My buddy just got an '08 for Christmas from his parents (lucky bastard). He looked it up, and it's supposed to run a 15.2 quarter mile, and riding in it sure feels like it, too. That ain't bad for an SUV!

I had that style jeep, i really miss it. The seats honestly feel like its a lazyboy chair. Decent sound system, i tapped into the signal and added one 12" sub making it sound like there was a system in the car.

You tapped in to what signal? I've installed probably 20 systems (4 for competition) and I have no idea what you're talking about.

I simply tapped into one of the signals for a speaker with an rca adapter, added an amp and put the sub in her.

For someone thats into competitions systems, hearing that someone did that probably makes you go "" , but for what i was looking for it worked great for me and ran maybe 100 bucks ( already had the sub and box )
