WJ steering wheel on a KJ

[teckman02]

could you take the steering wheel from a WJ and put it on a liberty... the reason i ask i want raido controls on the wheel. and i don't want to go out and buy some raido controls and mod my clock spring or go out and buy a clock spring with the hookups and have to mod my wheel.... i like the steering wheels from the grands and i think that it will be easyer to swap out the wheel and clock spring than than moding my wheel

Why not get one off a KJ that has radio controls on the wheel already?

I doubt it,why?

1-the splines may be different
2-the offset will most likely be different
3-must use the WJ clockspring and that may not be compatible with the KJ's SRS system,must use WJ airbag also.

Keep watching eBay/craigs whatever for Liberty Steering wheel with the radio controls. With small puller and ~1 hour time you are done. ( Know this because I've done it. )
