Just add Explorer Seats and Center Console

This weekend I put in some Explorer leather seats and a center console. Also did a lot of wiring to power everything. I do not really post here, but I have read so much helpful information on this forum, I just wanted to post this and maybe some else can get ideas from it. I don't know how to post pics here, but there are pics and a feeble attempt at a write up on my Car Domain site (page 2) http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2376157/1

The whole thing took about 10 hours and I'm sure I over planned everything, but it all works and I love the new seats and console. In a coulpe of weeks I'm going to hack up my headliner and inststall an OHC and auto dimming mirror.

Yea, its a tight squeeze, the drivers seats rubs a bit against the trim peice that holds the seats belts in the wall of the truck, but other than that its good.

Wow! Great job on the whole install. Looks like it came that way from the factory.
Very, very clean install.
