I put almost that exact console in my 94 reg cab and all I did was to set the shifter in the 4th gear position and I just sheet metal screwed it in place with some washers to ``firm it up``. Hope that helps.

some wood, and some fiberglass matting and resin? or just wood and paint it.... depends what kind of tools you have availible. can you cut the bottom of the front of the console? or is it too thin up front?

You should be able to just metal screw it to the floor...I am thinking of doing the same thing with a similar console and there is nothing below that area that you're going to hurt by drilling a couple of holes and putting in some screws...or you could use bolts in the event that you might be crawling around or feeling around there some day and cut yourself on the screw tip...I usually file them off just in case...

hey yall see that was the oraginal plan to just screw it down but from the bottom of the console to the floor is like 6 inches thats why i have the old console holding it up i like that wood idea i am thinking about talking my carpet out and putting that paint in bedliner in there as so then i might beable to make a wood stand to screw to the floor and screw the console to that thanks again for all the replies

I swapped explorer buckets in my ranger today along with the console and it took about an hour. I had to disassemble the console though. I just used self tapping screws to hold it down. Maybe you can find a good used explorer console at a local scrapyard...
