xjrev10 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I plan to NOT use carpet or vinyl floor in my truck for now.. But.... The mini console doesn't fit very nice w/o it....my plan was for the time being was to cut up a old black floor mat to use for now. Maybe someday I'll get carpet. I just see it as a unnecessary expense right now. What have YOU done? Truck has spray in bedliner floor.
Strokermjcomanche Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 How about trimming the console with some weatherstripping to act as a gasket?
neohic Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 How about trimming the console with some weatherstripping to act as a gasket? I like that idea and I thought about it with my old '89 Eliminator... ended up just leaving it with a giant gap because I didn't want to deal with it. Haven't looked at what's in there for a while, but you think there's any way to lower the mounts for the console?
xjrev10 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Probably should have stated but I have a black mini console. There will be no modifications to the console itself.... Weatherstripping idea may work.. It's about 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch gap.
Tommy Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I had a big rubber mat from a pizza hut in an old full size Chevy. Didn't like it. I like the weather stripping idea.
Eagle Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Truck has spray in bedliner floor. That's what I did in the trail truck. But I don't have a center console.
xjrev10 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 I haven't looked I to this yet due to working every day for the last week.... Heater hose? Black of course.
xjrev10 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Well the weatherstripping idea worked. I was able to find a certain type that worked great. No it's not a perfect fit, but it's 100 times better then the cousole just floating there. Still sticks up a little but on the drivers side... I'm still gonna count it as a successful MJ project. That stuff wasn't cheap tho.. $17 for 4 feet.
JurassicJeep24 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 That turned out great. Definitely going to do that when the time comes.
neohic Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 That looks great!... should've painted the t-case shifter mount black though. :peek:
Blue88Comanche Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 That looks amazing! this is added to my things to do list now :cheers:
xjrev10 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 That looks great!... should've painted the t-case shifter mount black though. :peek: It's gotta come back off anyway. I'll be doing that then.
88whitemanche Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I'm liking the idea...this wouldve worked when I didn't have vinyl...it would move with every shift...
