Hey Loud Ranger, I just installed the exact same seats in my '98. In fact I finished the install last night. Overall it was not bad, but thee Explorer seats are not an exact bolt in, at least on my truck I had to enlarge the front bolt holes on both seats to use the Ranger bolts, and had to fabricate a seat belt anchor for the bars that attach the seat belts to the transmission hump. Did you have the same issues? Also, where did you steal power from? I ran a line from the power didtribution box under the hood through an inline fuse and then through the firewall. After that I ran it down under the sill plate and carpe to each seat. The seats are way more comfortable than the stock ones.

for me it was a direct bolt in, fit perfectly. i left the seatbelt track bolted to the floor only removed the front bolt that kept the seat on the slider bar so i just slid the seat off the track and slid the new ones in. i already had the power cloth buckets so i just had to cut the plug off my old seat and solder onto the wires coming from the new seat and it just plugged right in. i didnt know which wire was which, one was black and one was black with a white stripe so i just used the plug to make sure

i love these seats too, best 125 bucks ive ever spent and took maybe an hour to swap

Did you have to make any modifications to get the double din to fit?

 

[Loud Ranger]

i had to dremel a small part off the top and bottom but it was easy
