Re: How does TJ Cruise Control behave?
A Model T was the first motorized vehicle to make it from Silverton, over
Cinnamon Pass, to Lake City. There is a fellow in Silverton, who owns about
ten of them, in varying states of repair and restoration. This includes one
with an original snowmobile kit installed. It has a rear tag axle, a set of
chains that goes over both rear tires on each side, and skis where the front
wheels used to be.

Re: How does TJ Cruise Control behave?
You can get a rock crawling electronic hand throttle for the wrangler, but
it is expensive. I'll dig about and try to remember who makes it. Rubicon
Express did it the old fashioned way with no electronics and something which
looked suspiciously like a bicycle gear lever which attached to the gear
leaver.
