In this case, I think it's a "crap borrowed from GM" thing...which, through much of the 1980s, was a "Jeep thing" by extension.

See, just takes time and a lot of patience.

Getting a set of CF stickers is easy. Click on User CP. Go to Miscellaneous section and clip on paid subscriptions. I believe it is $25 for a year, now. You get your stickers along with a few other CF goodies on your profile. The blue lettering, CF supporter banner, etc.

Search and I shall find that I have a mess on my hands! After looking at both Travis's write up and Free's link and reading how it took over 5 hours to do this... Is there a easier way to do this? GGGRrrrrr! This all sounds soo scary!

Its really easy I've done two of them one in the car the other I pulled the colunm out due to other problems. The tilt pins can be a pain sometimes to get out, the springs are easy you get a 1/4 flathead push and twist and it pops out. I can usually start to Dinah one in about 30/45 Mins but I can also get into a ignition switch in 5 Mins.
