Anyone know if a 97+ center console would fit in a '91 XJ? 2 cup holders would be nice lol

Yeah man i have. if my photo bucket was not down i would should you pictures.


to do it you need the new e brake, the new AC/HEAT vent that runs under the consul, you also need the little plastics to go with it and the light that lights ups the shifter(s).

I recommend getting long 1/4" nuts and bolts (about 4 nuts and 2 bolts 3" long or so)

take you old center consul out, drill the old mounting bracket (metal tabs) out to fit the 1/4" bolts. place them in and bolt them tight to old brackets. dab some bright paint on the ends of them. Place the center consul how it is suppose to be then insert the consul's plastic insert. THe bright colored paint will leave marks on the bottom of the insert. Drill holes there to so the bolts can fit thru.

replace the E-Brake assembly then put everything back. Using some washers and nuts mount the plastic insert making sure the bolts go thru the holes you drilled and then bolt it all down.

You will have a gap between the dash and the consul. You take some ABD plastic and make a cover if you would like.

any more info PM me and i can help you out
