wooden steering wheel
Hy Jeep comunity,
I would like to say hello from Tirol / Austria / Europe, where Soft Top Wranglers like mine are very ununsual. Over the cold wintertime I want to pimp up my Jeep with some wooden parts. I would like to start with a nice old fashioned wooden steering wheel. Does anyone know, where I cold get one, that fits on a 2010 model. As next I plan to make continouous wooden armrests on the nice half doors and wooden top of the middle box between the seats.
Did anyone work with wooden apliations out- and inside at a wrangler ?
I am curious if there are some guys here, who woud share the passion for wood on cars.
hang loose,
Bernhard

Hi there! I also like wood (not in the Wrangler though), is very warm and elegant.
You may want to check with Nardi (a staple for classic wooden steering wheels) if they have a boss which matches the Chrysler/Jeep one (or you could have one made). Their site is nardi-personal (both companies are together). I fear they don't have any airbags though.
Another option is to adapt a steering wheel from another vehicle which is airbag compliant. I've seen wooden steering wheels in some Alfas (156 and 164/166).
For interior accents Mopar has some options (I just post an example):

For the armests and top of the cubby I fear there is nothing available, but you could fab your own.
