Installing Double DIN Radio in Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ

Installing a Double DIN (2 DIN) Radio in a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WJ)

The WJ Jeep Grand Cherokee came with a 1.5 DIN head unit making it extremely difficult to replace the radio with a standard 2 DIN unit. I installed a shallow mounting Alpine iLX-W650.
