which radio to buy for my TJ??
I got the Sirius radio for my gf at christmas, she drives a 2000 TJ.
I put the antennae on the front windshield wiper cowl, right in front of the driver's side. I also used the suction cup window mount, but I'm going to design a little console for the inside for it... Not many places for the thing to fit really in the cab that I know of. Pretty easy to install the thing. There's a signal indicator for satellite and what I think is land towers/antennas (terra). I could pick up a signal with the antennae on top of the speaker box, under the soft top, but the signal was somewhat weak, but there for sure. Now if you care about such things, Sirius is going to have Howard Stern, not XM. I don't listen to him anyways but she says she does. It's pretty cool though, great not to have commercials but there's the occasional station identification, only lasts a couple seconds tho. Troy |

I have an XM SkyFi in my TJ, I put the antenna on the roll bar and it works
great through the hardtop. Sirius vs. XM is more a choice of taste: XM has NASCAR (for now), MLB, and NCAA football, where Sirius has Howard Stern, NFL and NHL. I will move to Sirius in 2007 with NASCAR (yes, I am a red-neck NASCAR fan, GO 48!). -- JimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID, HEI 4.56 Gears, Lock-Right F&R 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, D30 Front.

I also got Sirius for Xmas. I mounted the antenna with velcro to the
dash of my YJ. It works, but sometimes takes 5 min of "aquiring signal" before it works consistantly. Is that because it is inside the Jeep or due to my location? If mounting the antenna to the hood makes it work instantly, id be willing to give that a try. CTM |

Not to hi-jack this thread but, Indeed! Those are 35" BFG's drowning in
that pool! When I eased off, I still hit my right rear corner and tail light. Quite a ride down that creek! Here is some recent pics from the same area... unfortunately I did not attend this day: http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrow...lected=1564038 JimG "billy ray" wrote in message ... > > Jim, > > Please tell us about the water adventure ride pix you have posted on > Frappr! > |

Sorry for hijacking the thread too, blame my hubby, he pointed it out.
DANG! They are really tearing stuff up! Looks like all of those rigs have been turned into thrashers. Thanks for telling us abotut the water pic, I was curious too. But ON topic... I have the Sirius and I like it pretty well, I don't listen to sports of ANY kind, but the music selection is good. My KJ came equipped with it.

Get NASCAR, Oh yea! Live broadcast of every race! Will they move to
Sirius... that's what I hear... I hope XM finds a way to keep it though. I have invested in lots of hardware for XM. http://electronics.howstuffworks.com...adio-comp4.htm JimG "J. Sprauer" wrote in message ... > 48 & 24 !!!! i didnt know you could get nascar so they will be on sirius in > 07? > > |

<continue hi-jack>
Yep... those guys with the XJ's used to have nice CJ's and YJ's, but sold out and picked up the bangers to give it h$LL! I must admit... there is some attraction to that way of thinking. <end hi-jack> JimG "KJ.Kate" wrote in message ... > Sorry for hijacking the thread too, blame my hubby, he pointed it out. > DANG! > They are really tearing stuff up! > Looks like all of those rigs have been turned into thrashers. > |
