Made a couple of sill plates out of aluminum diamond plate for it. All diamond plate was too much bling so I inlaid a portion of Grand Cherokee stainless sill plate.

Today I installed 2 pair of 6.5" Kenwood speakers and used Boxy Jeep's brackets for the rear cab corners.

Great to be able to put a bigger speaker back there and not see them but you sure do hear them!

I wanted Apple CarPlay and Walmart sells this cheap $150 unit and so far it is working great.

A dremel made quick work of opening up the dash.

That's a nice little head unit!  I'm usually a vintage head unit fan but I like that, it's clean and has a dedicated volume knob.

I found out the "worm" gear from an electric window regulator can be made to fit a manual one. It's been a long time since I could open my window all the way. :comanche:

I think you’re going to have to create a thread on this and tell us more

Haha, as always, I wish I took better pictures, mid-process.

 

I think that worm came out of a 97+ XJ, possibly even a rear door, but I pulled it from a junkyard like 3 years ago. Maybe someone can recognize the window attachment part and confirm?

My Dude is out here speaking the truth. :bowdown:

Spraying silicone lube in my manual worm gear is like a 5% improvement. Its embarrassing to roll down my driver window and it sounds like a 1980s kitchenaid mixer missing a few teeth on low.
You rock for the suggestion.
