SO after a couple hundred miles and a few fill ups I have everything settled and working and am getting about 16 MPG. Not bad for what it is, heck the Cherokee got about the same.

Working on odds and ends now until like tunes. Ordered some dash speakers and a radio adapter kit to run a single DIN radio (the 1.5 DIN from Retro sound is a bit too salty for me). Not sure I have the right adapter as I believe what was sent was intended to adapt a shaftless DIN into a stock shaft radio location (directions talk about cutting the dash).

Anyone install a single DIN radio in a 1.5 DIN space? What adapter kit did you use?
