I recently bought one for one of my rigs. I was having a hard time trying to visualise hot to hook it up. If you have any pictures or useful links all help would be appreciated.

 

do you have a link to the one you picked up some mount to the steering wheel and some to the gear shift

 

I bought the one that mounts to the gear shift.

 

Look at your throttle body. There should be a cable (like on bicycles) coming to it that connects to your gas pedal. When you press the gas pedal, this cable is pulled and it opens the throttle body. The hand throttle uses the exact same setup so you have to set the hand throttle where you want it and then route the cable into the engine compartment alongside this throttle cable and hook it up. It's pretty simple really.

And of course some reading material to help you out:

I had one on my TJ but tore it out a few months later. I never really used it much.
