Re: Anyone replaced their steering wheel?

I have changed mine. I changed mine since the car is new, so I have a brand new one in black leather sitting in the garage gathering dust........

How much do you want for your dust gatherer?

Oi McBain
surely, the old story when the ash tray's full, get a new car...
same argument... when the steering wheel's worn, must justify getting a new car!
You lucky bugger!

Ha! yeah.. i'm not sure that would go down so well! i'm under significant pressure to upgrade the wife's car first! though i wonder if two prado's would be overkill!

Easily fixed, get a full interior fit out.

Overkill maybe, but don't let that stop you!

Re: Anyone replaced their steering wheel?

I've got the same problem but mine is nearly half the steering wheel worn. Even the raised joins are almost worn flush.
I have looked at the AutoBarn etc aftermarket covers but they only seem to cover the outside and leave a large gap on the inside which is unsightly and uncomfortable.
If I can get a second hand one from a wreckers, how hard is it to fit? Aren't airbags scary things to work with ? Does it have to be a Prado wheel. Would any old Toyota wheel fit ?
Do you have an update McBain ?

cheers

Just replaced my imitation lambswool steering wheel cover with a 15" R.M. Williams leather cover for $25.

Bought it at Autobarn on Gold Coast

It was a tight fit but looks good.

The fit looks good there Pedro...! Did they have any without the print...? ;-)

Real leather - for 25 bucks?

Deeptank,
Only saw the one with the print , but check out

I paid $14 for my previous imitation woolskin cover and reckon this one is real good value.

The 15" is the one I bought .
