Actually, I have 2.
I'm a little embarrassed to say how much parts I have, and the actual number of Jeeps I've owned.

That's awesome...and I agree it's the best looking wheel they made. I have one in my CJ5. The clear plastic cover on the horn button was cracked, and I don't even want to admit how much I paid to replace it. Totally worth it though...

Thank you so much. I agree with everyone it's the best of all the wheels and it was stock in my CJ7, slowly but surely trying to get it back to original with the exception of my chevy 350 conversion...not gonna change that.

The only one that I could find in excellent shape at the time was at J&W in CA. Cost me about $50 with shipping. But like I said...it was totally worth it for me.
That was for the whole horn button.

Holy-moly, that's beautiful! Did you do that yourself? If so, what are the chances you'd be able to make another? I could get my hands on some good looking myrtle burl...

Wrapped mine with paracord... Did the grab bar as well.
Much more comfortable now.

And I’m bettin it’s much warmer in cold weather than before.....
I’ve been looking for a couple donors for just that........ so chances are very good I’ll make a few more. The burl will have to be good and dry to minimize movement after the fact
