97 Ford Crew Cab - The mechanical parts/adaptors are of good quality and not too difficult to install, but the electrical instructions could be improved, and I’d appreciate a hard copy to have under the truck.
To get a clean install, I ended up removing all of the thresholds, upper seat belt mounts, and lower panels except for the driver's side kick panel. Then I removed all of the plastic wire conduit, carefully laid out the wires, and made my plan for drilling, cutting and splicing where needed. The only wires that needed to be extended were the main power and ground. Once I had wiring neatly laid out, spliced and the heat shrink installed, I reinstalled the plastic conduit. I spent 24 hours on the disassembly, wiring, and reassembly, but it turned out nice. A few grommets of various sizes like single wire, ¼” and ½” I.D. will come in useful as well as some baling wire as a wire puller/fish tool.
In the end they turned out great and tucked away nicely, but it took me 30 hours to get them installed. I recommend this adapter kit!
