Warning!!! Don't do this if you like all the fancy safety shit on your JK! My Jeep is becoming more & more of a dedicated trail rig so I decided to install a new steering wheel. I did some research but couldn't find much. So experimented & found a NRG hub adapter that would fit the JK's. I thought that I would just be able to remove the cloak spring but unfortunately Jeep decided to build the Headlight, blinker, & windshield wiper controls into the Cloak Spring so removing it completely wasn't a option. I had to hack it up In order to get the hub adapter on which was kinda Fun. Anyways, it's a pretty straight forward install and I love the way it turned out. The downside is you won't have a horn, air bag, cruise control or any electronic traction controls. Lol Here's a couple of pics. Click image for larger version

My clockspring took a shit yesterday. I may just do this also. Is your airbag light on? What part number on the adapter? I want one i can pull the wheel off as i sit very close and most likely when i go bucket seats they will not slide front to back

You will have a glowing dash after the install! Lol Here's the part # for the short Hub. NRG SRK-170H. I used a 2.0 quick release but I think the 2.5 would've been better for easy on off action. The wheel is pretty small at 12.6" & at first it felt weird but I quickly got use to it & love the sportier feel.

I forgot to mention if you like your cruise control you'll have to do some fabrication to get it to work. Jeep wired the cruise control directly into the clock spring but it looks like there may be a way to wire it up directly. I'm gonna work on that next week.
