[@zoddan]

Great wire video on set up and problem solving

[@davidmaxey7336]

So glad to see you enjoy putting consoles in multiple times too! ;)

[@rockyour4x4]

Ha!

[@dustinkey8885]

​@@rockyour4x4 GM dashes are bad about breaking

[@dustinkey8885]

​@@rockyour4x4the blue with white is the amp turn on

[@Sawdust65]

So the new bezel converts the 1 1/2 DIN to double DIN. that’s cool.

[@rockyour4x4]

Yes

[@jesterofatlas5749]

some cherokees had an upgraded stereo option with a amp under the rear seat.

[@zoddan]

Next time, cut the upper vent brace 1/4" plastic so you don't have to cut in to the air ducts makes it easier

[@ronwinn879]

Great video! I may have missed in other videos - where did you get seats covered? They look great. Thanks from Texas!

[@rockyour4x4]

Seats were Katsinz kit covered locally by Morgan’sAutoTrim in Lenoir City, TN

[@blakejulian6878]

What saw are you using to cut the notches out? I like how quiet it is

[@rockyour4x4]

Ha! It’s loud. I cut the audio down so viewers wouldn’t be annoyed by the noise.

[@blakejulian6878]

@@rockyour4x4 Hahahaha so mine isn’t the only one!

[@russelllink3143]

So did you end up using the new door speakers? It looked like you just put the factory ones back in.

[@rockyour4x4]

Yes, we just reinstall the factory speakers and they work just fine. I do still have the other ones but they had a smaller magnet and smaller dimensions overall than the factory speaker. I may go back and make an adapter eventually but at this point we are just anxious to get this thing on the road.

[@cobey4042]

what size are the bulbs for the kick panel and the rear map light?

[@rockyour4x4]

I don’t recall, but we looked them up on superbrightleds.com

[@cobey4042]

@@rockyour4x4 thank you i’ll do some more research and get the right ones. nice xj boss🤙🏼

[@rynojansen8898]

Why would you opt for dubble din as apposed to single?

[@rockyour4x4]

The larger screen mostly. A single DIN doesn’t display the Apple CarPlay information.

[@zoddan]

Double din works with rear camera also and are half the cost of single din with pop out screen

[@andrewthorsten3809]

I want to put a tablet in my colorado. any suggestions other than pheonix?

[@rockyour4x4]

Tablet as in head unit? 🤷‍♂️

[@andrewthorsten3809]

@@rockyour4x4 yeah, something I could run Gaia and maybe control my lights and chargers with. I don't really care about Apple car play or whatever though. I'm just trying to consolidate all the extra switches and gizmos on my dash

[@MrMrsregor]

@@andrewthorsten3809 i haven't done it, but there are a few jeep xjs on the forums that manage to install a tablet in place of the head unit. one person even has a head unit installed behind their tablet, they recessed the head unit back a few inches and have the tablet installed in front of the head unit. they had to customize the bezel and the tablet slides in from the driver side

[@AZOTH99eod]

Any links to the parts you used?

[@rockyour4x4]

The audio parts can be sourced from Crutchfield.com, all of the other interior components were sourced from a local interior shop.

[@brandontindell2191]

Ha! Those old trim clips are brittle.

[@blakejulian6878]

Heck I’ve broke them on my 17 F350. Their an old fashion but good way to keep the panels on. I don’t see them changing anytime soon either

[@easttennessee6096]

You gave me a headache! :)

[@rockyour4x4]

How so?
