84-96 center counsole issue
One of the many reasons as to why I hate how cheap the 84-96 interiors are; has to be the broken lid on my center counsole. It's been this way since I bought the '96 from it's previous owner and I'm tired of it falling off whenever I bump it.
Is there anyone on here who has an idea on how to reattach the lid to the hinges on the center counsole? Let me know!

grab a new console from a junk yard.
obviously someone heavy used it to prop himself up on his elbow.
same thing in my dakota when i bought it. it had a piece of 2x6 until i just recently grabbed a new arm rest lid from the junk yard for 5 bux.

Mine was broke in my 93' from being slammed shut all the time, If I remember right it got slightly larger screws glued in...it was a farm jeep so it didn't need anything fancy, but seems like it worked out ok.

I got the whole center console the week before - $15 (missing the arm rest)
and i just came from the JY bout an hour ago, for a new arm rest - $5
the hinge area was broke so i hot glued and bigger screwed it in place
then painted it all flat black with some krylon plastic spray paint - cant tell its not brand new... except now the rest of my jeep looks out of place on the interior, so i might pull the dash and start painting..
Still, not a bad investment over all

.I'll probably swap my center counsole out for one from a 97-01 XJ because the interiors in those are nicer.
