Excellent! I guess I’ll be ordering switches and the harness soon.

Great work and thanks for being the Guinea pig!

Great work! I assume this wheel comes in a few varieties based on trim or options, such as Rubicon red stitching or a heated option? It would be cool to get a list of the various versions crowd-sourced together. I suspect this is going to be a really popular swap!

The wheel that’s designed to fit the shifters only comes in one version: the Wrangler 392 model with the bronze stitching.

This is where I got mine, they shipped the steering wheel and wiring surprisingly fast https://www.bamwholesaleparts.com/oem-parts/mopar-steering-wheel-7fd41tx7aa

The paddle shifters took about a week or so

Wait this wheel is only $230 for a 392?

How much are you in for all parts. Might be worth whole.

I ordered all of it and guessed on the covers 6DQ32TX7AB

This is awesome. I miss the chonky feel of the steering that was in my SRT Grand Cherokee and was debating to try and adapt one of those to the Gladiator. I'll probably order the wheel and send it off for restitching so it will match my interior.

So there is more to it than paddles, wheel and harness?

There is some covers for the screws to mount the controls, not a huge deal, but hey we are going for factory awesome right ?

Oh I will def want the covers for a factory look. I look forward to seeing if yours work for you.

Got my stuff coming......it is all available 3 days out. Shouldn't be long before Jeep figures out what we are doing and increases the price. Demand will put it on backorder.

This mod should make towing heavier loads in the mountains more pleasurable.

I am hoping in a year or 2 there will be a aftermarket suppler that offers the paddles, my hope is someone will do a slightly different paddle mold to work with the stock steering wheel.

By chance are these the same padles use in other models like the charger?
Hopefully there is a parts bin design for this setup.

From OPs picture, they don't match the ones that were in my 2017 SRT Grand Cherokee. That's not to say they don't match other models.

Can someone post everything we need to do this mod? I def want to try this. I have a 22 Mojave and the steering wheel is pretty beefy and sporty. Will the 392 wheel make a difference ? If not then I don’t want to waste the money.

I guess first step is to inventory all the mopar shifters then see if any fit in OEM steering wheel.

If you're looking for opinions, I think your steering wheel is chonkier than the Rubicon one I have, so I don't think you'll gain much in the form of a thicker wheel based on OP's pics, you would just gain paddle shifters.
