Title: Ya think a 97-01 Xj Center console will work in my 88 Xj?
Post by: sparx on 06/ 7/09 - 04:34AM

No cup holders on those long road trips sucks! I was wondering if the newer Xj console (shifter end and e brake handle) will fit in my 88, then i would have cup holders and not have to search around for my moutain dew while driving.

it will fit. you will have to change the bracket for the E Brake handle. it sits a little close to the driver's seat. Have you looked at after market cup holders? I know Quadratec has some.

Thats awsome! I looked and only saw some cheap ones that set above the E brake, but i will look again.

See if you console has these 3 mounting points and you might beable to find this cupholder.

that might explain the holes drilled in the side of the console when i bought it. So i mounted my CB there! Thanks for the idea tho
