I've been wanting to buy an older Jeep for a longgg time and I recently decided to finally get one! In this video, I talk about why a Jeep would be someone's dream car and how I picked the Jeep I bought. I also show you how I got the Jeep ready for daily driving by replacing the sound system (head unit and speakers installation), restoring the seat cushion foam, and making a stirrup step so my wife can get in and out. I got my Dream Jeep, so now what will I dream about?!

Car Audio Install:
For car audio, I recommend using Crutchfield.com (not sponsored FYI, just really like them). They're who I've used for every car audio install I've done as they make it really easy to get all the parts you need for your specific vehicle. Pick your vehicle (make, model, year, and options) and their gear selector shows you products that fit your vehicle. Select your gear (head unit, speakers, etc.) and the installation parts (wiring adapters, dash trim, etc.) are included for free up to $50 and discounted if they are over that. They also have excellent customer support and make it as easy as possible to do a DIY car audio install, you can learn more here: https://www.crutchfield.com/About/Valueprops.aspx
