Well work with many new vehicles everyday. There is a lot of great stuff that I would love to have in my Bronco. Stuff like auto-dim rearview mirror, overhead console, center console, power heated seats, steering wheel, ect...

Anywho, heres some things I want to change this summer:

Headliner with overhead console.. how easy would it be to take a new vehicle headliner, cut it and fit it to the bronco? I would like to have an overhead console for sunglasses and such.

Power heated seats..would like to get black leather heated/cooled seats out of an LTZ Chevy Suburban.. anyone know how the cooling function works on those seats?

Center console.. anyone use one out of another truck that fits well, and looks good?

How hard would it be to take a steering wheel out of a ford escape 2010 model, and slap that into my 89? Not sure on how those work....

I know as far as the overhead console,the later model xlt and eddie bauer had one as an option with a digital compass and thermometer,light,and sunglass holder.The later steering wheel would be kind of difficult because of the clockspring or contacts in the stock column to later steering wheel.

Alot of that stuff is also run by various control modules programmed to run with each other. Some of these newer vehicles have up to 10 different computers, all tied together, to run all the fancy stuff they come up with. But hey, if you can find a way to make some of that stuff for older cars, I would patent it before someone else does.
Almost anything can be fixed with a little know how, a case of beer, a roll of gorilla tape, and a really BIG hammer.

96 XLT 5.0, 3" single exhaust with flowmaster, WARN premium locking hubs,305/70/16 BFG All Terrains,3" body lift, 8.8 with Ford racing trac-lok, fast-trac soft-top, 170amp Alternator from Summit, a few rattles, couple squeaks, some dents, buncha crap I dont really need, but think is cool.

Like Broncogirl911 said, you can get most of that from a 95 Eddie Bower. I did it to my 83. You can take the headliner with it or just cut the proper sized hole in the one you have. You will need the wire harness, (as much of as you can) and the temperature sensor up front. Remove the inside window trim for running the wires. There are wiring diagrams online. When I get back home, I'll try to remember to find some more information for you.

Good luck,
