One like this Bill, I have had this one for a long time and never install it.
It has led lights already wired in under the black lexan. I don't have the lights to go in the holes that the reason I have not installed it.

And not that I don't wanna change subjects buuut heres some pics of my overhead console for Bill. Mine goes clear back to the back glass and has courtesy lights in it. My truck also has fancy lights running above the doors and in the console and such so that's what all the switches are for. The door on the front in front of the switches flips down and that's where the fuzz buster is. The hole in the very back is where another courtesy light is supposed to be. Enjoy!

Hey guys, quick question: Iv found some lube I may need and Im wondering if itll work. Im looking for rear end oil. Theres a guy selling some 85-140 gear oil for the price of shipping. Seems like a pretty good deal. I believe our trucks call for 75-140 though?

10-4, Ill pass on it then. I doubt going from 75 to 85 would matter but Im not putting non-synthetic in it if it calls for synthetic.

Ugh I hope this post makes us jump to a new page. Im tired of looking at fat chicks! Lol!

Do you use all their products, like engine oil and tranny fluid and such? It all seems like pretty good stuff. Hows their prices? It doesn't say on the page

Yeah I'm about 95% sure, some of them have a tag that says "SYNTHETIC OIL ONLY"

And yes those girls are giving me the creeps. lol

Alex, I cant remembered if I asked or not, but where is the nearest Shaeffer's dealer to us?

Did some more wheeling and dealing last night, the Nissan will be Gone Firday, traded it for my new winter beater, a 90 Ranger. Actually a pretty nice truck. Freshly painted box, paint on the rest is ok, rust is minimal for 24 years old, got the 4.0 in it. Gonna part the explorer out, some parts will work in the ranger. But I'm still looking to do that console mod in my truck at some point. Just glad I get to park the CC for the winter for sure now! Don't have to worry about that salt touching her.
