Can it be saved.... Removing the dash in a WRECKED Jeep SRT8

We are back to work on the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. With the engine in and running it's time to start working on the interior. While we wait on parts, we are going to see if we can save this dash or if we have to fork up even more money for a new one. Watch until the end to find out!

Why are u so nervous😂
A Melling 10452HV oil pump is the highest volume pump, this and high grade 5w-30 oil changed every 3,000 miles is the best way to go. I have just bought a Grand Cherokee 5.7, only 13,400 miles on it. I have ordered the pump from Summit. Lots of idling is what creates Hemi tick. The Melling 10452HV gives 20% extra oil volume, essential at idle.
Just a heads up you put the front seats on the wrong sides, the perforation for the airbag needs to be on the same side as the door not in the center
Are these universally fitting for most cars or one has to specify According to Make and model of the car,?
Universal for the most part, I believe Amazon has a compatibility checker or you can reach out to them and see if it fits
I hope you fixed it by now but you put the seat covers on the wrong seats. The airbag label goes on the outside because that's where it deploys.
Yeah I fixed it after I realized it. But thanks for checking! 👍
How much do they cost for a 2020 Rav4 and how much do you charge to install it?
Oh $165..... So how much for the installation?
Are these heavily padded for comfort or more to cover??
I wouldn't say heavily padded but there is some padding on the bottom and lumbar. It's mostly for coverage.
Bro.. send all of it.
This was a banger. Good job.
A buddy and a kinetic is all ya need 😂
I enjoyed that video. Were you running stock PSI? Props for turning back honestly. I know if you get some 37’s on that JT and it’ll cake walk it… at least that’s my theory I’ll try it this weekend 😂
We dropped to 15 I think. Overall it was a fun trail, good luck this weekend!
They are awful! The back seats and headrests are ridiculous as they look stupid with no cutouts for the seatbelt fixings and the head restraints that don’t cover them! I’ve just bought some German made leather look grey covers for my Mercedes A150 and I hope they fit a damn sight better than these do!
The seat cover looks really good, the headrest are ugly.
I agree, I wish the head rest covers were a tighter fit but the covers themselves are great.
Hell yeah ! Getting ready to do basically same repairs on my auction srt. How hard is it to take apart the dash?
The dash was not terrible with two people, I have a video of us taking it out, not super detailed but it could help. We also used the summit dash because it was 1/4 the price
Thank you
After watching this video I decided to return these seat covers and couldn't be happier with my decision!
You can breathe easy 😊
what did you get instead?
Got to stop smoking
I just ordered a set from Coverado for a similar sized car and I'm glad you posted this video so I can see how well the back seat-back coverage will be. This helps me plan my installation. Great video!
I tried this with my Nissan Maxima Platinum but couldn’t not get to the back of the fronts zero gravity seats.
to bad they don't sell mustang specific seats
Just used your discount code hopefully they fit good on my 13 tahoe 🤞🏼
Smells? How is the off gassing?
I don't notice any, especially 4 months in
Dose it make your back sweat?
No more than leather seats do. However I haven't had an Arizona summer yet 😂
@desertwrench Thanks for the fast reply. I'm in AZ as well I was debating whether to go sheepskin or you're kinda covers. I noticed the ones you have got some breathability. If I do go that route I will definitely get the style you got. BTW, thank you for taking the time to do a review of this brand seat covers.💪🏼
Thanks for the help! Great video!
I can't see how the elastic hooks into the plastic hook.
Around 3 minutes into the video is a close up
Good video, cheers
I've purchased similar and should arrive in a week or so, will be back to this video for pointers ;)
Good luck! It's been 4 months or so and I still enjoy them! Just make sure you keep track of what side has the airbag tag, someone in the comments pointed it out and I made sure to swap the 2 front seats
@@desertwrenchnice one. Thanks
Would be better if you could get them with no logo
Wouod they fit a truck ?
On amazon you should be able to put in your vehicle and it will let you know if it fits! Coverado has also been very responsive when I have questions so you can always reach out directly to them to double check
Did it yesterday in a 2020 4Runner on 33’s, but we did it in the opposite direction. High centered 3 times and had to winch myself out. Thankfully I had full skid plates or I might have not made it out. It was fun and really challenging but wouldn’t try this again by myself 😂
Yeah it was challenging for sure especially in that stock Tacoma, if we weren't on our way out at the end of the day we might have tried to go farther. !
You gotta start doing some cardio brother

To loose looking
I have been an automotive technicians for 19 years. I have owned my own shop for the past 11. I have done, hundred (if not thousands) of spark plugs on Hemi's. I have actually owned a 2012 RAM 1500 w/ 5.7L & a 2016 2500 w/ 6.4L & have never had a spark plug break inside the head, not have I ever seen it on a Hemi. Ford 5.4's it was very common, actually expected, but not on a hemi. Someone definitely over-tightened those spark plugs
It was definitely surprising, you expect it on 5.4's
Are these universal? Any idea if it’ll fit a 2023 Kia sportage?
Yes they are universal, I put your vehicle in on the Amazon link and it says it fits, you could also reach out to them to double/triple check if you want they have been very responsive with me.
Bro racing 😅
Way not Cheng oil pump??
How are they holding up after a few months of use?
So far they are awesome, still look the same as when I put them in. No complaints
There are better ones on amazon. The tops of the front seats have just 2 holes, cut exactly for the headrest posts. The holes fit snug around the cap above the hole. Others have the head rest cover velcroed closed for a custom look.
which ones exactly?
Just change the front tyres its no big deal
Tracking and alignment, the wheels are also likely low on pressure.
Yep..you correct..
User error
It's not tire rotation but the tire pressure that's the problem. They are under inflated. Because you live in Arizona, the desert can be freezing at night, and scorching heat during the day causes a great deal of tire pressure to change daily, and depending on when you drive, this could greatly affect your tire wear. I would suggest having your tires filled with nitrogen next time.
Have you figured out the front seat backs are switched yet? Airbag flaps are on the wrong side.
No I completely missed that thanks! I switched them over!
@@desertwrenchThe tags near the top on the side says 'airbag'. Plus, buy a headlight flashlight from harbor freight to see under the seats. About $3.00.
'PromoSM'
Bro I’ve got the same car but can’t figure out how to take out the back seat like you did. How’d you do it?
When I did it I pushed the cushion towards the back so I could stick a long flat head screwdriver where the metal brackets go into the plastic clips and pried that while pulling up. It took some trial and error but eventually got it
Your wife is beautiful 😍
I have power front seats. I can’t figure out what to hook the bottom seat of the front part to since it’s a lot of electrical cords underneath. Obviously I don’t want to connect to those with movement when sitting in the seat cushion or moving the seat with the power. Any guidance would be helpful. I have a 2021 Acura TLX if that helps at all. I can’t seem to find any installation videos of these similar seat covers on my car or similar or if I do they don’t show what I need to see or they don’t describe it.
I have power seats in the Cruze as well, you should have some type of bar going across the bottom where the seat cushion mounts to that you can connect the hooks.
so my car is a honda 2011 i ordered these i’m beige but on the driver side there’s a little arm rest how do i place the cover over that or around that :/
I would remove the arm rests and slide the seat cover over the top. Then you can make a hole for the bolt to go back through to reinstall the armrest. Or leave it off it's up to you.
Everything will run if you change enough parts...
Ordered the wrong one bro
Look pretty nice
Thanks! Been using them for a few days now and they are awesome, they fit really well and don't look like seat covers at all. I'm happy with them
