Installed srt-8 front seats.

[AcidCold]

First thing i noticed on the donor seats were the power connections, they have a much different harness than my 05 did so for the driver side i spliced and wired it without a problem.
The passenger side was a different story! my 05 has the air bag sensors and the donor seats didn't, not to mention that the connections were complicated and i didn't want to deploy my air bags, with that said, i just used the old bracket with everything on there (sensors and right connections) and got rid of the donor bracket with the new and different harness.
Everything works just fine and looks and feels like a total different WK! I love them, by far one of my favorite mods!

Here are a few pictures, the first one is of the splicing.

[Dylans3960ccs]

Ummm. . . are you going to get them re-covered?

[AcidCold]

Why would i recover? they're from a Jeep and they're on a Jeep.

[Dylans3960ccs]

cuz they don't match .

[AcidCold]

They will once i get my black carpet and rear leather kit. looking into a black center console with leather cover lid, then it will be a perfect match.

[Scottina06]

10000000000x more comfortable arent they Carlos?

[AcidCold]

Oooh yeah! i love the way they wrap around me! i feel loved! LOL very comfy.

[dreamer1213]

SRT seats are some of the most comfortable and supportive seats ever. All of the SRT seats, from the Grand Cherokee, to the 300, and Charger. I love them. :D

Great mod!!!!

Did you have a powered passenger side seat?

[AcidCold]

Did you have a powered passenger side seat?

Those seats are awesome, I tried them out in a 300C, they really are comfy!

Your plans for the rear seats, carpet and center console sound good too, look forward too seeing it completed. :)

[Scottina06]

[AcidCold]

Oh nooooo!! lol i will admit one thing, since i joined this site and viewed all these awesome street machines and there cool looking interiors and sound systems..
Well, you can say i been bitten by the bug! no more wheeling for me so i will be making this thing a street machine with offroad attitude!

[Scottina06]

[B.P.O.D]

[Scottina06]

thats sucks he sold the rear seats...he shoulda gave you first dibs on them....

[Redsand]

hmmm.....if those could somehow work in a ZJ, my wallet would be very upset with me

[AcidCold]

Thanks guys, drove it for the first time with those seats to work and WOW! i love my Jeep all over again!!

I am upset he sold the rear, called him and asked him for the carpet if it's black, not sure if Jeep made black carpet for the newer ones.

[AcidCold]

Found this WK on Ebay with black carpet, i forward the link to Corey from Justforjeeps.com so you can use the VIN to locate a replacement.

For those interested, i will keep you guys posted.

[tman4024]

Looking good Carlos, can't wait to see the rest of the interior done!

[NHWK05]

I would love to get my hands on a set of SRT seats and have my local shop re upholster them to match the dark khaki interior in my jeep.

[AcidCold]

Got a quote for the black carpet from JFJ,

Front Carpet - 1GL60XDVAB Retail $751.00 Sale $675.90

Cargo Load Floor Base - 5JP981DVAL Retail $640.00 Sale $576.00 (On Backorder)

Cargo Load Floor Lid - 5JY521DVAG Retail $414.00 Sale $372.60

That is a little more than i am willing to pay for carpet!! WOW LOL
I guess i will try the dye.

[Scottina06]

shew....call LKQ west michigan. They have quite a few 08-09 WK's

[NHWK05]

What happened to the guy you bought the seats from?

BTW, dont do the carpet dye. I used to work in an auto accessory/restoration shop, the carpet dye is junk and will wear off in high traffic areas. Just say no to any interior painting products(the only want to go is a professional body shop) Any parts or areas that are highly used will never hold up unless you send them off to a good body shop to be done.

[psycojeep]

Looks great I love the contrast
