2nd Gen Bronco II Center Console

[Steeda04SVT]

Anybody know where to find parts for the center consoles for the 2nd Gen B2's? Trying to restore my interior and one of the parts I need that I'm having trouble finding. Thanks for any info.

What part is it? I can only think of about 5 parts that make up the center console. I got my armrest and an explorer style double cup holder for my BII in a junkyard.

Towards the back end of it I can see where there is a part broken and it looks like this part right here which I'm gonna order...

But what attaches to the top part of that assembly?

Armrest.

Yeah I just looked on ebay for them and unfortunately they don't have any gray ones.

Your best bet will be a junkyard, you'll get the armrest and bracket already together, and mine cost 4 or 5 bucks. Take a flat screwdriver to pry the bolt covers off, and a 5/16" socket for the 4 bolts. I like to lean on my armrest pretty hard, so to keep it from breaking again, I made a block out of some wood and dense packing foam, covered it with black duct tape, and stuck it to the lid of the console. Now when you lean on the arm rest, it puts the weight on the whole console, not just the little bracket.

+1 I wouldn't waste the money on Ebay, You can junkyard all the pieces you want for dirt cheap. Probably about the cost of shipping for ebay stuff. lol

Only problem with that is that the nearest junkyard that has the B2's is either Abilene, TX or Albuquerque. I'm stationed in a small town where half of the town is closed down. So either way it's a 2-3 hr drive.

Does anybody have a picture of the center console so I know how it's supposed to look like?

I am pretty sure the console is the same in early explorers, if those are more available in the wreckers.
