cbrant Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hey all, I tried searching, and I know at one point I saw it mentioned, but I could not find the correct post. I have gone full King Mierdas in the last week and sh*t on every project I've touched, so I'm making extra sure on this one. For you guys that have installed a long 97+ center console, did you cut the front of it to fit up to the black diffuser thing, or did you remove the black diffuser thing, if that's even possible? It almost fits as is, but needs about another inch forward. Thanks for whatever help you can offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 You can cut the console, the black thing is just held on by two screws. The other option would be to set up the air duct. I just bent the console around the defuser but might cut it to fit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without going out and investigating, what do you mean by "set up the airduct"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 There's a duct that runs under the console, it has a different defuser and will duct air to the rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 This is the piece jdog is talking about. I actually like having heat pumped behind the seats because it evens the temperature in the cab out much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzimm Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I believe I have an extra one, I'll have to check the stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzimm Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I'm pretty sure I've got one, if I find it you can have it. I did a full 97+ swap in the blue truck so my dash is from a 97+ XJ also so no cutting was necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 If you run the duct you will need the bottom piece of the heater box. Will see if I have one out to show you. I also enjoyed having the duct running to the rear and will be setting it back up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
