CJ Jeep Radio Size?
 
Here's one for ya'. I got a '76 CJ-7 and want to put a radio in it.
(Okay, Bill I know "Real Jeep's don't have radios! Haha! Just gotta stir
the pot.)
But does anybody still make 'em? What's the style of radio head? Just
don't know what to search for on the net. I've got a radio from a Comet but
it's still too big and the only other box I got's a Roadmaster, which is
fine in terms of quality. Other than that, what'd you do for a stereo?
Drink

Hi James,
If you go fifty miles from nowhere like have to, here in Southern
California to go off road, you'll find the old AM radio will be the only
until that works. Try for a space under the seats.

Re: CJ Jeep Radio Size?
 
Bill! Are you serious?

1.) There are lots of radio opportunities around here. Even in the desert.
2.) He has a standard radio cut out in the dash for any of the off-the-shelf
head units on the market today.
3.) Assuming trouble getting a radio station in the middle of nowhere, it is
next to impossible to NOT find a radio today that is without a cassette or
CD.

I would NEVER put a radio where I could not see and operate the controls
EASILY.

You didn't even mention your satellite radio. Trucker's use AM on

This is supposed to fit your '76 '7. I've bought a bunch of stuff here
with no problems.

I'd recommend finding a radio you want then cutting your dash to size.
If cutting your dash is not an option, there are a number center
consoles that have space for a stereo. Just make sure the stereo can
handle the moisture content present in most CJs.

My Scrambler switches to a bikini top in the summer, so after burning
about about four radios (for the price of one - that'll teach 'em to
sell me an extend warranty at Sears :), I went to Cabelas and bought a
Kenwood marine radio. It's about five years old now, and has been
through high water and rain. It rarely skips, even off road. The only
problem is that the CD eject mechanism now sometimes needs a little
help (not bad for its age and abuse). Marine radios costs quite a bit
more than a feature equivalent non-marine stereo, but I'll never put a
non-marine stereo in my Scrambler again.

There's actually a fair aftermarket available for 'classic' car radios.
Check out http://www.customautosound.com/

Sometimes you can find old radios on Ebay. That's where I picked up an AMC
in-dash AM/FM/CB radio for my old '79 CJ7.

My 86's dash has a template inserted to fit a "Jeep" radio. With this
removed, I have a rectangle hole that fits a standard single height push
in radio. The kind you insert the box frame into the dash and slide the
radio into the box frame that they sell as a standard size at any stereo
shop. I have a removable face stereo installed that my wife picked up
off the shelf.

I also have bought radios that insert directly to the dash. The kind
that come with various templates to fit various holes.

The XM was never used in the Jeep, not that that matters. I'm pretty sure
truckers are using satellite these days, and a relative few of them rely on
the AM band. But, that is beside the point. The OP has a standard size hole
in his dash that will accomodate any standard radio, including those with a
built in CD or cassette.

Re: CJ Jeep Radio Size?
 
The XM was never used in the Jeep, not that that matters. I'm pretty sure
truckers are using satellite these days, and a relative few of them rely on
the AM band. But, that is beside the point. The OP has a standard size hole
in his dash that will accomodate any standard radio, including those with a
built in CD or cassette.

Actually, he doesn't - but nothing a hacksaw (metal blade on a jigsaw) can't
rectify .... it's a 5 minute job which not only opens the dash hole, but
opens up infinitely more possibilities wrt products which can be 'fitted'
