Hate to say it but I'm jealous of the KL's 11 speaker system, has anyone ever heard an auto sound system with multiple speakers like that? How much better does it sound?
With factory speakers? Usually like ****. The 11 speakers don't make immersive surround sound or anything special; they just allow more places for audio propagation so the noise level is even throughout the vehicle.

Fuel pump went out, while out of town for the Christmas. Nothing like breaking down in a small town that only has a Napa. All they could get me was the sending unit and pump. $388 and two hours later, it was back on the road! So glad I have a 93' and can remove pump without having to drop the tank!

Removed the plastic 'steps' on the rockers and painted with epoxy bedliner with rubber bits.

Just ordered another $100 in parts from rock auto. New brake hoses, o2 sensor, fuel filter, cap and rotor. Also swung by the wrecking yards and scored factory tweeters, two good center consol latches, and the HVAC ducting under the consol since I swapped out the stubby for the full size.

Once the jeep cools down I'm changing the thermostat as well. She is getting there slowly. I need to pick up 4 relays so I can add them to the blower circuit. I am tired of melting fuses.

Asked her (XJ) how I ended up spending another $4k on her when she cost $2,500.
1996 Classic, clean and rust-free. Needs a good home, some where with elevation, trees, rocks and trails.
