Default Changing the steering wheel

Hello guys,
Is there any adapters to change the wheel to a Grant style wheel for my Jeep XJ 98 GCC spec? Thanks in advance.

Yes there are a few wheels that will swap on there. You have to use the airbag the goes with that steering wheel and the cruise control buttons may need to be modified to work with your jeep.

If something is wrong with your current steering wheel I would replace with another stock one from the JY, not an aftermarket many of which were not designed to take the impact of a crash during crash testing.


That along with the fact everything will work properly with a stock wheel.

I don't know about the op, but I'm curious what else will swap on and work with the clock spring and everything for my overland build. I could put on a "new" Cherokee wheel or wrap one with tape or cord but I'd rather have something completely different if it's possible. I saw someone use a wj wheel and it sparked the curiosity as to what all was involved
