Ignition lock cylinder ripped out when jeep stolen
My 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport was stolen and recovered with the ignition ripped out (picture attached to this post). The top and bottom shroud are a little busted but I can drive the car by starting it with a flathead screwdriver. It steers fine. Do I just need to replace the ignition lock cylinder with a new one if I don't care about the shroud?
Suggestions? Can I do this pretty easily myself?

This happened to me when my jeep was stolen, and fixing one is so complicated, and may not be possible, or worth it. You're better off finding a good one in a junkyard for $45.00.

general question
so I have been taking detailed pictures of the entire steering column replacement project (which I plan on posting once finished) I am doing, and running into one issue:
So I've gotten into the guts of my steering column and i am preparing to remove the "steering coupler bolt". However, I'm not sure if this is the correct bolt.
Is the rusty bolt going through the white plastic spacers pictured below, the "steering coupler bolt" on my used column, that I need to remove on the old column in my jeep?

I feel like the "steering coupler bolt" is actually the 2 bolts on that hold the column in on the black bracket picture above surrounding this area. There is one on the left and right side for this bracket but the factory service manual and instructions only refer to 1 bolt. Herein lies my confusion.
