Default My new XJ, FINALLY FOUND ONE, and Q's

I tried on Jeep forum, but I'm not a fan of that place.

Just new to me, today, '98 XJ, in need of:

1. Seat Covers -- was told to get WJ seats, I'll keep an eye out but I still want a cover for the rear bench anyways.
2. Cargo Shade
3. Speakers that fit with about one hundred watts RMS. Apparently some don't let the window down? -- I have infinity kappas, 529i, in my Wrangler and haven't blown them, so if those are known to work in either the 529i or 629i variety I would like to go with those.

Is this thread meant to be a chat or do you have any concerns? Also a picture would be cool.

Sorry if it wasn't clear:

I can't find seat covers on Amazon or Quadratec... would like to know where to get some.
Would like to know where to get a cargo shade, also no luck on same sites above.
Would like to know if said speakers don't interfere with the windows and whether to get 5.25s or 6.5s.

Here you go:




And here's the wrangler for good measure...

Seat covers http://www.quadratec.com/category/Je...s/85/index.htm A cargo cover you'd have to take one out of a zj and make it fit.

Good luck on finding a cargo shade. Not to many left for sale it seems.

Let's be honest. I wouldn't kick that TJ out of bed either.

Those are all seat towel things, not fitted covers like I have for my TJ.

TJ = very popular, copious amounts of aftermarket, tons of ladies drive them.

XJ = not very popular, very little after market for esthetic mods, ***** doubles in size at the moment of purchase.

Odd, over twice as many XJs produced, but I guess the seat covers make more sense when you don't have a top.

This. Just go ahead and get them from Walmart. They work well enough. Tractor Supply has them as well.

Also good call on not liking JF.

Walmart has some really nice leather seat covers with the "Jeep" logo embossed in them.

I have 6.25 rear speakers and 5.25 front. Now I want either bigger front ones or a sub, but I think I'd have to cut to fit bigger ones front

Went to the (only) Walmart here, those did look nice, but they only had ones for removable headrests, grr. Picked up a cheap set ($19) for the front to hold me over for awhile. I did some further investigation and think some TJ covers might fit the front seats, going to pull one off my other jeep first and see how that works out. For the rear, probably going to go with a made to order wet okole... I would do front and rear, but that's $550... hard to justify that cost when the truck itself was so cheap.
