SRT8 steering wheel and airbag....oh and Max again.....

I am very happy with my conversion....next will be the wheels and a cardata.com spoiler. The SRT8 steering wheel and airbag was so easy....and now I have radio controls on my steering wheel. Just a little hint to everyone...the Commander black airbag is the same as the SRT8. Good luck finding a used steering wheel though! Post your comments!

kramsay1234 04-10-2007, 09:32 PM thats great! questions: what exhaust is that and when do the rims arrive?
OurZoo 04-10-2007, 09:35 PM Nice work so far bud for sure! Hard for me to look at with those wheels. Get the new ones, FAST. Cute son, congrats!
sanscritt 04-11-2007, 07:08 AM I prepped the interior pieces myself and had a shop paint them exterior color.....cost $96 at the shop plus my high build primer and sand paper. Cheap mod.....
Looks really good:)
I did the same to my 03 GTP when I had it. It was silver with charcoal interior and I painted the interior pieces to match the outside. Did it all myself, total cost about $20 plus couple hours painting. Looked factory to the point that the dealership was asking if it was a special option group lol

maxxjeep 04-11-2007, 07:59 AM you could consider me fooled if I passed you on the street! Great work
banker 04-11-2007, 08:03 AM Anyone,
I have a new 2007 Grand Cherokee SRT8. I would like to add running boards, however the dealer says the running boards available don't fit a SRT8. Any suggestions where I can find any?

Why would you want running boards? :(
scottina06 04-11-2007, 01:34 PM That is Millineum fescue....my only secret is to use a mulching mower...I have a Cub Cadet push mower....also push mow it. Cut the grass tall...I have my mower set on 5. Dethatch in the early spring(use a rake) and add Scotts Halts and fertilizer.(kills crabgrass) 3-4 weeks later weeks later use 19-19-19 fertilizer. Test your soil once a year as well and add whats needed. Do not use contractors seed!!!! Use any fine turf fescue. But cut the grass tall!!!!
Please share more about what you do to your lawn. Thanks.
kramsay1234 04-11-2007, 01:37 PM Hey Scott - one other comment. On my black truck I have been waiting for warm whether to use blackout trim tape and make my chrome window mouldings black, but my truck is black.
On your red truck, I think you could use chrome window mouldings as the black seems to stand out. Just a thought.
scottina06 04-11-2007, 02:43 PM yeah....I want to do that maybe...but i would have to buy the mirrors because they have a different base.
AlexT 04-11-2007, 05:36 PM Beautiful house and beautiful truck. Great work there!

El Jefe 04-11-2007, 05:41 PM Very nice job! That grass is fake....jk!
scottina06 04-15-2007, 10:44 PM sometims I wish it were fake....that way I wouldnt have to mow it
ctsrt8 04-16-2007, 11:28 AM why not just buy the srt8? 4.7 cant have any balls, does it? besides how many people are telling stories of how the dusted an srt8 now?lol, seriously, it looks good.
scottina06 04-16-2007, 12:01 PM even with these mods and adding wheels I will save close to $20K over an srt. Plus insurance etc. PLUS...I DO NOT RACE ANYONE!!!! Most of the time I have my 22 month old toddler with me...that wouldnt be cool. There are no srt badges or wheels.....just the bumpers....thats it. I live in a small town of 12000.....No one around here knows what an srt8 is anyways!
yooperone 04-20-2007, 09:10 AM Looks great Scott
I am getting lots of Ideas for mine from you.
probably won't go quite as far as you but want to make my 05 something special to look at.
I too live in a small town of about 5000 and no one here knows what an SRT8 is.....:D
wanabsrt 05-18-2007, 03:22 PM how was it putting the srt exhaust on the truck??
did it bolt up on u had to have special hangers and pipes bent to make it work
scottina06 05-19-2007, 06:28 AM an exhaust shop had to custom fabricate all
awdrocks 05-19-2007, 09:18 AM an exhaust shop had to custom fabricate all
