They didn't make Bronco consoles in gray - mocha only, because they were only offered in Eddie Bauers. And the Bronco console only had compass, thermometer, & map lights. For average mileage, etc., you'd have to add whatever sensors the Explorer/Mountaineer Expedition/Navigator used. Either way, you'll be custom-wiring it if you don't already have one, and pickups DON'T.

Oh. I was talking about '87-96 trucks because that's the forum we're in, and you didn't mention that you were looking at later ones. You'd still be custom-wiring it, and fitting it to the contour of your roof.

Nope - the only '96 or earlier fullsize with an overhead console were '94-96 Eddie Bauer Broncos, and this is what they have:

Hey Steve, would that fit in my 90 bronco? Im wanting a console like that to install, without all of the electronical stuff. Whenever i get my light bar and KC lights, i want an OH console like that to intall the switches into. Will it fit, i dont want the electrical stuff.

Most of that console is electronic, and they're VERY rare & expensive, so even though it's made to fit your roofline, it's not the console for you.

You'd be better off building your own, sort of like what I did. Click my signature and look thru the photo album of my Bronco. You'll see the console I made from 2 pieces of 24ga steel and some Wal-Mart duck canvas to hold my CB & scanner.
