I really always thought this was a bad and dangerous idea until I found the one on my 99 expo. Same looking module as the ranger. It was on a mounting plate under the passenger kick panel. The "forward" arrow was there pointing forward duh. So I'm thinking the module can be mounted vertically as long as the arrow is pointing forward and it is bolted firmly to the body.

I know the normal people are going to start chiming in and say NOOOOOOOOO but can anyone find (I looked) an article that says the ranger one was specifically designed for horizontal mount and the expo one is designed for vertical mount? They have different part numbers of course but the same connectors and the same large arrow that needs to point forward.

The reason is to eliminate the hump in the carpet going under the vent so it looks better without a cup holder that I don't need. There are 2 studs coming out of the framework for the right kick panel I'm going to check the expo tomorrow and see if those are the studs the RCM is attached to.
