i think a better thread would be "most challenging vehicles for installs" there are way too many vehicles that are easy to install, but there are for sure a few that are a challenge like the man who had to remove his windshield.

my 96 trans am was pretty easy. having big hands and still being able to reach behind the hu and run your rca's was excellent!

and my civic i can also gut pretty easily.

01 dodge neon was fairly simple as well.

as far as the radio and all were concerned.... I havent yet pulled the seats but the 1/0 that i have going to the back is hidden under carpet so its all good.

masta tribute ***** tho, and the ford focus panels like to break when you pull them off....the fasteners

with out a doubt..easiest car I have EVER worked on was my 1998 Toyota Rav 4... Sooo much room behind the radio to run wires under the carpet, Radio is a piece of cake to take out...just 4 screws... DONE... alll the step panels popped right off with ease...and ALLLL the carpet just lifts right up and peels back.... There is only 1 little raise in elevation under the front seats.. besides that, the ENTIRE car is flat all the way to the back...no hassle with pulling wires back... Seat bolts are all easily accessible... TONS of room in the back...and the back seats fold up

I agree, the next one on my list would be a 93 Toyota Camry. I can take that car apart with my eyes closed. Bless those Toyotas.

I could go on and on for days about the challenging ones.

Hey, you make your threads and I will make mine.

Jeeps. Cherokee was extremely easy, grand Cherokee was a bit tougher.
With both Cherokees, you only had to remove the dash bezel (5 screws) and you're to the head unit. I could switch my HU in less than 5 minutes with either.

Fitting 1/0 under the door sill trim in the Cherokee was so easy it was like it wasn't even there. Grand was much more tough to run wire there.

Installing components in the Cherokee was also easy a pie. Tons of room to work with to run the wire. Grand cherokee, again, was a little more difficult.

I would say any SUV lends itself to an easy install of a large sub setup.

Agreed. Doesn't get much better than 5 screws to remove a HU.

Amazing how Jeep can make an interior so simple, an engine so strong and still puts a D35 out back.

*sigh*

Got a D35 with an LSD in my grand... Not worried about it because its my daily... Got the 8.25 in my XJ though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Any GM I've worked on has been easy. The only problem is that with anything after about 1995, to install an HU, you have to turn the key to power, put the parking brake on, and throw the car into first because the dash panel comes off in one big piece. Not difficult, just a tad annoying. And not much room for wires behind the HU.

Other than that, they're pretty simple.
