FJ80.....just looked to confirm

Mine’s from a ‘91 FJ80... I also paid $75 + shipping... I just installed it.

As @Tools R Us (thanks!) advised, you have to drill and plant two 1/8” roll pins, to cancel the turn signals. I drilled 1/2” deep and inserted two 1” roll pins, leaving 1/2” protruding.

You may also need to adjust the positive contact, I did. The FJ80 wheel’s contact track is about 3/16” wider than the FJ40 track.

I’m very pleased!! It looks and feels great... the smaller diameter and larger grip is much more comfortable!!

Here’s a pic... it’s not crooked, I was... my tools are carried under the seat, but right now they’re in the footwell.

Could you post a picture from the side to show how it looks against the clamshell cover on the column?

I poked a few parts guys. I have a lead on 2, maybe. If they are available I will pass the direct contact info on via PM.

Agree and still has the Cruiser look. All that I have done had power steering, don't know how it would be with manual.

I dunno... I wouldn’t have changed wheels if I had manual.

Here you go... I didn’t think I could get decent pictures tonight.

It's not a Toyta wheel, but I used a Grant wheel Part #1160 - Collectors Edition and adaptor. I think it has a 13.75 Diameter.
The "TEQ" horn I bought off ebay. I also have the Grant horn button that covers the mounting screws, just have not swapped it out yet.

Hi, what are those seat?

Those are Procar Elites. I have the XL version because I got a fat butt.

This is Nardi Torino steering wheel on 77 FJ 40View attachment 1510748 View attachment 1510749

That is one beautiful steering wheel. What is the OEM wheel size vs this Nardi? The horn in the middle correct?

One thing unique about the 8/80 thru the 94 Land Cruiser steering wheels in the US market they have Land Cruiser on them.

Anyone know what this steering wheel is? Is this a custom wheel?

Thanks. It had the center T, which I wasn’t sure if that was only a Land Cruiser thing or not. I came across that picture, but didnt recognize the steering wheel style.

My rig has PS and wanted a smaller steering wheel. I found, refurbished and installed an Toyota AE86 leather steering wheel.....but after a few months, went back to the larger OEM unit and installed a cheap wrap for it.
