Center console down to floor.

The project took two weekends to complete. Got the lumbar support working this weekend. The seats are much more supportive than the stock vinyl bench. I also hacked a 3mm stereo output jack into the stock tape deck and I will be wiring an output jack into the center console for my Mp3 player. I am also going to find some exploder double sun visors and a map light assembly. That will top off the package quite nicely I think.:D
 
looks good man i need some explorer seats like that
 
Looks good, like it was made for it.
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone. It was a bit of work getting everything set up but well worth the effort. Now after a long trip I don't have to wait 3 minutes to be able to straighten my back out to walk:bawling:. Those stock vinyl seat were really killing my back.
 
What did you have to do to mount the Explorer Seats in the Std Cab ?

I looked at some and it get a little confusing ?

do you have any pics of what was in the Ranger vs what was in the explorer ?

Thanks
 
I had to remove the tracks from the explorer seats because they will not fit the floor pan in my 99. Then I had to remove the tracks from my original seats and drill out 6 rivets to remove the seat back pivot bracket and the seat cushion mounting tabs. I also had to drill two new holes in the original track on the upper portion (part the seat bolts to) so I could mount the seat to the track. Figuring the process out was hellish at best. The first seat (passenger side) took about 6 hours to figure out the process and what needed to be done, the drivers side took about an hour and a half. I am pleased with the result and would recommend the swap to anyone because most stock Ranger seats really suck.
 
Thoughts are brewing in my melon..................:clapping:

You didn't happen to snap pictures of how you mounted the tracks to the exploder seats did you?
