Ford Ranger Install PICS

Post by apco25 »

Here is a friend's 99 Ford Ranger Install as it stands today. Will be adding a UHF spectra and 99ch MVA for the MT1000. What you don't see is the Systems 9000 Siren/PA and VRS system on the back wall.

5 antennas on the roof 3 in use 2 spare. We did the interior install in an evening and made the brackets ourselves after removing the factory ford cupholder thingie.

Are those M brackets for head to DEK? I know Mike B has some part numbers on his site for a couple, but I never seen them before... Looking at that if its M, I don't like it. What's the part number?

Yes its the Motorola bracket for mounting a dek above or below an A5, A4 or A7 Head.

The brackets came with the dek box

that's because the images were posted a year and a half ago. Don't think they're still hosted.

Didn't look at the date, but that would be why they are not there.

Since this picture we added the switch box and side mounted a MACOM M-RK converta-com.

Console is a 12inch Gamber-Johson model meant for the Ford Exporer. We put the mounting tray in front of his 60/40 bench seats so the console is up by the dash instead of betweem the seats.

I guess I'm missing the spot where the gearshift sticks up through all that!
