Need help lost jeep keys
 
I want to run push button start in my jeep for it will be cheaper then buying dealer parts to replace ingnition along with buying new keys so my question is I lost my only set of keys my xj and everything I keep finding requires a key to turn the jeep and then the button turns it over I would like to take the key completely out if the equation and just run a fuel pump switch, a ignition switch, and a starter switch can I do this and how so

Why not have a locksmith cut you new keys for it ?Jeeps are already easy to steal and you want to make it easier?

The key locks the steering wheel in place. Even if you were to hotwire it, you'd still have to deal with that.

BTW my ignition cylinder is so worn that I can start my jeep with a honda key

IF you were to do it a way around the steering wheel lock is to just put a pin or bold in place of the rod that comes out of the piston. Plus if you make it removable then you an anti-theft device.
