Hey guys, so it's that time for the build to start. I had my 2011 JGC Overland for about a year and half and that whole time I couldn't quite figure out what to do and how to move forward. So, I just sat on gear and planned things out. I even went so far as to cut a bunch of metal behind the factory sub, but ended up trading it in.
I now have a 2018 JCG Altitude. My Overland had 3 accidents and just went over 100k mi back in the fall, so I figured it was time to let it go while it still had any shred of value. I ended up leasing this new Jeep, so my system will have to avoid too much cutting, or in areas where it's obvious just in case I don't end up purchasing at the end of the lease. I also opted out of 4x4 which allows me to go without a spare tire. Plus, 99% of my time is just commuting, etc, so road-side assistance should be there for me if that happens. So, with the spare out, I was able to actually move forward.
Now, any of you Jeep WK2 owners know that, aside from the spare tire area, there's actually very little room to do things. The passenger quarter panel where the factory sub is/was offers some space, but I'm trying to avoid that area now for ease of installation. I've been researching on here for the last few years and found the following build threads to be extremely helpful, so thanks to all for posting.
