Hey Hunty. You should change the JEEP badge to a black one. Would set it off nicely.
Also have you done a write up on that air suspension you got running under ya rig? I didnt have a chance to quiz you bout it the other weekend at stockton.

oh I'm hearing ya mate, I'm currently 21l per 100 with 35s 488s with rack and led bar, heard others are getting way below that with 488s and 35s so thought it might have something to do with the resistance up top, might have a bit of a play around and see if I can lower this fuel Eco on my fuel guzzling beast

Cruise control not working?
Airbag light and chime driving you crazy?

You most likely have a worn / broken clock spring!

Step 1
Buy a new CS from Amazon, Ebay or wherever. I got mine from Amazon for fraction of Jeep AU price.

Step 2
Straighten the steering wheel.
Disconnect the battery, I did because I absolutely did not want to accidentally set off the airbag - didnt fancy a screwdriver in my forehead, some may say it would be an improvement LoL
The only tools you will need are
a long T20 torx driver,
philips head screw driver
bend yourself a special flat blade screw driver
Socket, ext and driver - to loosen the nut behind the wheel - Not the Jeep enthusiast LoL

Step 3
Remove the plastic panels around the steering column by removing the 3x T20 screws (underneath the wheel, 1 is silver and visible and 2 black ones are hidden)

Step 4

Remove the Horn button / Drivers airbag
by using the bent screwdriver to gently pry / lever off the cast steering wheel hub 3x U shaped spring clips (they remain attached to the Airbag / Horn - when you spring the 3rd one be ready to catch the Airbag / horn and unplug it.

Step 5
Disconnect the white plug at TDC and remove the centre bolt that holds the steering wheel. Pull the wheel off - I didnt use a puller (some say I have expert pulling skills) just a big grunt LoL

Step 6
Remove the blinker stalk by removing 1x Philips head screw (on the left side) and unplug it.

Step 7
Remove the Headlight stalk, 1 x Philips screw (on the right side) and unplug.

Step 8
Remove all the plugs from the old CS.

Step 9
Remove the 2 silver torx behind the old CS and 1 silver torx screw near the IGnition Key Hole and gently pull off the old Clock Spring.

Step 10
Replace CS with new one - leave the yellow CS lock in place until you have put the steering wheel back on and tightened the centre bolt.

I hope you guys find this useful and it saves you some cash
cheers Hunty
