FJ60 Steering Wheel upgrade (1 Viewer)

[Seth S]

Honestly if you find a nice looking well made wheel skin that fits the stock wheel well I think that would be a good option. There are a lot of crappy ones out there so might take some searching

When I bought my 62 17 years ago it had a smaller, wood steering wheel. Nice looking, but I replaced with proper FJ62 stock wheel.

I purchased a Leather Wheelskin about 10 years ago from here: Leather Steering Wheel Covers Manufacturer and Distributor
Still looks good.

I laced a smooth black wheelskin on my stock brown 60 wheel years ago, and when it stared to wear, I laced another identical one over top, so two layers of leather. Looks great, its about the perfect thickness for my grip, and it’s way warmer than stock in the winter!

searched Aussie door cards and it just comes back to this thread.

where did you get these door cards?

Still need to install the inner felts and new dark brown window cranks are on the way.

Anyone swapped a 60 wheel in to a 62? Love the 60’s classy three spoke.

I'll trade you if it's grey. I hate it when negotiating 3-point turns and accidentally bump the horn buttons scaring the hell out of myself while drawing attention..

I used a mid 80's Trueno Levin steering wheel. Does pull the steering wheel about two inches closer.

Two inches closer sounds perfect. Since this is Toyota also I imagine the spline interface is the same, and the indicator cancel still works?

 

[pandasfj]

Yes, all is the same but not the indicator cancel. I would have to probably drill out the cancel cylinder or (whatever you call it) to fit properly, for it to cancel out the indicator. But since I had an aftermarket indicator I bought as a spare, it had the right cancel cylinder. This fit just right with the Toyota indicator without any mod. From what I remember the Toyota cancel cylinder was brown in color and the aftermarket was white.
Here's a side view of the adapter.

 

[cheeese]

Good to know, curious what adapter you used @pandasfj ?

 

[pandasfj]

Well it's part of the steering wheel assembly, so I guess it's not an adapter. Here's a look inside.

What size is the wheel? I have an 83 60 but it’s in paint so I cant measure right now?

 

[Spike Strip]

I don't remember, it was 10 years ago.

There's an application guide on the website. I followed it and just picked a color. Fit fine and has lasted 10 year or more now in So Cal sun.
