I bought and installed a Dirtbound bracket about a year ago. It was less pricey than JCR's, especially with the
discount code. I'm very happy with the end result, i.e., a very stable console. But my experience with the install was a little different than JonnyCat63's experience. Maybe there was just a minor quality control issue with mine.
First, the holes to mount the bracket to my floorboard didn't exactly line up with the factory holes in my '99. Not a big deal. I could have drilled a new hole into the floor for one leg of the bracket, but instead I made it fit by using a ratchet strap (secured to a backseat seat belt) to force one of the back legs into position to get a screw started. As I said, not a big deal.
Second, the slotted holes in the bottom of the storage bin that fits inside the console didn't precisely line up with the nutserts on top of the bracket. I used a Dremel with a cutting bit to lengthen one of the slots in the bin to get the bolt into place. Also not a big deal.
Finally, the two vertical supports on top of the bracket (with the nutserts on top) are about a half inch longer than they ideally should be. So there's now about a half inch gap between the console and the carpet on the floor, and the very minimal weight of the console is basically supported by the four screws that secure the storage bin to the console. Also not a big deal, but the next time I have the console out I plan to cut off a half inch of the vertical supports and weld them back together to make the whole unit even more stable than it is and to ensure that the holes for the four screws holding the bin into position don't someday strip out from supporting the console.
Those are all really minor issues and, as I said, I am very happy overall with the product and the end result. My console was never so stable before.
