Figured I'd bring my build log on my 01 explorer over here from the audio forums. Right now it's sort of in one piece, but I swap things out quite often in it. Currently working on the suspension and should have some updates eventually. Hopefully someone finds some of the stuff I've done to it cool/over the top. Note: Not setup to look as pretty or professional as the Malibu, as I realized after building that what a PITA it is to swap things in and out once everything is pretty. There will probably be a lot of sarcasm in this log from me, so feel free to join in. Figured I'd bring my build log over from Ca/caco/smd/MAF and add all the updates considering I haven't done any updating in a while, so here goez nothing: In the...

Hey everybody, I had a little spare time yesterday, so I took a few snapshots of my kick ass Explorer! Please post any comments or questions that you might have!

Because I am a girl, people will think I am weird, but here we go..So i decided it was time for my hood to be painted because its badly peeling and cracking paint on the hood. ANd this was just a little experiment with john deer farm green spray paint that you paint your farm equipment with. It came out better than I had expected in the long run. I did a really great job with it. but the next time i spray it, I have to go down to the metal. Before I painted it, I washed the hood, then sanded it down. then took a blower and blew all the stuff off the hood and windshield. I did get some over spray paint on the window, but its nothing gas wont take off. so you can see in the pictures what it looked like before. The after pics are dark, so...
