Awesome swaps brother. I have a 98 mazda B4000 and I did the upper and lower center consol mods and changed the full interior black but instead of doing oem explorer seats I did racing seats with Takata racing harnesses. Keep up the good work!
I’ve got a set of 2011 mustang GT Leather power seats that I’m putting in the 95 Ford Ranger picture to the left. I bought it brand new and 95 and I’ve been drag racing it ever since 4 L V-6. Race clutch cobra mustang T5 transmission and a built 8.8 rear custom side exit exhaust all stainless steel piping. 3 inch inlet to chamber Flowmaster with dual 2 1/2 inch outlet stainless steel 4 inch tips exiting the side passenger side that is. Instead of ceramic coated headers 2010 Mustang GT cooling fan from my Mustang lol. BBK 66 mm throttle body performance distributors V6 coil packs with 10 mm performance distributor ignition wires NGK plugs 95 mustang GT fuel injectors 340 L per hour Areomotive fuel pump Just lots and lots of mods. Really good to see the younger generation getting into the mini trucks again. I would really love to see the mini truck scene come back
Really nice video just picked up a 2002 Ranger XLT also maybe thinking about doing this next year definitely would like to see all the things you have done to your truck. And may I ask what kind of rims and tires are you running they look really clean I’m thinking of upgrading my stock ones soon? And may think about getting a front bumper like your and adding a winch and led lights also. And last question does your truck have a lift on it or would you ever think about putting one on.
Hey! Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate the feedback. I hate to do this to you lol but I'm working on a video that will answer all of those questions in detail. Should be out in the next two days. Can you wait that long ? :)
@@DoinitwithDoug Yes I definitely can wait for your next video since the first two were really well put together and answered all my questions for the seats
Id love to see an " Overhead console" mod from the explorers... im trying to get one in my ranger and there is no good videos and its and awesome mod for ranger like ours!!
I didn't really go into that. I'm not actually 100% sure, since I don't have a regular cab. The link in the last video is the closest thing I've found to showing which seats fit. Not sure if that cover Regular cabs. Best of luck. Let me know how it works out.
Therangerstation.com has several lists of compatible seats, along with other interior items one might want to swap into a ranger. Also the attached forum will gladly help if you can’t find the info in the tech resources.
I don’t know if you found a shifter boot yet for it this video is a year old I’ll have to look on your channel. But you can find actual leather shift boots on eBay with whatever color stitching you want to offset the black. Good luck with the truck it really starting to look nice
Let me know if or when your getting a hurst shifter! They are the best for that style console I want one so bad but live in Canada and shipping and usd conversion makes it almost $700 for the kit!
Where do we get these wires I only see one black and white wire, a yellow and white, a gray and yellow, brown and yellow, and blue and white at the end of mine with the same seats
Is all this wiring needed just to make the power seat motors work? I'd love to do this swap on my 2000 ranger but idgaf about the heated seats working I just want the power seat motors to work.
There are a few things about those years of Ranger that make me cringe. 1. The useless 60 40 seats. 2. Lack of power seats. 3. No factory full center console. 4. The underpowered 3.0 six cylinder. 5. The stock steel wheels with chrome'ish snap in decorative exterior that cuts hands and fingers when cleaning. I already have the buckets to replace the 60 40 junk. Am looking for a full console to complete the interior. Good luck with the project. Liked.
Did you keep the connector piece from the explorer that fits into the connector on seat? Did you just cut it from that wiring harness? And those are the wires your using?
Hey man! So in the first video of the series there is a link in the description that helped me a lot figuring out what seats work. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! :)
Just an fyi, seat swaps in a 2010 and 2011 ranger are a lot harder because of the airbag seats. You'll have a light on in the dash and it won't pass inspection
I cant stand the OEM Seats in mine, the seats are at way too big of an incline w/ no Head rest. i have a 2008 ford ranger FX4 Extended Cab, What seats work with my setup. id like to have 6 way Dir pwr / Heat / Lumber. or at least pwr lumber and 6 way Dir Pwr seats with the least modification possible.
Yeah, the lumbar was the selling point for me to do the swap as well. The heat is super nice though. If you look in the description of the first part in the series. there is a link to a website that tells you what fits your truck. Good luck!
@@DoinitwithDoug what was the year of your ranger and what year did you put in yours? I'm just hoping I don't have to do a lot of modification like you did 😉
@@joeh690 The seats were bolt in, I really didn't have to do any modification until I forgot to grab the seat belt brackets for the explorer and because the console wasn't made for a manual (which none of them were). My truck is a 2002 and the seats were a 2000 explorer.
@@DoinitwithDoug 2002 Ford ranger fx4, XLT, sport. ?? so if I have an automatic and get one from an automatic I should have no problems or if I get one from a manual to my automatic ?
@@joeh690 Its an XLT but the submodel makes no difference on the fitment of the seats. They never made full consoles like that for manual rangers or explorer, that's why I had to modify mine so I could still shift LOL If you have an auto, you don't have to cut anything, just bolt it in.
Hey Doug, I myself have a 2004 Ranger XLT 5 speed which I am upgrading, but anyway, I saw another video which a guy did the 40/40 conversion and said he got his shift boot from a "Redline Auto" for something like that. I've copied the link so you can watch it or maybe you already have but figured i would share that info. Maybe you can reach out to him and see exactly where. Here you go! th-cam.com/video/MVRJvqhll90/w-d-xo.html
Amazing job! Looks great!
Thank you for posting more “Classic” Ranger videos! Best of luck with the keeping the mods in check.
Thank you. I appreciate you checking the videos out. :)

sounds like you have a cobra with a ranger body! I'm jealous!
I like the leather seats!?! Did ya swap it with a grand marquis or an Avalon seats?
They are from a 2000 Ford Explorer. Thanks for watching!
Looks great 👍
Good Job Bro!
Thank you so much.

Yeah dude, I am actually thinking about doing that. You have to get one from an explorer without a sunroof.
@@DoinitwithDoug shit. I just bought a used one that is FOR the sun roof.... lol shit why does it have to be without?
I'm trying, But I didn't understand just which seats will fully function in my 95.regural cab
Them seats are beautiful

Very cool
Got my seats in but sadly drivers heated part does not work well. It does not get hot just barely warm. Passenger heated seat works fine.
I would check your voltage to make sure its getting the right volts to the module. Thanks for watching.
Really nice video. Thanks for the interchange info.
Thank you, hope it helped/inspired some people.
Hey man do you know which explorer seats will fit in a 1996 ranger ?
There is a writeup in the description that can you help you man!
I don’t know if you found a shifter boot yet for it this video is a year old I’ll have to look on your channel. But you can find actual leather shift boots on eBay with whatever color stitching you want to offset the black. Good luck with the truck it really starting to look nice
I couldnt find one that was big enough for what I needed.
I would love to have heated seats but I much prefer my cloth seats .
Leather looks nice, but I agree.. cloth is more convenient and comfortable. The heat and lumbar is legit.
Let me know if or when your getting a hurst shifter! They are the best for that style console I want one so bad but live in Canada and shipping and usd conversion makes it almost $700 for the kit!
Thats insane!
Mine didn't come with the full center console cause of the split bench seat it has. Where would I get a center console like that
I got this one out of a ford explorer.
What did you end up doing for the boot? Would love to see it
Honestly, I am having a custom one made because I couldn't find any big enough that would work. LOL
Yep I'm doing this
Did you do it? Did you do it with doug? lol
Did you have to add extra wire at all? If so what gage?
I did not have to add any wire.
How did you mount the ranger seat belt buckle to the seat?
The buckles were already attached to the seat when I got them.
Nice job! Wondering how must that set of seats cost you? I assume you grabbed them from a scrapyard?
A guy on facebook marketplace. $150
Where do we get these wires I only see one black and white wire, a yellow and white, a gray and yellow, brown and yellow, and blue and white at the end of mine with the same seats
I think it depends on what options where on the truck you pulled it from.
What fuse plug thing did you get? I can't seem to find one that can go up to 30 amp. Only see the 10amp ones from oreillys.

Please respond. Did you have to trim the console at all? Getting me a set tomorrow
Sorry for the late reply, hope you got the console in.
Would you be interested in selling your current bumper?
Maybe. I do like it though. It would have to worth my wild. Sorry. Thanks for watching.

Is all this wiring needed just to make the power seat motors work? I'd love to do this swap on my 2000 ranger but idgaf about the heated seats working I just want the power seat motors to work.
No, only some are for the power seats.

All so true!
Im currently trying to do this wiring to my Mazda but cant figure out where your getting those wires from on the driver seat
Did you keep the connector piece from the explorer that fits into the connector on seat? Did you just cut it from that wiring harness? And those are the wires your using?
I cut the wires from the explorer to give myself the flexibility.
What are those seats and center console out of? Can't stand my stock cup holder and arm rest. I drive an hour to work one way everyday.
1999 ford explorer.
Hey what year center console from the explorer fits?
There is a link in the description that says all the years that fit.
Can you put a explorer 1993 seat to a ranger 1994
In the decription there is a write up about which model seats fit well into your ranger. You can pretty much make any seat work with some fab skills.
I have a 2011 xlt super cab how did you know what seats would interchange? I’m looking to swap mine out

Which one’s fit in the ranger 2000
In the description of the video there is a list of seats that fit.
I think those seats would fit in the smaller 2 door
Also how much did you pay
Probaby right. There is a write up in the description that says what they will fit. I paid $150.
how much better comfort wise are the new seats ?
A pretty decent change in the comfort department.
Do you have the up and down on the seat?
I do.
I cant stand the OEM Seats in mine, the seats are at way too big of an incline w/ no Head rest.

Sure does! makes these nice -10 degree Colorado mornings a little easier. :)
