Edge center console ??s

[PHAL23]

I am wanting to cut my 60 seat on my 05 Regular cab edge and put an explorer center console. Will it work on my truck or only the older ones?

 

[doyouquaxu]

it will work on yours.

 

[PHAL23]

Alright thanks man, i might be able to get one for 25 so i figured id see if it fit

 

[Hooligan]

That's a good deal! Get it!

I do have a 5 speed so ill have to cut the one part right?

 

[Pbav8tor]

Yes It will work. You will have cut the front piece for the shifter and will need a new boot. Check it out.

 

[PHAL23]

Thats exactly how i want it. I know for a fact i wont be able to cut it that good.

The one i found is a tad different its out of an 03 expo

Post a pic of it, they'll tell ya what you need to do

 

[PHAL23]

Its a tad bit different as you can see

I have seen them in person. I believe for that one, you will have to chop it. I saw one person install this and he had to chop and piece it back together in order for it to work. If you get it just measure and cut, well and make sure it come with the mounting brackets. Those are pretty wide so you may have a tight squeeze between the seats

Ill just forget that one then and head out to a Upull it and find one of the other easier ones, especially having the 5 spd

 

[Hooligan]

I think thats a wise choice. If You never pulled one before, take pics while taking it apart so you can remember how to re-install it and you dont have left over parts lol

 

[PHAL23]

Good suggestion. Got some big projects ahead with center console and Body lift

 

[Hooligan]

Cool man I got your hookup for other mods if you can't find things like ohc and auto dims

 

[PHAL23]

Sounds good. Might let you know about a ohc a little later on

 

[Hooligan]

Ok, you know where to find me!

Keep in mind.... some reg cab seats aren't easily 40/40 moddable. I say this because 98-03 and possibly into '05 seat backs are more like a full bench.....no center console. So the center chunk is tall.

Post up a pic of your existing seats please.

On the seats... On my '03, the tracks unbolt AND if you get another passenger side seat, the 40 part of the 60/40, you can bolt the driver's track back on and have a set of bucket seats.

The pans under the seats have holes on both side and will work on either side of the truck.

The 60 part of the 60/40 has a frame that unbolted so there is no cutting and fixing of the seat covers.

The cntr console needs to come off first, then the back of the seat, then the frame and track can be remove.

Also, IMHO, the shorty center console is the way to go, easier all the way around.
