PEEJ Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Is the full console in an XJ the same as the ones that came in the MJs?If not what needs to be done to make one fit an MJ. Thanks
Blood of a Jeep Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Ive played with this in the past. The biggest difference is the black center tray in a cherokee has the e brake hole. Other wise Ive found them to be identical.
HOrnbrod Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 If you use an XJ full console, grab the front air diffuser piece too from the donor XJ when you pull the console. The MJ diffuser w/o a console doesn't work, leaves a gap between the dash and console. You will also have to fab up a plastic plate to block off the rear seat vent tube HVAC outlet.
thejim42 Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 I run my radio aux cord and phone charger cord under the center console and out that ebrake slot in mine to keep it all out of the way
NHMJXJ Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I put a '96 XJ full console in my truck ... only thing I did was notch the front to clear the floor heat vent box.
HOrnbrod Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 It fits better if you use the full console front air box.
NHMJXJ Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I would think with the correct box, notching wouldn't be necessary either. That didn't cross my mind when I harvested the console. I did think to take the seat belt receivers for the buckets, only to discover later that the male end of a '90 MJ won't fit in the female receiver of a '96 XJ. :doh:
PEEJ Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 Thanks guys,I've got the doner XJ,so I should be in good shape.
Steve Gregory Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 There are some mounting brackets in the XJ that you may need to swap over to your MJ too.
