Thread: Jeep Wrangler Lilliput 7" Install

How easy was it to re-wire the dash to use just the car-pc & no head unit, also, have you had any issues with the pc being exposed & not in a case?

I already had an amplifier installed so I didn't use any wires in the dash. The only issue I have had with not using a case is pci cards coming loose after a big bump. Other than that no issues.

looks nice. im a little surprised you kept slapping on the dynatron until all the divets were gone... i think you life would have been much easier if you would have used a filler like bondo or something better for the small voids. the dynatron is more of a structural material, and the final surface is made much easier with a fine, easy to sand filler. just for those trying to do the same...

Thanks!! There were a few reasons I used the dynatron for the entire project. 1st, I used turbocad's step by step as guide & he stated that it could be used from start to finish. 2nd, I have never done this before so I have no experience. Lastly, I figured I spent $40 on dynatron & didn't even use a 1/4 of it After looking at nexon's stuff as well as others I realized that bondo would do the trick. Sooooo for my next install I'll know better

Thanks Nexson!!!! Coming from you that means a lot

yeah i mean, doing it like you did is actually better then using a filler on top... its just a lot harder. i can also see on the curved sides, its a little out of shape- and bondo could have easily made that perfectly smooth-shaped. but i hate when you work so hard on something and all people can do is find problems with it, so overall i say you did an excellent job (and i would say the same even if it wasn't your first time.)

Thanks trader. Yes, it's still out of shape in some spots I got to a point where I would fix one spot and then screw another spot up. I basically gave up and just left it alone and put it back in the dash. I must have had it out of the car 7 or 8 times!!!! Thanks again for the compliments.

I am very interested in putting a monitor in my Wrangler dash as well. Was it difficult? Was there much fabbing involved?
