    Steering column housing

    Do any of you know if the steering column housing is available in the aftermarket? Mine is just worn out and I’d like to replace it but can’t find a listing for it in any parts catalogs or online. I don’t want to replace the entire column just the part that the ignition switch fits into.

    I've been having conversations with my 15y.o. son Jake about his first vehicle. I told him that since money is an issue we need to figure out what he wants to drive and start building it now. He decided he wanted a Jeep, but not a Scrambler...After further discussion, it was determined that he...
