    Need steering column horn parts

    I'm looking for horn parts for my 1976 CJ5. I pulled the not apart and replaced my directional !right switch. I found out the pin that connects the horn contact ring is missing and the former steel cup that forms the horn button outsides is cracked. Any hints for getting replacement parts?

    Anyone out there daily drive a cj7 or cj5

    To me a Jeep is a very personal experience. Driven CJs since 1968. My first one was a CJ3 with a 4 cyl. My favorite was a 1968 with a V6. That V6 had torque galore, probably the best combination made. All the rest were 258 straight 6s but I had buddies with V8s. My personal preference has been...

    Is there a way to determine the actual date my CJ was manufactured??

    thank you for responding to my question. Yes, but I knew about the VIN number well before I asked the question. This is 9th jeep I've owned and while the VIN number does give you a lot of information it only gives you the model year not the actual day, month and year the vehicle was...

    Is there a way to determine the actual date my CJ was manufactured??

    Thanks but the VIN uber only gives you the model year. My dealer is totally worthless, I have a hard time getting parts through them :), I believe I have the issue under control and you are right the SMOG label indicates that there is only an EGR valve and nothing else. Thanks for your help!
