Agreed! Nice pics... and it will help many Jeep and Chevy/GMC owners since the columns are pretty much the same.

Already experienced this proceedure lol. Or should I say struggled lol. excellant pix. should be very helpful for the next guy looking to redo his column. Slight pointer if i may add.......make sure wheels are perfectly straight when beginning the teardown,so that way you dont end up like what i did & have your steering wheel about 20-30 degrees off with the wheels straight. My Jeep horn Logo always points toward the drivers side headlight when my wheels are straight. I never get used to it.

If the tilt bolts are loose (there are 4 of them) the wheel/column will wobble and feel like it's gonna come off, you're gonna have to go a lot farther. The same as GM tilt columns. Done many of them. If help needed let me know but I don't know if there is enough space to put all of the pictures and it takes a couple of special tools (inexpesive) and at least 2 hours. Not rocket science but a little tedious. P.S. 2 tachs? LOL!
