I fit some Alpine 6.5" in the doors and roof. No mods needed. Someone else may want to confirm, but IIRC, it was a straightforward swap.

I run 6.5" all around in my 97 and I only had to drill new holes in the soundbar. If you want a cheap and reasonable system good in a jeep; Sony Xplod everything matches and sounds well in my heep.
