That looks nice, I'd love to get one for my '98 as well. But I'm 6'1" and I dunno if I can spare the extra headroom. Not to mention the hard labor it would take to install it and run the wiring.

I've got one on my 03, actually the first one that was posted. Honestly, I never use it. My truck is too tall to fit in my garage so I don't keep my garage door opener in it, just sun glasses. There isn't a lot of storage in them either, at least on the smaller one you posted.

I'll try to snap a pic once I get my camera back, it's at my mother in laws, we forgot it there on Halloween.

I'm 6' even, but even at 6'1 or 6'2, I can't imagine this getting in the way at all.

agreed headroom isn't an issue, i have almost a foot+ of space inbetween my head and the roof...

probably going for the 2nd one.. but have to get dimensions

I've got a 97 and I really wish I had an overhead (and a expy center console)...my current storage space is kind of lacking. The painted one looks really good!

i'm planning on getting a moonroof installed, and thus, the overhead console will be coming out and be replaced with moonroof controls. first one to reply will be sent mine if they are willing to pay shipping.
