Interior upgrade

Hey all. I decided to swap my 60/40 bench seat to buckets with an explorer center console. I went down to the junkyard and came back with my new seats and console. I think it turned out great.

Looks like its supposed to be there! I wanna do that. I'm glad to see that there's plenty of clearance between the shifter and the console, I haven't really seen any good pics of it finished like yours. I plan on cutting the drivers seat extra part I have now off and putting the console in. Did you have to drill holes in the floor for the bolts?

 

[lil'_big_truck]

Thanks. I think so too. yeah you have to drill six holes. but its not a big deal. I just drilled pilot holes and then used self tapping screws.

When you drill the holes do you go all they way through the floor?

 

[lil'_big_truck]

the pilot holes? yeah. the screws were slightly bigger so they make the hole a little bigger when they screw in making it a tight fit

Ok cool. I just wanna make sure I do it right when I get it. Thanks!

 

[lil'_big_truck]

The 94 I had for a few months had a center console and it was a little loose. When I tried tightening the screws, they stripped out. I used a bigger size and snugged them down and it wasn't too bad then.

When I installed a center console in my 95 2WD I used bolts, nuts, washers and lock washers. That's what I would recommend...

Where did you get your seat covers? They look pretty good.
