13104.01 Page 2 of 3 4/3/2013
NOTE: When installing the console it is important to make sure that there is no interference with both the
transmission and transfer case shift levers. Move console around until a position is found that allows the operation
of these levers with no contact during use. If your vehicle is equipped with a fold and tumble rear seat also check
for proper function of seat with minimum contact to the back of console. Seat should stay in upright position when
folded forward. (Figures 5 –6)
NOTE: This console has been designed to be used in a stock Jeep application. Some fitment issues may arise if
installed in a vehicle that has been modified with a body lift, different transmission, different transfer case, and
different aftermarket seats. It is the owner’s responsibility to modify these products if fitment issues arise. If
vehicle is equipped with a body lift the transmission and transfer case shift levers may need to be bent to allow for
proper fitment of console.
WARNING! Before you proceed to the next step, make sure that there is nothing under the vehicle that
will be damaged by the drill bit when drilling.
WARNING! Console must be secured and tightened down before driving. Injury may result if not properly
mounted.
5. Remove the Security Floor Console, cut holes in the carpet where the marks are and drill a 5/16” hole on each
marked spot (Figure 4). Use touch up paint or silicone sealant (not included) in any drilled holes to prevent
rusting.
NOTE: If you are not installing a stereo proceed to Step 12.
NOTE: If a stereo is to be mounted in the console, an antenna extension wire will be required and is available at
most stereo equipment stores.
6. Run all required stereo and speaker wires to the console mounting location. Rugged Ridge recommends
running wires in a protective wire loom and using rubber grommets when passing through any drilled holes.
7. Insert stereo into the front of the Security Console. Follow stereo manufactures instructions (Figure 7).
