you need a single DIN/one and a half DIN adapter plate. I have one in my Power Wagon since I got a sony single DIN CD player in mine. You should be able to find one at any car stereo shop, just tell them you need a Mopar one and a half DIN adapter plate for your Kenwood. It is a single DIN mount style, isn't it? That is what my Sony is.

I like the way the radio sits in there. How does it mount in and whats it called if you know?

Cardomain no longer carries them. It is a Metra model 99-6000 Radio Install Kit. Her is a link for Shopzilla.com.

http://www.shopzilla.com/metra-99-6000-radio-install-kit/534090680/compare

Comes with good install instructions.

How does it mount inside the dash bezel? lol did you have to drill out any holes or modify anything?

No drilling, You just have to break off a couple of tabs on adapter which are not used on truck. It uses same mounting screws as factory radio.
