Great instructional video. Given the weakness of the dash plastic where you removed the factory spring nuts I would recommend adding a rectangular backing plate to each mounting machine screw in order to spread the pressure out along the entire vertical surface of where the hub contacts the dash on each end. This would better support the media hub and minimize the chance of breakage.
Imagine bumping the hub with your knees and the fragile old plastic breaks and down comes the whole hub with wires and all. Surprised the hub doesn't come with a bracket to properly secure it, not even washers.
😂😂😂...Currently gluing my Glove box side tabs back to said Glove box...My "Hulk Smash" hands broke 'em tryna get to Windshield Wiper speed control module....
I wish someone would come up with a cupholder that you could pull out of that ashtray. I hate that stock one that is in my 94 F150. When I have somebody sitting in the middle They have to put their legs over my cups.
I think we see why your finger had to be bandaged. That's a bad place behind the ash tray to do anything. And we see that you had lots of help there -- baby helper. :D Too cute.
@@TheMinuteMasters I'm always more interested in what's going on in the background. And she did help secure the USB adapter with those pliers, y'know. I know you're loving the daddy job. Of course, one of the perks is she can kiss the boo-boo and make it all better.
Which color did you order? It looks like you have the Opal Grey interior, but the media hub looks like a dark grey. Just seeing if it matches the dash color or would be better to order something that won't match.
@@TheMinuteMasters thanks! I think it looks good. I ended up going with black because it looks more in place than trying to hide it with the same trim color.
Yeah i started watching then remembered I need to keep my ashtray, gotta put that change somewhere.
I transferred it to the cup holder. Lol

Good tip!🤙
amazing that you didn't break that plastic removing the clips. mine are already broken from the previous owner
I know right! I thought for sure I’d break them, especially since there were already hair line cracks.

@@tonydominguez007 looks like they sell a reinforcement/repair bracket for the ashtray on OBS interiors
Nice video buddy good job Stevie 😊
Thank you Francisco!🤙
@@TheMinuteMasters You’re welcome buddy

Ah! That’s the worst! Granted at this age, the plastic in these trucks can be very brittle.
@@TheMinuteMasters ...You right... Was totally not thinkin' ' bout that when I did it...
My ashtray just falls out every time I press the gas😂😂
Hahaha
The switches on the truck #jmrrebuilders obs f150 coyote swap are really cool looking. Would go well on that media box.
I’ll have to look that up!

100% this needs to be made. I hate the cup holder interfering with the middle seat.
@@TheMinuteMasters oh, and BTW. I did my coil spring towers. While I was at it, I put on new springs and new shocks. Thanks for the video.
@@rustybarrr Nice! That’s a good one to do when you are doing suspension work.
You’re welcome!🤙

Yup! I did cut myself during this project. Screw driver slipped.😑
She was helping! You might be the first to comment about her in the background.

I opted for the black because I’m slowing turning my interior black.

What is this media hub?
It gives you a flat surface for mounting switches, CB radio, gauges, USB ports, etc.
What kind of Ford doesn't have a 45 in the glove box. This must be a OLD video.
The new Jury Decided a Double Barrel shotgun at Home is all you need , and China agreed ; for now.
When are you going to pick up a short bed 4x4 to do videos with.
I wish! I’m going to convert my truck to 4x4🤙
I love it,dude. I just order it
Nice!🤙
