Recently I have been thinking of adding a over head console ( like the on in the pic), but I really would like to know what it would take to mount it and run wires to the map lights. If anyone has had experience with this, feel free to share any info you have.
You have to cut a small square hole in your headliner at the back of the console. There are a couple of slots in the roof that two tabs on the back of the console fit into. You may also need to cut a small hole at the front of the console in order to clear the back of the map lights. Slip the console into the slots at the back, push the front up into position and install the one screw that holds it in from the front.
If the wires are there then just plug and play. If not, run your wires under the headliner and down the a-pillar to the fuse box. Find a "hot" source and tap in.
I am pretty certain for a reg cab there is a brace that goes under the headliner for the overhead console. The Extended cabs already have this.

Also, I have a off set in the center of the cab that come's down about a 1/2" and is around 8" to 10" wide. Does this mean I have the brace I need? Thanks again for all the information.
Awesome :head: Thanks a lot I really appreciate it :shake:
