I saw a joke in a thread the other day that was commenting on a column shift in an XJ and started thinking it might be a fun mod to eliminate the console section of my XJ. Of the three parts(shifter, Park brake, tcase shifter), the Park break appears to be a pretty easy swap from a Comanche. The column shifter appears to be reasonable except my jeep is a 95 so it has a newer column it looks like than the Comanches.
Regarding the column shifter, how hard might that be to adapt into my newer set up? I believe I could just swap the entire column in with steering wheel, but is there anyway to keep my current steering wheel? I like having cruise control and an air bag.
Regarding the tcase shifter. I have no idea how to get rid of that. Even in the Comanches they seem to leave it in the floor. I was thinking about using an electric motor for it. LIke they have in excursions or blazers, just a little button you push and it shifts into that gear.
Any thoughts on this? Its a long term project, just looking into possibility and the how and where of it all right now. Its definitely one of those "cause I can" things.
Thanks
