Thanks. I got it out of an early 90s first gen S15 Jimmy, but I think they where the same through all the years, I got the short one, the long one has 2 more map lights at the rear. The install? Fairly easy, wiring was the hard part since I also added the switches for my interior neon and my driving lights, but I do make my own harnesses when doing wiring so it was easier. Now all I got to do is make the maps turn on using the switches. And keep the compartments from rattling and find a clear lens for the dome. If you plan on doing it just PM or IM me and I'll give you a hand. BTW, I love it, and I just cranked the torsion bars yesterday.

I love your truck. I don't really care for the Blazer OHC though. I can't see tainting a good Ranger with a GM product. I don't really like it when people mix GM and Ford stuff. But, I love the rest of your truck man. Great job.

lol, I usually don't mix brands... But I didn't really like the look of the explorer console for what I intended since I needed more space for my switches, and more light. Right now though, I'm looking for a way to mount my spare because I plan on getting another DC Crusher and an Alcoa so I have a real spare. I cant decide what though.

Not sure how bright they will be at night, but should be enough. I'll let y'all know in the next couple days.

Lights work great.




And my LED 3rd brake light mod:
