02 Jeep Grand Cherokee Build (AKA Project Silent Night) Mechman, Neo Slow


Recommended Posts

I used carriage bolts in place of the plastic clips to hold the bottom of the panel to the door. I wanted to do threaded rod but most of the places I could go through theres a void or something behind the door skin.

Alright drumroll please.... Finished and installed.I also put more deadener on the doors before installing as I felt they were going to need it.

Tight fit

Oh also I got the interior put back in. Couldn't call this build project silent night without a little ECD Customs Galaxy Wrap. If it doesn't look familiar it's from the same company the did the Galaxy Max Duramax. I put a couple wrinkles in it when installing but for the most part they're hid by the passenger seat thankfully. 

Trim panels and vinyl on.

Seats and everything else in place

Galaxy Max because it's awesome and I can't not share it.

So essentially I'm in the home stretch. I need to install all of my fuses, clean all the dust and such up and I need to tune my amps. I think that's it, I think the roof may need more vibraflex but we will see. There is a show this weekend so I'm definitely going to try and go.

Alright so I kind of finished the Jeep enough to go to a show this weekend. I got everything fused and my voltage would not charge where it needed to be. I think it's because I'm trying to run two alts off of one regulator. So for the show I elected to run down an alt, last night I ordered another regulator I will have to install it by the 15th. At the show I had a couple issues out of the gate, first of all it wasn't loud enough. So we bumped up the gains and re-gain matched them all. Secondly the electric fan under the hood wouldn't turn on. So I ended up wiring it straight to the battery and disconnecting it when the Jeep wasn't running. I plan to put it on a switch. Overall I think the show was a success I had a lot of fun and the Jeep got a good amount of compliments. 

Oh also someone was kind enough to meter it for me. I did a 58 legal on the dash at 42 Hz and a 54 drivers door open on the dash at 28 Hz. I think it has great range it might not be a subsonic machine but it will definitely choke you up. I got a demo in my own passenger seat and it definitely hurts. It will be interesting to see if I can gain anything with the second alt up and running.

So goals for the next two weeks include finding space for the second external regulator under the hood, wiring it up, wiring the fan to the toggle switch, and welding up a brace for the roof/windshield (I need to get the steel tubing for it).

Trying to upload some videos that Alec sent me from his snapchat story I have some stories I would like to try and splice together but I've never tried it before. If you click on them it takes you to Flickr and can play them.

Well long time no update so I'll share some things that have happened to the Jeep. Haven't been back on the meter don't really care about it. The show I did go to this year was shut down. She's ready for slam though.

Expanded the space where I mounted my fuse holder under the hood to accommodate a second external regulator.

Improved the strength of the roof and did a stripper pole.

glad I checked this log out. I was about to use hex bolts for my door panel exactly like yours. All factory holes are perfect for 1/4" anything. But I also want to put a moisture barrier in. Will be tight with a panel in place. 

Storing the carriage bolt idea in my noggin, was about to just put factory panels back in and run my kick panels collecting dust...
