I have a grant steering wheel I want to put on my jeep, it's a 1999, grant does not make the wheel adapter due to the air bag.
Is there any other way to be able to use this wheel?
Rather than fab something up my self?
Somebody must have grant wheels in there rig
It is only a trail rig so thats why I'm not worried about loosing the air bag.

You probably won't find any adapters due to the air bag issue, no manufacturer would want the liability. Probably have to build one yourself.

You definitely won't find an adapter for a Grant wheel to fit an airbag equipped vehicle. I have an older wood Grant wheel that is magnificent I saved out of my '86 Bronco II and would love to install in my Jeep. It's just not happening. No argument that the only way it would be possible is to fabricate a mount.

I found an adapter
Momo makes one part#2401
Then you have to buy another adapter from grant
To adapt to the momo adapter

Some times the adapter for a older model will work, they just don't list the new models be cause they do not want you to take the air bag off.

I thought removing an airbag was a big "no-no"?

Even off road the airbag may save you - it's not just for street use.
Rolls, endo's, backflips, etc happen more often than in the street..

No the grant hub will not fit. it's 5 bolt.
But check momo part#2401 I know it is for a 6 bolt steering wheel

hey webb, i have a follow up question. i went ahead and purchased the momo #2401 kit but it doesnt fit my steering shaft. the back of the hub is too wide and it rubs against the plastic tabs coming out of the clock spring assembly. did you have any issues with yours? did yours slide right in? i have a 99 as well

Do not remove airbag if you intend using your jeep on the street. that being said I would not have it activated if I was doing any serious off road driving. I don't want a busted nose/arms from a 200 mph "bag" because I bumped a sensor on the front bumper. If I want to get frisky off road, I will get better belts, and a brain bucket.

Like I said I used the grant hub, I have a grant wheel I'm not sure what the momo hub looks like but I pulled the tabs and clock spring out to install it. With the hub in the signal light cancel will not work so you manually have to shut your signal lights off.
