Hey guys!!! Its time to upgrade the interior of my 2005 Jeep wrangler LJ. And the perfect place to start is a nice double din touchscreen radio. This radio has a ton of modern features and looks really cool. The radio itself is a SSL brand, which is ultimately made by Boss Audio.. Its a cheaper model, but very similar to what Ben installed on his JKU. This radio comes with Carplay, Andriod Auto, Bluetooth, Optional reverse camera input, other audio and visual inputs, and more! The only thing it doesnt have is a CD player, which is something i didnt need.
In order to fit a larger touch screen radio, i had to use a DD dash kit from amazon. Along with that, we had to trim out the plastic support piece in the dash above the HVAC controls. But other than that, fitting a new radio into the Jeep was super easy.
Like i said in the video, this setup is less than $300, and its an upgrade you can do in your garage or driveway in just a few hours!
Overall, im super excited on how this turned out, and its time to move on to the next project!!! Thank you for watching and stay tuned for more Jeep videos soon!

What are some of your favorite interior upgrades you have done to you Jeep?! Let me know below!!!
I absolutely love the Smittybuilt G.E.A.R. overhead storage and my Grabar's. Also what are your grab handles?
Went from the stock lighting to LED's and what a difference .
My only Jeep is my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon, but my best interior mod is a toss-up between the Jeep/Mopar all-weather floor mats (with the drain plugs), and my 67 Designs carbon fiber phone mount. Both are awesome, and I use both every time I drive, so I can't choose between the two which I like best.
@@thomasthewrangler wish they'd make one for the JL
@mudrunner2005 Big fan of both of these!
Wait what, are we just going to ignore the scissors in the dash at time code 5:21 hahahaha
Yeah, I had to do a double take on that!
@@MikeCurtis7663 I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.
I caught that too! Didn’t see mention of that as a tool needed for the install. 😂
I was thinking the same thing 🤔 lol
I shall name those scissors "Rando"
Cassie, glad you're doing more vids. Keep it up, girl! The off roading community is sorely in need of more of you ladies out wheelin, fixing, and staring in A roll.
I just installed a Sony XAV-AX5500 in my 2003 Jeep TJ and it’s amazing! Also did an entire Rockford system. Worked out really well
I did the double din upgrade on my daughter’s Jeep around the same time. You really have to get crafty with the frame attachment. I actually plastic welded some brackets because the 99 radio mount was useless. I used an Alpine ILX with the wireless Apple CarPlay. So nice!
I installed an Alpine ILX-W650 shallow double din with the Alpine KTA-450 amp power duo in my Jeep. I love the setup. All of today's modern features along with Great sound!!! Back up cam is wired along with a new Kicker 6" center console sub and a 10" Kenwood sub with Alpine amp in the rear. But my favorite interior mods so far are the LED light replacements.
It's great seeing *you and Ben making videos again.* And it's great you now have a garage. Wish you guys all the luck in the future.
Yes I've been wanting for this!! I have a 06 TJ Rubicon and been thinking about upgrading the entire audio system.
I just recently installed a Boss double din radio in my 2005 tj Rubicon, and I love it. The 320 watts of power really sound awesome in the Jeep. All I want to do now is fix the factory subwoofer. You did an awesome job and I know you will love the new system.
I like the included bloopers, much more entertaining than adding them at the end. Very good tutorial. Well done. Now to wait for a long term review of the radio after wheeling trips and such.
I bought my daughter a power wheel Jeep for her birthday, and that old radio would be the prefect upgrade for her. She loves her Jeep and music!!!
I did a din and a half in my 99 TJ. My 08 JK has a Pioneer double with all the same features, it's a nice upgrade.
That was super helpful -thanks! I was about to buy one of those single DIN "floating screen" head units -i was a little hesitant of the whole having to modify the sub-dash part, but after watching your video, decided to go with a double DIN unit.
Love that you are REAL....thank you
Glad to see you back in action Cassie! Great job with the radio swap.
Really helpful tutorial, been looking everywhere for a proper installation. Just ordered it for my 01
That looks better than I thought. Usually some radios look cheesy and out of plave
That’s a great mod...! That’s next on my list for my 93 YJ. There’s currently a Crutchfield replacement in there.....seen better days. I just finished putting in Corbeau seats....super comfortable.
I've got the Alpine stereo system in my 2016 JK and it's got the power to rock the mountains , Great videos Keepim Coming .
Nice video. Great upgrade! Keep it up with the great videos
I run the pioneer 2550NEX. I installed a while ago and yesterday I installed the eRapta b/u camera!! All works great and a must have. I also replaced factory speakers with kickers and installed a crutch field sound ordinance powered sub inside the center console. You can actually hear clear sound with the top off! As someone else mentioned, hope you got the scissors out🤣
I just started watching your videos and realize that I have the exact same LJ. We have the same armor and step rails. Good to see what is possible with mine as you guys do all the upgrade
I installed the Pioneer AVH-2550 NEX as well as Pioneer’s backup camera a little over a month ago in my 2012 JKUR. Along with all new speakers and a new sub, it feels like a newer Jeep. I couldn’t be happier!
What speakers did you go with?
I would to get that radio for my mom. She left her top off her 97 TJ, and the radio quit working. She had a similar radio. She is one who does not like change. lol. Keep up the good work. I like the wife and husband team, but have different channels.
Tinted windows lol it feels like an interior upgrade! And adding a stereo and tailgate table!!! I’m obsessed with mine from amazon. It was $50 and is an exact replica of one that’s $250 on extreme terrain
Glad to see you took my suggestion on adding a usb extension.
Great video Cassie! The head unit looks good and you did a good job installing it. Keep Jeeping Classy Cassie!
You look amazing what a great ass mmm!
That looks super clean!
Cassie is cool. These two are refreshing from other youtube couples.
I installed a double DIN Kenwood/infotainment system in my TJ about 3 or 4 years ago. At the time, I could not find a dash kit available so I had to make my own brackets, hack up the factory center dash cover, and do the body work on the dash cover myself. It turned out great with a some cutting, fabricating, bondo, and paint. That dash kit would have made it so much easier! lol
I just love the family life parts that just pop up , like the the two perfect kids and just how do you say this
I did a 7 inch motorized fold out single din Pioneer NEX3400. It is nice cause the Jeep is topless all Summer and it hides away when I'm not in the Jeep. Plus you can still use in in the tucked position if you get stuck in the pop up rain storm!
Alpine ILX-W650 in my 01 TJ, works great!
There's always time for the bling. I did this to my wife's TJ, she loves it. Later a listener shared a link for the XJ double din bezel, and I did mine. Now the girls want to do the same in their TJs.
Agreed, wish I had done it sooner. Most people who have made the switch love it.
Awesome! I finally pulled the trigger and got myself one. Watching to get ideas. I am definitely excited and I feel same way, wish I would have done it sooner.
Found this video just in time. Thanks for the links and the video!
running pioneer avh 1400 nex double din in my LJ its awesome i love it.
I have to get a touchscreen radio, you made it look easy!
Interested in the radio. Could definitely use it in my Jeep! Love the channel, awesome content 🙂
I need that stereo soooooooooooo bad ! I had a dual forever till it got rained on it was so faithful!!! Please consider me I love y’all coolest couple I know !
Clean look on the install.
Love that Offroad Elements rear-view mirror SWAG!!! Gillian Miles is over the top AWESOME!!! Thank you guys for letting us know about them!
Gillian is the best!!!!😊
@@JeepGearGadgets I'm sure she'll be sending you guy's a Christmas card this year :-). Just got off the phone w/her today.
You two are awesome! I enjoy both of your channels, it’s always fun watching you guys! I could definitely use that receiver for my garage stereo. I use all car audio equipment for my setup and my old alpine receiver is no longer with us.. I would be able to give it a good home, haha. Keep up the awesome content!!
Great Video I already have a touch screen radio in my Jeep and I wouldn’t mind getting that radio for my dads Jeep.
I dont have a radio and really like what you installed for a future project. I think it is cool how you dremmeled it out.
Love your Jeep! This would be the kind I would like to build up as a fun project.
Thanks for the great idea I just put the same radio in my 2006 TJ :)
Great job. I've been thinking about a new stereo for on of my other toys, I'll check this one out.
Love the channel guy congrats!!
That old radio would make a pretty sweet cooler radio to float the river with :)))))
I really enjoy your videos and have inspired some things for me to do my jeep that i didnt know existed (jk rubi axles for the tj/lj platform) and i think this will be my next mini project after i get my current major project done on my tj, and my favorite interior mod i have is my smittybilt molly bags on my ceiling in my tj
I still have the cassette player and running 😃. I use a bt /radio connector for streaming.
New radio looks great !
I’ll take that in dash 😁👍
i put an iPad mini in the dash of my f150. Ive done ipads in many of my vehicles. The good thing about the F150 is it appears to be the radio, and you can still have the stock radio behind it so you still get all of the regular functions too.
Looks great
Love your videos! I bought my 2014 Jeep two years ago. It has a Uconnect stereo but no navigation (I'm trying to find a "hack" to get it to work). That stereo is sexy and looks great in your Jeep. I'm saving up $$ to get a lift installed, new bumpers and maybe some running board "tubes." I also want to get some 1/2 doors and quick release mirrors. You give me lots of ideas :) CHEERS --
subscribed!
Pioneer 5500nex and love it
I like the tin snips in the dash board
Thanks for posting this. It’s something I’m looking to do on both my LJ’s. Just haven’t got around to it yet.
You have two LJs?! The dream. Lol
Jeep Gear & Gadgets Yup! A black 04 named Clark, and a Champaign 05 named Ellen.
His and hers.
Nice job. I just got a new to me 2006 TJ. I could use the radio.
at 5:21 there is a pair of scissors hold wiring in place!
Halford's in the UK sell the harness complete, so you do not need to solder the harness which comes with the radio, to the one you have to purchase for your car. It is just plug and play.
I had a factory installed radio for Peugeot Citroen, but I have replaced it last week, with a 7018B.
We had the same unit installed, we didn’t find any scissors in the dash. Works great, but we can’t get Android Auto to work for my wife, Car Play working for me! It does need more bass so speakers and subwoofer and all that good stuff are next!
Great video! Good info👍 scissors ✂️ in the dash🤣
I’ll def take the radio !
Adobo is awesome! Nice vid👍🏻
Lookin good! 👍🏼
LOL yall are funny. Glad yall are back at it. Welcome to Texas
First thing I did in my Jeep was the radio lol. Double din pioneer nex dvd w/ Apple car play and installed a bypass. Also put a back up camera cuz my 35 inch spare basically blocks anything in my rear view.
That’s it, you have inspired me to get the camera on ASAP. My tire blinds me from everything as well!
I am currently running a Pioneer radio. I plan to install a double din in the future, but new mobile quad band transceiver will go in next. My current radio may be replaced because I mostly use the CD player, and I have no room in the center console for CDs. Being able to listen to my obscure favorite groups, like UFO, and Th' Inbred ['The Positive Song' is life affirming. Trust me. :/], would be awesome.
OK, I purchased the 2018 jlu rubicon , love it, then purchased a 2021 ecodiesel gladiator, live it. So I just bought a 1999 Sahara tj, I'm hooked . Or addicted 😋. Wife is starting to too. She signed up for jeep Jabari and drove ever obstacle. She's hooked too. I fact she told me about the tj. Lol and sent Pic as she was driving.lol
Much smoother than Ben's install. Which stands to reason, I mean, the guy doesn't know where the spices go. ;-) lol. Good stuff as usual, from both channels!!
I WANT IT FOR MY TJ PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS
Anyone else notice the random scissors in the back of the dash 🤔🤔
I thought it was cast iron 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏 Gotti !
Little known fact: all Jeeps have a pair of scissors and a butter knife inside the dash.
that was the unique easter egg that all TJ's have
You guys are fun to watch; good chemistry....yo....lol
I need that radio!
cool jeep!..from France
This was a very fun video. Great job Guys. GO Goya Adobo...lol
Very cool I love you just jump in and do it yourself so awesome ohh love your new house
Radio in my ratty old jeep is shot could really use that radio 😅 good tutorial 👌
fun video thank you
Smooth Advertiser
There a splicers you can use that have solder inside and shrink type plastic so all you need to do is slide the wires in and hear w a heat gun. No need for soldering iron.
Very nice
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice and great price for that radio thanks for the video
Yea you got a new radio😂 guess what i got ! Inspired buy the wheels you put on your TJ .. yep finally got some new wheels , they are made by “Vision” gunsmoke grey with black centers ,, i loved the way they looked on your jeep so got them for mine. Not the same wheel pattern but the same dark grey color. Normally $600 on sale for $500 oh yea baby will be at Firestone at 9am for install.
Hello
There is a lot of useful information on the Wrangler TJ model, so I subscribe to it.
Great video! Send me that radio I’ll put it in the sailboat! LoL. 😂
Thank you for supporting Goya 😀
Just found your channel! Also just got a 05 Jeep myself!! I’d be interested in the radio 😊
That's to funny.. just bought a jeep with the same radio. Made me giggle.
Love the video... more relatable than some overly rehearsed Jeep vids. Interested in the radio, does it have CD?
Awesome video. I would love to know where you got your phone holder that mounts on top of the dash. That's neat!
Me gusta mucho este canal
Lol the scissors in the back 😅
Secret Scissors at 5:20.
I hope you give us an update after owning this for a while. I owned a Boss Marine radio that would draw enough current while turned off that it would run my boat battery down in 3-4 weeks. (Drew 22 mA while off.) It was a hassle. I hope your SSL doesn’t draw that much!
I love this tailgate prop so it doesn’t close on me when in the back of the Jeep (American Outlaw GK-1 Gate Keeper for 87-06 Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ & Unlimited)
I see new Cats on the floor 😁
Nice!!
hoping that ill be chosen as a receiver of your old radio from the jeep, ill install it in my Boom box for my sound set up DIY.. just hoping it could reach my country Philippines her at Cavite city.. Nice job for ur DIY 2DIN car stereo.. Good job.. more reviews n more power to ur channel.. Keep safe.. God Bless
