My '95 came with 6x9s installed in the liftgate. Whoever put them in did a half@$$ job of it though. They filed away all the fiberglass and just had them screwed into the plastic/fiberboard panel. I can't comment on weight, because the lift gate struts are shot, and the Jeep came with a cut stick to prop the gate open.

One speaker was barely being held in by 1 screw, with the other three having pulled out already, so I took it out. One day, I didn't get the gate support stick in the proper place. It slipped, the gate slammed shut, and shot the other speaker into the rear seatback.

 

Better to have that happen now than when u get in an accident.

 

I changed the CPS. Wow what a PITA. what should have been a 5 min job ended up taking 4 hours because of the tight space to work in.

 

I used about 3' of extensions when I did mine. Long stretch but it worked so... But I feel your pain.

 

I drop the crossmember down slightly then use extions to get to mine last time i didnt i dropped one of the bolts into the bell housing.

 

Went playing at some trails near the beach, pulled my buddies 2wd ranger out twice.

 

Changed the wiring harness from the battery to the starter and alternator. Changed out the seats with the ones from my crashed 98XJ
Changed the electric fan.
Changed the serpentine belt.
Changed the radiator expansion tank.

 

replaced air filter, pcv, and new air fresheners. had to kill the new headliner adhesive smell.

 

I hate air fresheners. They take away from the jeep smell. The headliner smell goes away pretty quickly.

 

Which Jeep smell? The grinder disc and rust you'll never get out of the HVAC vents, the gear oil that spilled in the back while you were hauling the new axle, or the mud from when you swamped it? lol

 

Replaced fuel ballast resistor, installed four new speakers (Morel Maximo Coax 5's), picked up a rear speaker bar and put it in (sounds WAY better with the rear speakers out of the liftgate!) and ordered a small 8" subwoofer and 2 amps (one mono for sub, one four channel for speakers)

 

Did an oil change, K&N oil filter I love that it has the bolt on the back! Promotive Air Filter, and up graded rain-x windshield wipers instead of those metal ones, I love the look of the new kind. But the oil change took like 4 hours instead of 30-45 minutes couldn't get the damn oil filter off. I don't have any special tools for that so I used sandpaper and my hands, PITA!

 

lcas got painted and ad justed and drilled out my spare xj 3rd leaf for rebound clips

 

I had some bad luck today, went to the JY to get a new headliner board, all 3 XJ's had the rear hatch locked, can't get the board out any other way.

Got in the cargo area in one an kicked at the rear hatch till I got tired, no cigar.

 

Basically unnecessary, needs to be hand tight only, might help get it off though if it tightens up I guess.
