Hello there everyone!
Thanks to Clinton, I have my OHC installed; this week Ill be installing the Autodim Mirror (its all set up, even the wires, I just have to connect them).
I followed the OHC install instructions from "mossyoak03" which can be found here:
http://www.fordrangerforum.com/interior-guides/2753-how-over-head-console-install.html
The problem is that on older rangers (mine is a ´96) the mounting plate wont fit like explained on the "how-to", you need to modificate it!
In the picture below, you can see the 2 mounting holes for the screws should be moved. This is, you need to drill 2 new holes near the mounting tabs in order to fit this plate in place.

After you drill those 2 new holes, the rest of the installation is exactly the same as explained on the tutorial (I run the wires of the OHC threw the right A pilar, and the Autodim mirror threw the left A pilar)
Some pictores of them installed;

This is where i mounted the exterior temp. sensor; theres already a hole which has exactly the same diameter as the sensor bracket, will fit stright in!

I think if you have an older Ranger and you want to install this great mod... this is a very important information you should consider... you wont have headaches!!!
Thank you so much to Clinton for sending me these two upgrades... reall a "must-do" mod!!!
