Thanks this was the second try as the first with the home made bracket looked horrible. Now the only question is how will it preform once I get off road hoping it doesn't bounce around to much.

It's not bolted down?

No it's on a saw tooth bracket that grabs the carpet to keep it from sliding. I'm thinking of taking a piece of angle Aluminum and screwing it to the floor then running a bolt through the bracket to hold it.

Update on my Install it works great off road only took it on a few mild runs but doesn't move at all probably because of the radio's weight.

I say almost because I didn't have to hack up dash or build a console, I run a Cobra 148GTL on a tranny hump mount with a mag mount antenna.

Are there any more pictures of first gen explores with radio's? I think I am going to put mine up where the second Gen has the over head console. My reason to put it up high is because I have the big Cobra radio and a 5 speed X. Any thoughts?

Okay not as fancy as most but since I do not smoke I cut out the dash where the ash tray sits and placed my radio there. It shifts fine. I know my shift knob is not on. I also just installed the manual transfer case and am looking for a stock shift knob at the yards.
