I started thinking the other day about placing a F-150 overhead console in my truck. the curve and everything would fit a lot better. so i started to work on it Saturday and ran into a few problems, like the new sensor didn't work. so i just pulled the sensor card out of the explorer ohc that i had in and put into the f-150 ohc. painted it and put in and it works and it looks much better than the old ohc. i will post pics soon. but is this a first for rangers or was i beat to the punch?

 

well why talk about it if you aint got any pics?

 

sweet, get pics!

how did you get a sig pic?

trouble ahead

 

i saw it yesterday it looks ok may need to replace the head liner but looks damn sweet he just went to get pics

 

new pics posted

 

Very Nice!

 

I see there was a problem where the stock dome light was. That is why the photo is sticking out of it, correct?

Looks good man, maybe you can find a way to cover it up without getting a whole new headliner.

 

Yeah what he said, how you geta sig pic?

 

that does look good......have you got the info center hooked up?

 

He used a OWned picture from the smilie menu. You can use Ranger forums smilies in your sig, but you cannot use an exterior link.

 

and yes the info center works. it's the same circuit card from the explorer ohc i just swaped them

 

So.. no dome light anymore?

 

no the dome light still has about 6-8 inches behind it. it fits good and everything. the curve on this ohc is a lot less and so it mates up to the headliner much better. i don't need the dome light because my truck has the door ajar problem and the light will stay on for a while so i'm just leaving it disconnected for now.

 

I haven't seen and F-1fitty OHC in a Ranger.It looks good, but I think it looks a little to big.

 

so it does fit? whats with the photo? it looks like it hangs down lower then the headliner right were the photo is....

 

it fits, there's still like nearly a foot of room between the end of the ohc to my dome light. it is bigger than an explorer ohc but not by a whole lot. it is a lot wider though. and the mounting bracket is a lot different. but after carefull consideration and planning i tried it and it all fits snug up against the headliner with no issues. the only bad part was the computer in the F-150 console was fried so i took the one out of the explorer ohc that i had been using. perfect fit

 

and the difference between them is that the f150 has a second storage area, lacks the lights. dose it still have the compass?

 

yes no lights but two storage compartments. and everything works the same exact way as before.

 

i should try this.....had 3 pairs of Oakley's screwed up by either throwing them in the pass. seat and g/f sitting her pretty little *** on them or tossing them on the dash and watching them shoot out the pass window when i hung a left turn.....i tried to catch them. either catch them or take out a friggin bus stop bench. i had to go back and pick them up out of the gutter.

 

That is a good idea. That is where I put my XM receiver. I can post pics if you guys want.
