I got lots of messages from you guys about the radio install so here it is. We didn't get all the shots and I was working on other things and my Son Gavin did most of the install. But very straight forward and 4 years later still working great.

This is so wholesome. My dad just recently had a stroke and we used to work on my Jeep together. He can't use his tools like he used to and it makes me sad. But, this video made me smile.

My father had a stroke in 06, I recently lost him this year. Try to do more activities with your father in his current state, he might feel insecure about his new body, but it’s important to always reassure him that he’s still your Superman!

The guy sounds just like my grandpa, who gave me his WJ, and my name is Gavin, sadly he moved to Wisconsin and I live in New England. Never did get a chance to work on the WJ with him, hearing him say his son's name gave me chills. So wholesome.

Glad I found this channel - Awesome work! 2 questions. Can you adjust that screen to eliminate glare and is it bright enough during the day? I've had some touch screen radios that were too dim to see in daylight. Also, did you brace your roof for the rooftop tent? Somewhere the manual for my 2004 WJ says max load is 100 lbs or so for the factory rack. I weight more than twice that by myself!

@SpiralDesignWorks 3 жыл бұрын

Yes the screen moves around on a gimble and has a night and day brightness mode. Works great. The roof top tent is bolted to four custom brackets with 4 bolts each into the roof channel. So 16 bolts holding it down it is not going anywhere. I originally had it bolted to the factory rails but did seem iffy.

You can route them right under and out the same vents w a dremel and some plastic. Depends on which radio you get, too.

Rocking mine over a year in high heat and cold w ZERO issues!
