Go to the junkyard and replace your headliner/sound bar. Get a sound bar from an older xj modify it for 6x9 speakers then wire it up and bolt it in.

This would almost work but the headliner is shaped to the sound bar, and I'm not sure if any later model xj's have the same headliner as the 99

if you swapped in the flat headliner board from the older XJs as well it would work, only difference is the sound bar

I didn't do this today... but I replaced my front diff breather tube. It was my first "done-by-me" repair, and I just had to do it during the hottest time of the day. :brickwall

The 97+ headliner and put the sound bar from an older model in a different location farther up. I've seen it done before. You will have 2 more speakers you could even cut it for a small pair of subs like 8in.

Hahaha, right? That's such a steal.

I wonder if I could fine one like my stock and leave it where it is and the get one that sits over the liner and put it over my rear seats near my head or something.
:dunno:

Saw this on google sounds like a fun project. Any idea how much a headliner, and two speaker bars could cost me from a jy?
:thumbsup:

i paid ~15$ for the sound bar in mine, its the rear one out of a 97, the headliner material i bought new for like 50$ online and used the original backer board, plus ~25$ in fiberglass.

How is the sound quality with this? I was thinking about angling the door speakers cuz the sound doesnt travel up well, but this might work even better.

Wait how did you use the original backer if the original doesn't have the spot for the speakers up front?

the older pre97 soundbar, fiberglassed to the 99 backer board

its loud, works well, can here it over the wind noise. it was done mostly to have sound while doorless. some people do bump their heads if they don't know its there while jumping in, im 6'1" and have no issues with hitting it.

For the audio snobs; imaging is pretty horrible with the setup, but if you don't know what that is it likely doesn't matter to you.

I bought some 33x10.50 Bfg km2's. Pics to follow once they are installed

I'd like to know what you think of those, and what kind of wheeling you do with them etc.

 

[YoureverydayXJ]

I'm black on green, I can't find any other colors of plasti dip around here though:/ I wish I could find like green. I would go crazy

I think they only make black, red, and white. But you can order a kit and mix your own if you have spray equipment.

You don't even have to go thar far, you could just fasten it using the factory locations in the bar and put it over top of the factory headliner like the pre 97's did from tthe factory

I run them and love them. They've been great and wear surprisingly well. I wheel mostly so cal desert and dry granite type rocks. No mud here
