Fourliter Dan's CB/ LED gauge install
 

Today Dan came over and we installed his CB Radio, and put LED lights in his cluster.

Dan Figuring out the final mounting of the radio itself.

We put this damn thing in and out about 5 times cause stuff kept getting caught, and we lost a socket down in the void of the Ranger Dash. (which we found after while out on the gravel roads.)

While Dan was cleaning up behind his gauges, and putting the interior back together, I re-positioned the CB antenna to the side of the box so it could open all the way.

After we finished, we went out for a spin on the local gravel roads.

What I did not get a picture of was the external speaker position, and the final mounting position, due to some metal needing some extra persuasion that we did not have the tools for in the back end of my schools parking lot. I also do not have pictures of the Gauges. Dan should upload those later tonight.

Re: Fourliter Dan's CB/ LED gauge install
 

hahaha, there was a lot of "WORK WHORE!" "Son of a BITCH!" "C'mon you little fucker...." and various other phrases resembling those.

Re: Fourliter Dan's CB/ LED gauge install
 

Very nice! How is your radio mounted. I have my cb bolted to my ash try and it refuses to stay in.... Everytime I hit a bump it falls out. Also what kind of center console is that?

Re: Fourliter Dan's CB/ LED gauge install
 

Dans is a small uniden in the console itself, very out of the way. I had a cobra mounted on the headliner

THIS IS NOT DANS CB MOUNT

IIRC, it was all electronic... Maybe i'm wrong.

Re: Fourliter Dan's CB/ LED gauge install
 

Alright thanks... BTW is that a explorer center console?

Re: Fourliter Dan's CB/ LED gauge install
 

Yes it is. That was something he put in earlier this week that he doesnt have a whole lot of pictures of. Lemme see if I can get the pic he sent me of him modding his chair.

Re: Fourliter Dan's CB/ LED gauge install

Re: Fourliter Dan's CB/ LED gauge install
 

Stu there's little clips on each side of that little piece that if you just squeeze them the gear selector piece slides right out.

Re: Fourliter Dan's CB/ LED gauge install
 

IDK. Dan is the one that took that apart haha. Mine was a manual, so I didnt have to deal with it.
