What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[jimquill]

I replaced the dash and knee speakers in my Sport S today. I have the 7” display non-Alpine system. The dash speakers I went with are Infinity 3.5” ones from Crutchfield. As for the knee speakers, I was really worried about the whole process of pulling the dash apart and getting the knee speaker pods out, but it really wasn’t that bad. I used the Metra pods and installed Infinity 6.5” speakers. I covered the inside with Dynamat and filled with poly fill. Pic is a comparison of the factory pod and Metra pod / Infinity speakers I used.
All in, a $275 upgrade and TOTALLY worth it!

Did you add an amp, or just replace the speakers?

My cousins synergy arms took a shit with like 20k miles and way less flex than mc or rk, the shocks only extended 28”. So not a synergy fan anymore. I dont even want the track bars i have but i dont wanna buy more yet hahaha

Yeah, I remember talking with you back when you were installing them. The rear uppers at their shortest, were longer than all the recommended lengths.

Swapping out the rears are next on my to-do list. I've also got their rear track bar. After I knuckle/joint/axle the front end, I'll be focusing on the rear axle. I'm thinking of a set of matching RCV shafts, not sure what brand rear driveshaft, and a Metalcloak track bar. Like yourself, I'm no longer a fan of Synergy's. I might only keep their rear track bar reinforcements on both the axle and frame ends.

Did you add an amp or just swap the speakers? Did you have the base system?

I have the Alpine premium system and I replaced the stock speakers. Maybe get a amp down the road.

 

[jimquill]

Thanks. I have the base. Not sure if that shitty 5” headset will drive decent speakers.

Sounds like a good plan

Changed the transfer case fluid and re-routed my ROAM step light wiring. I had it going through one of the OEM skid bars, but those have to go away when I install the MetalCloak skid system. I dropped the transfer case skid instead of fighting with trying to drain the oil (which would have been a mess). Neither plug was magnetic, so I will be replacing those at the next fluid change with magnetic plugs.

The front and rear master install kits and the rear gears were dropped off by FedEx this morning so the next big project is re-gear to 4.88!

Where did you get the pedal covers? I ordered some and the brake pedal was too small and saw others that you had to remove part of the existing brake pedal for it to work which made the pedal smaller in the end.

Just speakers...for now! Powered sub under the passenger seat is next, then a 4 channel amp for the speakers.

I did those a few weeks ago! Expensive for what they are, but they are really nice!

Axle swap is done. Installed brand new rubicon front axle and a axle I got off @wibornz . Got my alignment all double checked and happy. Now hoping to get out in the dirt soon

Are just the speakers worth it? Louder?
