interior mods

[BakerEdition]

I bought this Expo from the Redwood City Police Department with 77K on it in February 2011 for $6300.00...it was a dare vehicle but their maintenance program was fantastic...I even called the city garage and gave them the vin # and they gave me the history...anyway...Police package on these are pretty bare bones....so out came the rubber floor and new carpet and pad...got me a used center console, painted it to match and redone the vinyl on the armrest along with some mods and some seats from a 2001 conversion van...it came out pretty nice...any thoughts?

I like the seats and the 120v plugs. What are you using as a power converter?

Yeah, Got a 500 watt inverter that tucked in real nice in the back of the console when you remove the cup holders..recharges the laptop, cell phone, etc..I can plug my wireless printer in as well...small vacume...got keep it clean..LOL

Yeah the laptop mount is a ************* I payed 50.00 buck for off ebay...get what you pay for...need to spend about 150.00 to get a good one...but this works for now...use an app I downloaded to my Android phone called PDAnet and I hook a USB cable from the phone to the laptop and have wifi in the truck..

Yeah had it with t-mobile....had to pay 15.00 per month extra and YES ate the battery up...went to sprint and the rep told me to go to the browser and download the app PDAnet onto my phone...and the pair it to the laptop and works great...no extra charges and it dont kill the battery.

could just "jail break" it. its not called jail breaking since thats for apple. but its the same difference. and you can get it for free.

you dot worry about it getting hot in there?

getting hot

Well see I thought about that when I masterminded this hole plan...since i put new carpet and pad down I took the liberty of taking a plastic molded channel and spliced it into the A/C duct that runs under my driver seat to under the center console....so either the A/C is on or I can use the vents....
