Here are my pics for the new truck... Let me know what you think.
These pics are before carpet, and a pre install setup... I have no stock center column, nor do I want one either... TACTICLE!!!

Looks good. Thanks for sharing. So, you're putting the carpet back in, but you are leaving the center console out?

*CobraMountaineer* · 07-17-2009, 08:55 AM

Didn't come with carpet. The center console was trash. I am a guy who likes the communicatios stuff, and no frills. I wish I could post the pics here. I do installs for a living, and love a new challenge. This is a great truck and has lotsa potential. A computer mount and broadband mobile are going in next. Plus a $5,000 in car camera system for police too. So I can record and dump the video for others to see. A really neat system.

Oh yea, the mount that the radios are on is actually the armrest support from my old Explorer.

Pay 20 dollars here to post pics...
I think paying it in proper advice to fellow Explorer nuts is more value. I think I can help out with proper advice on installs and clean wire free rigs than anything. It's my real job, why not give out the advice for free???
