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

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

Here is my Explorer Street:

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 complete Build up is here www.explorerstreet.com

EDIT:

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!

These are my Slotted Rotor's and Performance Pad's from www.ExplorerExpress.com, They help to bring the beast to a stop!

EDIT 3:

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 Super Charger for the 4.O SOHC.

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

EDIT 4:

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:
