1972 Jeep J4000 Gladiator

Post by jemoreno14 »

I’m new to the forum so I wanted to see if I could get any help in any type of restoration on 2 spoke steering wheels for my J4000. If anyone has any knowledge on this, I would appreciate sharing.

Thanks

If you look online, there are articles about repairing and restoring cracked plastic steering wheels. Mostly you fill the cracks with epoxy putty, and prime and paint. There are services that will do this for you, but they cater to the antique car crowd and I predict it will be $$.

I've always had my doubts about how long until the cracks open up again.
