KFX (DoubleTapXJ or whatever you go by), I've been meaning to reply to you for a while. I CANNOT overemphasise how awesome that sub sounds! Here's a quick shot of the install. I have to get a longer screw for that top trim piece....

Here's the workhorses, my ARB Compressor and 1000 Watt AC Power Inverter.

A shot of everything cleaned out (for once) after a camping trip. I usually at least keep my field toolbag and straps/winch accessories back there. I've also hidden away a plug for my ARB Fridge under the AC Power Inverter.

And.... My cherokee bullying a stock one in the local parking lot... I couldn't resist. Nothing against stock XJ's though

Ugly wiring hanging out of my ceiling:

None at all, just make sure the depth isn't too much for the stock location in the front. The speakers I bought fit like they were made for the application, but you can tell that they are bigger by their sound and heft!

Retail is somewhere around $2400, but I spent about $1500 on it I believe. Much better than buying four big halogens or some HID globes for the same price. and the lower profile cuts down on my wind resistance, hence I still see 16 MPG out of this thing on a regular basis.

It's been a while since I updated my thread, but I've made some interesting purchases recently and can't wait to bolt them on. Namely a Hesco supercharger, steel rear quarter panels/taillights, and other such goodies .

Another update soon!
