The guys over at VetteMod have a nice thread on the Jeep Grand Cherokee steering box modification - it's a fun read.
I'm going to be ordering a set of adapters be made, and I was wondering if there is any interest in a group order.
At the bottom of this post are a couple of pictures that show how the modification works.
BBShark has even created a dxf file that can be used by a fabrication shop to create the adapters necessary for this mod. I sent the DXF file to a place by me that does waterjet fabrication (www.sanmarcoswaterjet.com) - and here's what I got back.
Here is a machined Jeep box, with the adpaters/bolts/spacers required.
Notice there is some machining work required on the jeep box. But not much, and should be ~$75.

I don't know how competitive that price is, but it doesn't seem unreasonable. I then asked if some of that was setup, and what it might be for a multiple set order - I then got this.Qty 1 set – 2 steering adapter plates, from 1/2" thick mild steel, with (4) .500” holes and (3) 7/16-20 tapped holes
$91.92 set – material, cutting, and tapping
If it looks like others will join, I will wait and put in my order on Feb 14th.Yes, part of that is setup. If you ordered 5 sets, I could get the price closer to $50.00 / set (not including tax).
