2000 Ford Explorer 5.0 v8 Mods & More - 2nd Gen 95-01 - The Xploder!

An overview of the Xploder... a #modified 2000 Ford #Explorer 5.0 v8 AWD #projectcar... This is a quick rundown of many of the things I've done over the years! Check out the z1lla shop on my website at https://www.z1lla.com/shop :D There are a lot more products coming soon so check back often! Thank you! I have a couple different cars that I tinker with in my garage and driveway but none that I still own have I had as long as my 2000 Ford Explorer 5.0 v8 AWD SUV.. the XPLODER :D I've had this car for over 10 years and have tinkered with it on and off almost the entire time. At one point I was running an STS style remote mounted turbo setup but currently it is NA but still has a number of unique features, such as... a Meziere electric water pump, a custom Frankenstein style Ford Contour dual electric fan conversion, Torque Monster headers with EGR and cat delete, full custom exhaust, projector HID headlights, and a million other random things! I often use this car as a learning point for things like suspension installs before I work on my other cars :D I am in the process of learning to tune vehicles and plan to re-tune this car so hopefully I don't end up blowing her up! lol. I have a 60+ page "build" thread over at the explorer forum (https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/) at https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/... which details a long painful slow process of learning and trial and error, haha!
