What engine did you put in? Did you do it all yourself?

Wow! what a project!Had a new heater core and evaporator core installed. Finally I have heat!
See: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads...mendation-for-rods-radiator-redding-ca.18457/
So here are photos of the disassembled dash and heater box. Note that the heater box shows the Valeo logo and is stamped "made in U.S.A." Mopar heater cores are also Valeo products, but labeled "made in France."

That's awesome! I installed the Kicker CompRT 6.75 sub but can't figure out how to replace the amp with the PXA200.1. any suggestions? I'm about to return the amp.Got the install finished on the Kicker CompRT finished in the console. I cannot believe how good that thing sounds! I paired it with the Kicker pxa300.4 amp and ran it bridged, with the sub wired in parallel to the dual coils. Eventually, I'll use that amp to power the dash and power bar speakers, and use a pxa200.1 monoblock to power the sub. I kinda hate doing it in stages, but the cash is a trickle, and I really would rather have the double din Android system in first.
I don't take any pics during the install since it's quite a common job, and there's a great how-to already. The only real difference I made was that I installed the amp under the driver seat since it will be a good place to distribute leads
from later when it's powering the dash and sound bar.
One interesting thing to note was that I had thought that the originally installed sub was still in there. When breaking the enclosure apart I found that it has been swapped with the quadratec replacement. It's still in great shape, but just couldn't hold a candle to the setup I've got going now! If you've been thinking of doing this mod, don't hesitate. It's well worth it!
Are you using a factory head unit or aftermarket?That's awesome! I installed the Kicker CompRT 6.75 sub but can't figure out how to replace the amp with the PXA200.1. any suggestions? I'm about to return the amp.
I didn't use the monoblock, but the config should be similar. I, for now, left the factory amp to run the sound pods and the dash speakers, and just disconnected the leads from the factory amp that ran to the sub, and covered them with electrical tape, and tucked them under the carpet. Then then ran new leads from the amp to the sub in parallel to keep the RMS and ohms at the right rate. Hope this helps!That's awesome!

If your happy with it, that's all that matters. You could wire up the amp with a amp wiring kit w/ RCA cables pretty easyI am using a kenwood excelon kdcx302. I ended up installing just the stereo and sub without the amp. I think I'm missing some wires. Calling crutchfield to figure out which wiring kit I need to order for my amp. So far it sounds great without the upgraded amp. I'm debating on returning it all together.
Nice! I've loved my bumpers!Dirtworx rear bumper and tire carrier are all painted..
Front bumper installed. It wasn't a plug and play...no fault of Robert from Dirtworx. Remember- my Jeep is the one with the BENT FRAME/RAILS.
I little grinding on the bottom passenger bracket to get it to slide onto the bumper rail.
Had to notch winch mounting plate to accommodate sway bar clamps.
And a couple of holes were made somewhat oblong using a jig saw and round file to line up bolt with nut.
Passenger bottom nut was missing, so I used "steel epoxy" to secure the nut. Washers were used to hide the not so round holes and give it a uniform look. I wish it was a plug and play, but at least it was 70 degrees in North Carolina
