I want to put my DD radio in jeep.. but ofcourse there is not enough space .. with out modifying.. so im fixing to go take a hard look and see if i can move stuff around and make it fit in the factory spot.. Like move the a/c controls down further...
Anyone ? try this ? got pics?
thanks
Greg

 

nobody? well i guess i will just have a go at it

 

I havn't tried it in my XJ, but I took the AC/heat controls out of the dash in my Neon, and moved them down to the center console. Just extended some lines and it worked out great. Neon was a Din and a half, but to fit the Double din in it had to be moved. I moved my stereo up to the overheard console. Took it down to make it better, havn't put it back up yet though.

 

im almost done... will post pics later ,its pretty tight fit,,, had to mod the def tube

 

well... with more time and little more work i could have made it fit better.. in time I will refine it.. but for now its in and everything working.. Not alot of fun.. prob the hardest radio install i have done..... had to cut part of defroster tube and rework it... just to get radio in the hole..

 

Nice! you have a pic of it all together?

 

not yet.. its pouring down raining.. so im cleaning up inside of garage to see if i can get the jeep in... but it still needs to come all back out and refined a little more.. but even tho i cut alot out of defrost tube.. its still blows just fine on defrost..but what a pain in but.. not alot of room ..

 

nice work, I found out how much of a pita it was to move down the heater controls, when I did my overkill A/C upgrade, still gotta repaint to match, but the dogs are a lot cooler on the trail, wifes not liking it, for some reason her High Beams are always on- haha

 

wtf is up with your dash? haha

 

Need to fine tune a few things.. like vent is crooked lol... and trim it better.. but its in and atleast looks good from a few feet away..

 

It came out pretty sweet man!

 

so so.. good enough that i know it will fit.. lol.. will rework a few things but man what a tight fit...

 

looks nice, i am planning to throw a double din in my 99 this summer. the dash is worked a little different tho. prolly not gonna have vents in the middle

 

I got so tired of trying to fit stuff into the dash, that I decided to put my stereo up into a console on the headliner. But seriously, stuffing a double din into an XJ dash.....serious kudos!

 

LOL thanks... when i first looked in there.. i said hummm this aint gona fit is it... then i decided.. yes it will fit... then i decided.. im a idiot for trying... then i decided... i was briliant...then i figured.. wait..its just plastic and i beat it up cut it up.. so now im just a plastic bully.. :}
