ohhh shaddddddup



just need to get an actual lid, (since i made my own)

i found the hinge for it at the junkyard. but couldnt find a lid.

so ill be staying on the lookout. for now its a piece of wood cut to shape, with some padding on top wrapped in black fabric lol

it works for now.

better pics tomorrow in the daylight.

 

oh i see how it is, once i post pics, noooobody says anything! hahaha

 

Dude, come on bro, whats with the ***** drink in the console...?

 

its all we had at my buddies house. and after about 5 or so i started getting a little buzzed

plus, don't deny it. they taste good. idgaf what people say hahaha

 

about time.. only a week late haha

 

lol i bought it a week ago. and finally had the time off to make a lid today. lol

but i really need a real lid. not this one i made. it sucks. but its super padded, and it'll work for now. lol

 

would this lid fit on mine??
i cant tell which one i need off ebay..

 

No it won't that looks like it's out of an '02+ Explorer. Ebay has console lids. I like that console with the different cubbies. I haven't seen many, if any of those in Rangers.

 

the one that i have?

and yeah, i love how it looks. and it matches perfectly. the silver inset piece with the cup holders matches the center bezel perfectly on the dash. and i was able to drill some holes in the bottom of the front cubby, and mount my CB on there. you cant really see it in the pic, but you can barely see the fitting for the mic on the front of the CB in the pic.

and could you help me out with which one on ebay i need to look for. because i can't tell. they never show pics of the bottom of them.

what year 4 door explorers were these consoles on? and then they were on the sports and sport tracs too? what years? lol

 

You need a lid from '98-01. Can you post a better picture of the console, focusing toward the armrest?

95-01 FORD EXPLORER CONSOLE LID ARM REST GREY ARMREST:eBay Motors (item 250453360620 end time Jul-03-09 2327 PDT)

From what i can see You need on like these.

 

its this console
minus the nice buttons in the front lol


and dang, they had this console back on the 95? lol

 

Ya the links I posted are what you want, just go on ebay and type in explorer console lid and find one for '98-01 and find it in your color and badda bing badda boom you'll have what ya need.

 

i don't even care about the color lol
chances are i'll need to get it re-upholstered anyways

 

That'll work out better for you then, just get the cheapest one you can find, just make sure everything underneath is in good condition(the screws and plastic). I bought one form a member on here that wasn't completely honest about the condition of a lid. The leather was good, but everything else was junk. I spent $40 and couldn't even use the dang thing.

 

damn thats messed up

yeah ill try and find one as cheapas possible. thanks for the help man

 

No problem. Ya, I PM'd him about it as soon as I saw it and he said I said the leather was in good condition, I never said anything about the plastic. I was more than a little pissed. Good luck with the hunt.

 

also, where could i get some good weatherstripping at?

when i lined it up to drill the holes for the bracket the front of the console was right up against the dash. just like it should be. but after i put it all together it ended up with about a 1/2" gap between the stripping thats already on the front of the console. so basically, im not taking this ****er back apart lol. i need some thick black weatherstripping or something to close that gap. where should i look for some?

 

I would imagine you could get it from any auto parts store. I'd probably start with Napa for something like that.
