in my quest to clean up my interior from cludder, time to experiment with something new.

im picking this up


and looking to do this with it




its from a 1st gen explorer.

this is what my current overhead looks like

not including the scanguage2 which looks like this


the GPS unit is probably gonna stay where it is, or move a bit but will remain on the outside probably.

since im gonna have to remove my headliner anyways to install my GPS antenna (drilled into the rooftop)
then ill install this at the same time, and reinforce it while its out, then put it all back inside the car. looking at the distance then ill be able to use the existing overhead from the new overhead to replace the overhead OEM lights already installed.

this is the antenna i have on order

 

Looks good man.

 

by theory it does...i hope it will fit the way i want it to. guess ill find out when i get the item

 

True,goodluck with it.

 

there gave ya some greens.

 

playboy radio huh

 

I like that "by theory it does" sounds like theres a lacking of confidence there!!! LOL I have the same thing about a project I am doing this weekend!! Well man I do have faith in you, you did really good with the ricer fog lights you installed!!! LOL JK about the ricer fogs! But serious on the install, nice and clean...Im sure this new project youll do fine....keep positive man

 

thanks...i feel confident on doing the work in a clean matter....im just worried about it not fitting up there too well. thats all. but im sure ill figure something out to gitter dunn right

 

Yes and remember you can always modify the case it sits in, take it appart and just make sure you can make it smaller and whatnot, I usta work in a car stereo place and Ive seen them do many weird thing to make shit fit, so before you give up if something is pissing you off and ya cant figure it out, make sure you post a pic 1st and see if anyone has any ideas , Ill also try and help you the best I can over the net

 

cool shit...mainly im just worried about it not fitting btween the sun visors. the other stuff should be a big deal...dremel tools own plasic
