Double din radio install?

I have a double din radio to install and I am having trouble finding a kit to install one in the 99-03 models, all I have found are for single din radios. Is a install kit even necessary since the factory one is a double din already?

Your local stereo shop or Crutchfield will have these.

Factory radio isn't a double DIN before '05 but it's real close, you'll have to trim the top and bottom of the opening a tad
The Metra 95-5817 Dash Kit kit Crutchfield sells it pretty simple to install

The 99-03s use a double din adapter for a normal deck but if you want the touchscreen stuff they also sell that dinnadapter too. When your ordered a stereo and speakers they give you the adapters and wireharness free.

Used them on 4 vehicles so far and flawless. From my 99 f250- wife’s 09 Subaru etc

I can be done as others have said, I wanted a double DIN but did not want too cut up on my dash, and couldn't afford the installation so went single DIN and did it myself.
