I need some recommendations for adding cruise control to my 2000 Wrangler
w/auto/air/6 cyl. Would I be better off to add the factory cruise or are
their some good alternatives form other sources such as JC Whitney? Any
personal experiences with the installation of factory or alternatives?

2000 Wrangler Sport
2000 Nissan Xterra SE

 

I found that getting the steering wheel off was a real pain, but the rest
was done in 1.5 hours and was very simple - no drilling required and it
works great.

On my 99 SE it was a plug in affair as it was all prewired. No drilling and
no problems. I would recommend the factory cruise.
