Whoa nice sunroof too! I want to put in a sat radio in the near future. I heard XM was going out of business? I love my mustang dome light.

The truck looks good. I just wish I could find me one of those SD brake lights.

Red AK Ranger: If he dosen't want the BL would you mind shipping it to me? I am sure it will fit in a large flat rate USPS box and I would pay for it.

Not bad for a JY score. All the JY around here don't have anything that new.

Did you have to do any rewiring for that dome light?
I'm confused because some threads like this one https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...ome-light.html it says all you have to do is unscrew the old and put in the new... but then this thread https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...t-install.html has a whole install guide for it..
can someone clarify this for me?

does the guide only have to do with 04+ rangers?

If you look at the years mentioned 04+ Ranger have to add a wire and 03 and below is just a simple swap. For your 02 all you need to do is unscrew your stock dome light and screw in the Mustang dome light.

I like the sunroof. Any interior pics of it?

Does it just pop up, or does it slide back as well?

Are the cargo light bulbs, the same number, as the third brake light bulb?

My 2003 Ranger has a cab mounted third brake light. It would be great to also have a cargo light. Is there a "factory" part? What have others done?
