Hi all! My biggest gripe with my 19 is the steering wheel looks and feels like sh*t! It peels so badly and I’m also really careful too. I’ve seen others here have the same issues.
Is a shop (or me) able to take the old leather off, and replace with something better? I still want to wood grain...
Steering wheel looked like Freddy Kruger's face. layers of grime old paint and deep cracks. Sanding .. sanding.. opening cracks.. filling with por 15 epoxy.. .. bondo red filler. Filler primer.. paint.. Wheel and column looking much better.. That was the side project while doing all the plumbing...
My steering wheel will slowly drift to the left over time (over the course of weeks) no matter what I've tried to keep it centered. The vehicle itself tracks straight but the steering wheel continues to slowly drift to the left. The previous owner took it to the Lexus dealership and they...
Hi all,
Replacing the clockspring in my 99 lx470 today as my horn and cruise control weren't working. Ordered OEM part, took off the cover and found the circled wire 'mounted' on the left side of the steering wheel with a clip.
In support of getting help, I've posted a pic of the clip...
On start up the steering makes this horrible whine. Doesn't make sound when turning, Motor seems to work fine, doesn't make sound while telescoping, just the up and down movements. Before I start digging in I wanted to reach out to the interwebs to see if anyone else has dealt with this.
The steering wheel is made by Toyota, a trusted brand known for its reliability and durability. This particular model does not have cruise control, but it still functions perfectly and is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a steering wheel that is both comfortable and easy to use. Made...
Had my alternator replaced today and when I went to pick up my LX, the steering wheel was really really high forward. So much so that it was hitting the plastic lower shroud of the column. When I tried to adjust it, it telescopes in and out fine but when I went down it didn’t go very far down...
Are there any companies or forum-folks who wrap OEM stock wheels with black leather? Looking to upgrade my '78 wheel as I'm making her more a daily driver. Thanks.
Good morning. I have a 115k original miles 80. Clean truck, great shape. I have had all the bushings and fluids replaced in it this summer as well as a tune up. I have an intermittent squeak in the cab that appears to be the steering wheel linkage itself in the cab--when in rotate the wheel...
On a recent trip in our 2020 LC I noticed a vibration in the steering wheel when coming down a mountain pass under moderate braking at +/-80mph. By moderate I mean approaching slower traffic and easing on the brakes to scrub some speed- nothing even close to a panic stop. The 200 is my...
My steering wheel looked like total a$$ and I was considering a rewrap. PO had put a cheapo cover over the wheel, and when I pulled that off it had further contributed to the damage to the leather. Significant abrasion showing the undyed leather, lots of little crosshatch marks from the cover...
Hi friends,
I've got a couple of 3 spoke 80 series steering wheels I need to recover. First for the Holy Truck, and then the Omani Diesel. I've been doing steering wheels every year or so for a while and I thought I would try something different this time--making my own pattern. I may...
Gday 80 series experts! I'm back with another newb question as I learn my way around this vehicle. This edition is about adding airbags to a non-airbag 1996 GXL.
I'm 99% sure my 3-spoke steering wheel has no airbag. I'm also 99% sure that some models of the 80 came with the chunky 4-spoke wheel...
I tried a search and after page 3 I gave up.
I’m an owner of a 2021 HE and now a 2005 Lx470.
The leather seats are pretty worn along with the steering wheel.
Would love recommendations for steering and leather seat covers!
Will enjoy slowing modding this lx470. Seats are wayyyyy more...
