"Loaner" steering wheel - 01 LC

[chrisratz]

I replaced my steering wheel with a new OEM wheel. If anyone is looking to send their wheel out to get recovered, I'll send you mine UPS ground, you can use it as a temporary wheel while yours is being recovered. Or you can pickup in Fresno, CA. No charge.

If there's a need for something like this on the forum, then maybe pass it on to another mudder once you're done with it.

Its from a 2001 land cruiser.

Very nice offer. I've got another vehicle so I can deal with my LC being out of commission for a little while. Incidentally, does anybody have a recommendation for somewhere on the East Coast that can recover a wheel?

You can purchase a simple puller from HF or most parts stores will loan you one. It's very simple and takes just a few minutes.

What's a new OEM wheel run? Mine's looking pretty ratty after 180k miles.

It was $700 shipped. I realize I could have had it recovered for less, but I didn't want to screw around with it.

I don't mind at all. I've received HUGE amounts of great info from the other members here.

Compliments of chrisratz , I now have the loaner steering wheel and have completed my steering wheel rejuvenation project. Next person who needs the wheel, send me a message and I'll gladly pay it forward.

Scott, what did you do to "rejuvenate" your steering wheel? I am looking to do this as well since my steering wheel is a little beat from 10 yrs. of California's rays.

Sent it to a place in Texas called Craft Customs. ( http://www.craftcustoms.com/)

Kathy charged me $250 plus shipping which I thought was pretty reasonable considering an OEM replacement unit runs around $700 and the removal/replacement of the leather came out very vice. I was glad to have the loaner steering wheel because it takes 3 days shipping there, a 3-4 days for them to re-wrap it, and then 3 days return shipping.

It may be time to do my wheel after Tony if it's in GA.

Good reminder for me to get mine done too. I was planning to use BBQ BOY's guy (posts 216-219): https://forum.ih8mud.com/showpost.php?p=8148308&postcount=216

Scott: Care to post up a photo of your's?

They did a wonderful job on my wheel. I was going on vacation, so I took it off and send it to them. They also did my shifter handle, also got the wheel with more padding awesome.

It would be my pleasure to hand it off to you when I'm done. It would be a good opportunity for me to meet another local MUD er as well.
