Tech section look harder it's there

 

Here is a discussion of swapping a zj alternator in.

 

ZJ 136A alternator into 4.0 RENIX XJ bottom of page three in the xj tech write ups.

 

My big thing was I was trying to find a direct bolt in upgrade for the up to 90 renix 4.0 that didn't involve having to install a Chrysler style external voltage regualtor, seeing as the renix 4.0 alternator has the voltage regulator in it and the 91 and up have the external, I did my homework just didn't know of a bolt in upgrade with a built in regulator, thanks for the input I love this forum and all the help it provides for people

 

There are high amp alternators for renix years it's just you going to be paying for it there aren't cheap.

 

Will a jeep JK base radio work with an XJ? And if not what do I need to make it work?.. It's the connect 130

 

Maybe with a couple of harness kits from Best Buy.

What makes you believe the JK radio even fits? (I've never seen one)

 

I think it's 1.5 din. Might be 2. Same base model deck they use in all the Chrysler vehicles

 

Cool, I didnt know best buy sold harness kits. I'm upgrading the radio because I need an AUX port in my current one but I dont want to change the look of the vehicle from that era and the uconnect 130 would look perfect and fit my needs. Heres a photo of someone who did it.

That looks much better than I expected

 

Hah, not bad! That's a TJ but I think the bracket is the same.

 

I just took measurements of my cherokee radio and a 2016 JK 430N and 130S radio and they are all the same!!!

20.5cmx19.0cm!!!

Im super excited! Depending on the depth, should be a harness and play install, I will definitely make a indepth thread on my project!

I looked into the cost of the 430N radio and its pretty steep... $800+ yikes! Might just stick to my 130S for now haha!

 

Is this the radio, because I'm interested in your idea!

Looking forward to seeing it stuffed in the dash!
