Hey peeps, glad to be here. Just bought this new to me 2004 Rubi with 80K on the ODO. So far she runs a 4in Full Traction lift with 2in Body, running 35x12.50x18 Coopers front and rear. No Rubs. Lots of other parts, im just so excited to finally be in a TJ, i had a Lifted WJ and she did great for awhile, but sold her to buy the TJ. Ill continually update this thread with my build and what im doing to her and any troubles i may come across and how i fix them. Glad to be here and cant wait to get into the build further and post more pics. But without further ado. Here is the Goods

First of many upgrades is the center console speaker, as mine was equipped with. We read this thread How to Replace your Factory TJ/LJ Console Sub We went with this lineup for mine.

Subwoofer:
Kicker 48CWRT672
Amp Wiring Kit:
EFX PA8BX Amp Kit

12 Gauge Speaker Wire
Amplifier:
Kicker 46CXA400.1T

As with the original thread I had to mold the factory box.

This is where I spliced the 12 Volt Remote Turn on wire. Its spliced to the back (factory side) of the Crutchfield Ready Harness. Apparently its just a plug now between the factory unit and the JVC / Whatever your using. They refunded my 27$ for the Ready Harness, as its just a plug LOL.

Here is the Amp mounted to the back of the center console, as it turned out to be a perfect fit.

Here I drilled and grommeted two holes for the amp wires. Again a perfect fit. However you do lose your rear cupholders. Fits with rear seat and driver passenger seats. Honestly the best thing is not needing the extra Bass Volume Knob. $$$ Saving a few dollars and also having access and the amp up off the floor pan for water if I do decide to go that route. If anyone has any questions regarding the parts of this setup or install, please feel free to ask !
