Big White went to the beach - 2015 - 2000 Ford Explorer with Saleen XP8 Parts

[MuscleJunkie]

I usually post over at the other Explorer, Saleen and JLA Forums but since I found some great posts here decided to share my latest.

This is my 2000 Explorer Limited (aka Big White) that I've been working on for the past year or so.

Purchased this truck back in 2014 and since have:

Added Saleen Carbon Fiber Hood and Wing/Spoiler from XP8 2000-0023 (painted to match Pearl White Metallic)

Added Saleen Speedline 1908 18 X 8.5 Magnesium Rims from XP8 1998-0022 with Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus 255/55 18 109V Tires (Rims Powder Coated)

Lowered 2 inches to Saleen Spec with 2" Saleen Lowering Blocks, Saleen Rear Swaybar (both powder coated Racecraft Red), Torsion Twist in the front and Bilstein 4600 Shocks in the front and third shock in the rear

Airbox Swiss Cheese Mod with K&N Panel Filter

SCT Tuner X4 Tuner with 93 Octane Out of the Box Tune

Kenwood DDX9902S Double Din Unit with Apple Carplay, Android Auto and Front and Rear Controls integration

Here are some recent photos from a trip to the beach.

Cool. I've always thought a lowered Explorer would look good.

Thanks. Handling is night and day difference too!

Very clean truck. Done much to the engine?

What beach is that? It is very smooth. Most of ours in eastern NC are not that smooth. You almost always see front spoilers laying on the beach that were torn off .

Thanks. Not yet on the engine but looking to potentially do a 400-500hp package. Currently researching options and intend to keep factory AWD somehow.

Beach is OBX at Corolla.
