No, the mail carrier tray you asked about came from this postal jeep, which I found at the local Pick N Pull. It's not a Cherokee.

If you didn't notice I slid the original soundbar forward, and redid the ceiling with replacement auto carpet. So the ceiling is identical to the floor material wise. (You can also see the new overhead console/Mirror)

The Next one was a quick shot of my new wheels. I replaced the stock rims with brand new 17" rims off a cherokee, to do this I put a 2" daystar leveling kit in front and waiting for the 2" shackle rough country lift to come in that I ordered december 22nd. I also had to put an adapter kit on to change the bolt pattern from 5x4.5" to 5x5".

Next is the new overhead console from a '98 zj and mirror, I have not finished with my wiring, thats why the headliner is not tacked down at the window yet.

Last but not least the first part of my entertainment system a 6.5" lcd fiberglassed into the newly covered sun visor, it hooks up to a ps2 in the glovebox.

So grand totals all the reupholstering supplies and fabric cost $40
Fiberglassing/fleece costs $13
6.5" Lcd $17 off eBay
Overhead Console/Mirror $25
Wheels/Lifts/Spacer/Tires $385 but made $135 selling my old crap so $250 thanks to craigslist
Much more to come soon

dude that soundbar is awesome as hell tell me what to do to be that awesome

I hope you were joking about the horns and $20 walmart speakers being awesome lol

**Red91xj26** · 03-18-2010, 10:51 PM

just the sound bar.. not whats in it iv got a JL 12 in my jeep and want to get smaller subs because its crazy loud and having them in the ceiling is convenient for saving space in my cargo area

PlatinumNiner · 03-18-2010, 10:56 PM

Adreed however those wont do anything for you. 6.5" components on the 4 doors and a custom stealth box in the pass 1/4 panel. You can build a box to fit a 12" slim woofer. Like a pioneer slim or something along those lines. Doesnt take up much space either. 6.5" woofers are not subs. They are perfect mid bass drivers. They will never hit the lows that your 12" sub will

**Red91xj26** · 03-18-2010, 11:21 PM

well on that note I might keep the 12 and get this so I can hook it up phat on some storage on the top Olympic 4X4 Products Mountaineer Rack for 84-01 Jeep® Cherokee XJ - Acme Jeep Parts

but still I would like a soundbar if not for subs then speakers. how hard are they to hook up? i suck *** with electronics and **** but I would really want to make it work

PlatinumNiner · 03-18-2010, 11:26 PM

Those looks great on an XJ id have one but my xj barely clears my garage door lol. No room for one

The horns are now fog outputs and their not speakers their just run of the mill 8" subs until I get all the kinks worked out on the car and get some new funds.

PlatinumNiner · 03-19-2010, 12:46 AM
