Overhead Console (OHC) Installation
Heres a couple shots of the new mounts Hella Lights and Herculined Siding.
Well i got around to installing the overhead console and noticed the cloth was lifting from the OHC.
I decided to re-wrap it, beside it wasn't an exact match to my interior.
Lets get started stripping it down.
I took a trip the fabric store, boy was that a hoot! I found some fake rubbery leather material that was perfect.
Also Picked up some headliner spray glue from Autozone.
Basically sprayed the area i wanted to glue the material and the material its self and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Now for the installation, this was about as nerve racking as cutting holes in the hood for the hood vents. Measures a ton of times and used chalk to keep me lined up. I also put the two screw in up front, that helped a lot. I'll post measurements later. I have to make a run back to the junkyard to get the wiring harness.
I'll post some more installation photos when i get the harness here in a few days.
I should be getting my Karnage winch bumper within the week!

My build plan has about the same specs as yours. I'm trying to decide on wheels and your looks great. What backspacing are you running 3.75" or 4.5"?

Well i finally got around converting the 2000 overhead console wiring harness to fit my 98 plugins.
At first i got the two black and white wires mixed up and nothing work, switched and i was relieved.
I also got my IronMan track bar so there will be an install write up for that as well.
