All diamond plate was too much bling so I inlaid a portion of Grand Cherokee stainless sill plate. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCKNMUD Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonzoTheGreat Posted Friday at 01:14 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:14 AM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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.
