I had to remove the music for a bogus copyright claim... Sorry for the parts of the video without sound.

Ive been wanting to flock my dashboard for a long time, and my biggest fear was the process of pulling the dashboard. This video showed me that its nothing to be scared of.

Great vid! This was the video that came across that introduced me to your channel... I'm really glad it did! My 03 TJ has a bad core as well, and I found your vid very helpful... and especially so, since I know now that I do not have to totally remove the steering column and dash! Your channel has inspired me to clean up my own TJ in the next few months (now that I got my garage cleaned out!)

Yeah Bernie, I am always a little nervous when rolling the key over for the first time after installing the airbags lol. No accident yet. I have to make sure when plugging them in that the battery is disconnected. An arch is the best way to set on off accidentally! Thanks for watching!

@theslownorris7277 3 года назад

Hey Force Built, great video. I was wondering if the box could be pulled with totally removing the dash (and steering wheel/column). Your video answered that question well! Here's one more for you... I just need to replace the heater core, my AC if just fine. Is it possible, with enough patience, and maybe a few choice curse words, to just get the top off the box while it is in cab? (Saving one from having to drain and refill refrigerant) Jeep in my DD so I can take plenty of time.

@ForceBuilt 4 года назад

No, same windshield. I have to get a rear view mirror. The decal was in bad shape. It also reminded me of whoever had it before me and those are bad memories for JJ. I want the person who had it before me to park beside me one day and think "That's a nice Jeep!", not even knowing it used to be their Jeep! Thanks!

Hello I have a 02 tj with a 4.0 and I have a freon leak. I had dye refrigerant installed and still can't find the leak. I've heard the leak can be in the cabin. I would need to remove the dash board. You made it look easy to remove all that! lol

Yeah SuperCamacho81, It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Thanks for watching!!

@SuperCamacho81 4 года назад

@@ForceBuilt you think it can be the heater core or the evaporation core??

@ForceBuilt 4 года назад

@@SuperCamacho81 If the heater core is leaking, you will have antifreeze on the floor on the passengers side. That has nothing to do with the freon leaking out. Thanks.

Nice video! At 13:15 till 13:19 the main strong handle set in front of the dash board is missing like a miracle! How you did it, please? How can i do it without removing all the dash board like you did? Thank you!

@ForceBuilt 2 года назад

My airbag was missing at this time and comes apart differently that one that has an airbag installed. Sorry, I know this wasn't any help and not the info you were looking for. It can be done but the space is tight.

@dylanronayne7352 4 года назад

How many coats did you put on the air bag cover? Also is that pad like a steel wool pad? Or could you use a fine grit sandpaper?

@ForceBuilt 4 года назад

It is like a scotch brite pad except for body shops. Fine grit sandpaper will work too. I put about 3 coats on with the first coat pretty light. Hope this helps!

@barryh5463 5 месяцев назад

I just bought a 2002 TJ and the whole dash needs to be repainted. Most of the panels look easy to remove except for the airbag cover. Is the airbag cover easily removed too? By the way… Im down here in Wiggins, MS (just douth of Hattiesburg)

@ForceBuilt 5 месяцев назад

The airbag is the issue. My airbag was blown so it wasn't a problem for me. I did put an airbag back in. You can actually leave the cover on and tape off around it because, with the dash plastic off, the airbag cover is wide open. That is probably what I would do. Thanks for watching!

@austinwagner562 8 месяцев назад

Did you paint the majority of the dash still in the cab? It looks great. I'm in the process of refinishing mine as well and unsure if i should go ahead and take it all the way out.

@ForceBuilt 8 месяцев назад

No, I took it out. You can take the plastic off the dash and leave the frame in the cab. The only piece that will be aggravating will be the airbag but it's doable. You could easily just paint it inside the cab to paint that single piece. Thanks for watching

@krusherkid 4 года назад

I'm looking to put ac in my TJ that never had it. Do you think the dash can be reassembled without the heater box in place temporarily while waiting for parts?

Yes it can. The heater box is separate from the dash. Good luck!

@josephhayghe9244 3 года назад

Is there a certain way to unhook the heater core pipes from the engine pipes? That I’d where I am stuck.

@ForceBuilt 3 года назад

Ok, if you have A/C, there will be 4 pipes going into the firewall. If no A/C then just heater core pipes. Should be rubber hoses clamped to the heater core pipes. If it has been a while they can been hardened and brittle. Making them hard to remove. If it is the A/C lines you need to remove, there is a tool that you will have to use to unclip them(all metal pipe connection).

@josephhayghe9244 3 года назад

Ok I’m glad I didn’t just yank it it. Thank you, I’ll hit up auto-zone and get the proper tool for it.

Is there a petcock that allows you to drain just the heater core?

No. The hoses on the firewall are the only way. You can disconnect those hoses and tie them up. I didn't drain my radiator. Just the heater core.

@mauricio5763 3 года назад

My 97 tj 4cyl only blows air on the highest setting. And only from the dash vents. Is this a bad heater core? I need help, thanks.

@ForceBuilt 3 года назад

Most likely it is a bad resistor. High is full voltage and the resistor restricts the voltage to slow the fan motor. That is why it isn't working on anything but high. If your vent selector switch isn't moving the dash vents, you also most likely have a vacuum leak somewhere in the ac control system. There is a vacuum line under the hood at the firewall near the battery that is common to get cracked. Hope this helps. P.S. The problems you mentioned have nothing to do with the heater core.

@mauricio5763 3 года назад

So after spending some time searching I noticed that a vent door lever underneath the driver dash is broken. And on the passenger side underneath the connector to the resistor is burnt. The connected and a couple wires are melted. Any ideas what’s causes this to happen? Thanks.

@ForceBuilt 3 года назад

@@mauricio5763 Yes, this same thing was going on with mine. The melted wires on mine was from a worn out blower motor. I has too much resistance and everything gets hot and melty. Rock auto has all the parts for pretty cheap. I replaced the resistor and the blower motor(actually bout the resistor plug with wires too) put it all in and no more troubles. Hope this helps!

@jasonbarnes2636 3 года назад

I thought you can remove the whole thing without removing every parts like radio, dash, etc. 🤔

Not on mine. If the radio wires were long enough, you could leave that in(Mine were not). There was no other way I could do it on mine. I honestly don't see how it can be done any other way. Luckily the dash isn't that hard to remove in the Jeep TJ. Thanks!
