 800.2 for sub, 600.4 for components, 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 panels:


Good shot of the Dynamat:


Here is the sub in the stealth box:


Rear components with grill off:


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


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

This Site Looks great!
