What did you do to your TJ today?

They sell a double din dash cover for our TJs so then it’s just using that and finding whatever radio you like the features of. Crunch field is a great resource for getting all the components you need for nearly plug and play.
I have android Auto in my new truck...its awesome. Being able to use my phone GPS with Google maps is so much better than any factory nav I used (and I've used a bunch). I'm really looking into one of those chinese import double din head units, like this...

Din is a unit of measurement used by the radio manufacturers. A normal size car radio is a single din. The 97 wrangler used a 1.5 din. And the later models used a 2 din (or double din)
A single or double din can be installed. Just need the appropriate install kit. Some modification may be needed to install a double din if I’m not mistaken.
The factory radio is a 1.5 din. A single din will fit with an install kit like this.

Or if you realy want a double din radio you are looking at buying a new trim piece and cutting the dash to fit it in. Many people have done it. Here is a link to the post.

Today I lighted my Jeep by 40lbs by selling my hi-lift jack! The listing is worth a read: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/hi-lift-jack-xt485-48-hi-lift-x-treme-jack.15998/
Haha... you wrote all that and it STILL sold! I guess some people really just need a hi-lift jack. You know, you can mount them on top of your hood and look like billy badass!
Is it just me, or did the prepper crowd become the overland crowd? Gotta have the full first aid medical kit even if you only know how the band aids and aspirin work.
I think you're right!
Funnest thing ever... Saw a brand new Mercedes G-Wagen driving down the highway this past weekend. It was lifted about 6 inches sitting on 35" tires that were sticking WAY out. Not a scratch on this thing, but it had a brand new red hi-lift jack mounted and displayed proudly on the back, a number of brand new, flawless looking jerry cans, a nice red shovel that looked freshly painted and not a spec of dirt on it, water jugs, a safari rack with all sorts of other stuff on it.
I laughed and said, "No way that guy is doing that for anything other than looks".

I would go with a single din. I don't want to cut my dash.
