[QUOTE="El Scorcho, post: 436345, member: 20655"] I have a 1993 YJ soft top, 4.0 I-6, 5 speed, air conditioning. I was [B]trying [/B]to install a new radio and speakers and a Tuffy security glove box. When I went to put the dash back together, the left side did [B]not [/B]want to go back in place. I couldn't tell what was keeping it from lining up, so I just pushed it all together with my foot while getting the bolts started with my hands. I replaced the rest of the bolts, put the windshield up and attached it to the sport bars, then went for a test drive. The gas pedal no longer has full range of motion! once home, I could see that the upper part of the throttle pedal pivot is hitting the HVAC system, so the pedal won't pivot for full acceleration. I loosened the dash bolts again and removed some trim panels so I could try to see what's going on. I can't budge the HVAC part (looks like a fan housing?) to make the gas pedal pivot not strike the housing. I have to assume something behind the dash shifted or fell when I loosened the dash, but I can't tell what is going on. [/QUOTE]
