Re: hey bro's...cruise control help
What about a hand throttle? You could make that outta a few bucks in bike
parts. It's also helpful on the trails (in a manual at least)

Re: hey bro's...cruise control help
Trailboss,
I installed a Rostra electric cruise control in may 97 TJ back in June of
this year.
I researched them and Rostra looked to be the best aftermarket unit.
I bought it at: http://www.brandondist.com/products/cruise.htm
Even though I'm in Louisiana these guys seemed like a good outfit.
They answered the phone on a Saturday morning when I decided to order it.
They shipped it right away.
I got the P/N 2501223 Cruise Control Unit and
P/N 2503421 Control Lever.
$177 Total
I've been real happy with it. One of the better things I've done to the
Jeep.
Hardest part about the install is finding the right wires to connect to on
the TJ.
I have a factory service manual which I think was a life saver here.
If you get this unit and get stumped during the install I'll be around here.

You can still get the factory units. I just got one for my '00 XJ. They also
have the kits for TJ. A little pricey, but installation is a snap since you
don't have to cut and splice.
