Hey Hommersimpson did you leave the tinfoil there? I have the same dash, 90 cherokee, looking to put a (free aquired) pop-up DVD player, w/bluetooth etc I got to the lower HVAC spot. so swap the two...

Its gonna be lame but its cold and I need the defrost thes days..

I had thought about the same idea. Put the flip up where the heat/ac controls are and move the heat/ac up to where the stereo goes, then thought it might be a pita to reach the controls when the screen is open and flipped up.

Double din in da dash

98Plum Crazy

I put a double din in my 98 and had to cut the vent passages going to the top of the dash, took quite a while, but I own a car stereo shop, so it is kinda what i do, but jeeps were not made to have a double din, so great work to all that fab this to make it happen!!

I did a Double Din in-dash in a 97-01 Jeep Cherokee, I think it turned out nice!


Check out my blog post on how I did it!

That's pretty clean. Need to tell us more. I'm in no rush to put a new radio in my Jeep, but I have done quite a few radio installs over the years. Never had to deal with a pesky 1.5 din size though. ANNOYING!

I kinda also like the idea of doing a single din and CB/ham mounted into the dash. I suspect it might be to tight and not look factory (which is kinda a big thing for me).

A single din and a little wally world cobra would probably work pretty well. If you did it right it would look modified for sure but clean at least.

I guess this is cool mod for the modified section... I just dont see any fab work except for the use of tin foil and duct tape.


Now if you built a pimp fiberglass dash to hold the radio I would be impressed, but at the moment I am just shaking my head.

Old thread, maybe rules changed and this is grandfathered.

Definitely shouldn't be in fab... but if a moderator doesn't see it, it won't get moved.

Sitting here in the XJ, looking at the area, I see there is a lot of void space around the radio, but because the inner frame has almost no metal, it really would be a pain to do as you can easily fit the double-din radio/gps/lcd, but making the mounting points would not be easy. If one works with metal and can make pretty precise angle brackets and plates, it could work.

Personally, until I have my Jeep going on long trips/excursions, I'll just settle with the factory radio (well, might do a quick single din swap for the aux jack.

I took some pics but I may be out of space for attachments, will post later.
