It uses the Checker tape track to lift and lower the window. Its very simple, but simple to break as well.

yeah that is true. I just thought of something I might be tackling this weekend. I might cut out the XL in my dash trim and adding a piece of lexan and a Led bulb behind it to the dash lights. just for a little touch of light over there.

I dont think i will be cutting up my truck anytime soon though. I dont have a garage so my luck it would rain once i remove the window lol

I've thought about that. There is a mounting tab right behind it. :/

yeah, my current one on my dash is broken already so might as well see what i can do
Im sure adding some led strip lights behind the trim alone would make it pop more too giving it the glow effect.
then again I'm not much for extra lighting however ive seen some of those led etched glass displays and thought it would be cool to add one if I could ever get my hands on a sand blaster. just tossing ideas out there. Seems like a good thread to do so.
I alredy painted my trip and door panels red to bring the red inside. I was tired of the gray and black.

The two ham radios get traded out tomorrow for one listen/talk anywhere radio with a remote head unit and the actual radio behind the seat so I can clean things up some. Everything else is factory in the cab, well, factory made such as my sliding rear window that I bought for $16. I want to paint or bed line the truck as the body is 99% straight with zero rust and that's higher up on the list than electric windows and door locks, maybe.........if I look at one more pic of your truck, I might hit the salvage yard tomorrow. I did a 4 way dome light in my former '94 xcab from an aerostar van (I think). Salvage yard find. I just want a dome light that I can turn off with the doors open. I love the mods without overkill. More factory Caddy than Autozone Caddy if you know what I mean. I think you were Eddy Bower Edition before Eddie Bower was cool. Lol
Can you post some pics of where your hams are mounted? Going for my license on the 26th, just looking for ideas...

The 2950 is already gone. The keying circuit is screwed. The Kenwood comes out tomorrow weather pending. I've got a Yaesu FT857 all mode going in. All I have to do is mount the face plate mounting bracket and the radio will go behind the seat. I only operate voice, so I'll be adding a 6m antenna and probably replacing the 2m with a dual band 2/70. I had my cb in the truck, but there's literally nobody on there around here anymore so I took it out. I was doing allot of DX on 10m 'til the Ranger took a dump. I look forward to getting back on 10m with the new to me rig tomorrow. Let me know when you get your ticket and your call. Good luck. You'll pass it I'm sure.

Ever look into that EL light stuff? It may give you the glow you want.

This would be cool for an interior dash emblem...

I might have to think about this for my grill. Have to be careful. This is technically illegal here. No red or blue lights facing forward.

Here's you a laser etched doomaflaugee (dumafloji) lol. Put an led under it and it would be cool. These were made to sit on an led base.
