Seems like a direct swap, I'm curious to see if anyone has done this.

i would doubt it's going to be a "direct swap"... considering they SHOULD (in my mind at least) have almost completely different wiring harnesses....

Can double-din units even fit in the stock Ranger opening?

Jay the "round" dashes(94/95+) can take a double DIN HU, they just need a little trimming.

just pick up a dremel and a mounting kit and it takes less than 30 mins if you already know how to install a head unit, if you have a 95+

heres mine

thanks, im going to pick up an explorer radio bezel so those holes on the right side would be filled with buttons.

now i want the double din in the link above, that one looks sweet but i love having a hard drive built into the head unit in case i dont have my ipod. Does that ebay double din come with with the gps antenna?

It's a cheap chineese made and sold radio. Don't touch that and buy brand names like Kenwood, Pioneer, Alpine, Clairon etc.
