Heh. When I look at WJ's WJ, I get this instant image of my mind of chaos happening on the outside, and "elevator music" version of "The Girl From Inpanema playing on the inside, a la the elevator scene from "The Blues Brothers."
Tee Hee!!!
BTW, Nice Jeep!

Hey, how much did the initial lift, tires and rack set you back? I got a buddy with a 2000 and was liking what you did.

-Lift was around $1100-$1300 after my 14% taxes and other fees my gov't likes to squeeze outta me. (Local Shop)
-Tires (5 tires, 1 spare rim) were around $1500 after mounting, balancing, taxes, enviro fees, etc... (Local Shop)
-Roof Rack I think was around $300 - $400. (Local Shop)
-JKS Disco's (Highly recommend some sort of swaybar disconnect) $100 (Kevins Off Road.)
-Sliderz were between $250 - $350 shipped. (Kevins Off Road)
(All Prices In Canadian Dollars!)
So, under 4K CAD...Damn that stuff adds up quick...
Anything else, just ask.
Later.

Hmmmm....Haven't updated this post in a while...
'Bout time to bring it back to life.
Here's the last couple of things I've done to the WJ:
The RB1 Nav Radio upgrade:
And I had to remove the trim piece from above the steering column (Which just pulls straight out) and then the gauge cluster (4 screws, 2 top, 2 bottom) to mount the antenna.
There is a small ledge behind the gauge cluster that is a great place to put the antenna...
Then just feed the wire from the antenna across to the radio opening over the vents. Plug in the new radio harness (or adapter if pre-2002)
I used a cheap wiring harness adapter that I had to put together, but It didn't work out so well, so I had to eventually spend a few more bucks on the Mopar harness...
And install:
