Ideas for new install - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Edition !

[JustStoppingBy 10+ year member]

Rotalled my montero and insurance is dicking with me on the $$$ wrecked value.

Looking at a Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004 with only 22,000 miles on it. Real cheap like 18k with part of the warranty remaining. Heres what im working with..

1.5 DIN in dash but I think the dash kits only throw a 1 DIN hole...

6.5 speakers front and back doors, with tweeter pods on pillars...

plenty of trunk room so im keeping my RE SE 15 and box for now.

Need advice on the door speakers, indash unit, and maybe some headlight mod options.. i got the Xenons on my montero and i will miss them so.

go for a nice H.I.D. kit i hear they make real nice one's for the jeep . considering i have seen them also nice and bright. as for a nice speaker set up i would say run a nice comp set of rainbow's upfront.

rainbows were my first choice so far..

and i HATE the idiots who buy the HID conversion but dont change the reflectors or do a projector retrofit. I had some BMW 745li lenses in my montero housings and a set of 6k HIDs.. abso fking lutely loved it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif RIP montero.

ya another jeep owner.....what do those strobes run?

 

[JustStoppingBy 10+ year member]

strobes?

the headlight housings run like 200 shipped a pair

and the HID conversions run like 250 shipped for a GOOD pair.

once you drive with HID lighting at night 1 time.. you don't ever wanna drive Halogens again..

lucky man i wish i could run a H.I.D. kit in my car instead of halogens. but i have a 89 lincoln mark vii so yeah would be alot of fabricating i think.

i have a grand cherokee. I've had lots of problems with the car and the audio but i still love it. As far as the car goes. Make sure you get the transfer case inspected, as well as the brakes. Also, be very careful when installing the headunit. If it has the infinity stereo system you will have to bypass the front amp. Also the front speakers are 6x9s so take that how you will. You have plenty of room in the trunk for whatever you want. Right now i have a single FI q

brake rotors warp all the time, and the treansfer case thats the NP-232 is usually rock solid, but the "fulltime Awd" one screws up a lot.

ive owned 3 jeeps.. all XJ series tho

the tweeters r also an odd size im pretty sure u have to fabricate some to make a set of aftermarket tweeters fit
