I am planning on installing a new truck stereo in my 96 XJ. My only question is will I typically need an adapter to install one or not? By adapter I mean to get the stereo to fit.

-Thanks!

Yes. You need to give some more information though like what kind of "truck stereo".

If it is a normal head unit you will just need a wiring harness and the metal bracket from the stock head unit to hold it in place

This might help.

I am just looking to install a basic stereo unit that does not have a CD player in it but has multiple aux inputs. Thanks for the previous info from the blog. Any recommendations or tips would be helpful.

I recently installed an older model ken wood single disc, I bought the harness off eBay, $7 took 8 mins to wire up the harness, I pulled the stock stereo, connected the harness and simply installed the "new" one, all is good

What wiring harness did you get on ebay?

GI Jeep

www.crutchfield.com has everything you need

scosche and metra both make harness kits.

Does your head unit have a harness attached to it?
If it's not like the oem stereo, you'll need a dash install kit as well, metra makes those too.

Yeah, the XJ has the OEM stereo. I figured I needed a dash kit of some kind. Thanks for the info.
