Leather steering wheel cover recommendations for FJ62

[Casey914]

Finally got a wheel that isn't coming apart but the plastic/rubber is very smooth. Has anyone installed a leather cover on an FJ62 wheel and can recommend a color and brand? I have the Grey/Blue interior.

Thanks,
Casey

I am a leather worker, I am planing on covering my steering wheel in leather, but I am getting passive agressively evicted (rent is getting doubled) from my space so It might be a month or two before I get a chance to the project on mine... I will post pictures when i get to it.

Wheelskins out of Berkeley, Ca is a reputable company. I have their product on my Tacoma and 60, lots of colors.

Second recommendation on Wheelskin. Picked one up on a recent order with SOR. Freshens up a tired looking steering wheel. Also like the additional thickness to the wheel. Personal preference I guess.

Seems like the best option. Just trying to guess the color to buy w/o ordering 3 and sending 2 back. I have the blue/grey interior. Thank you all for the insight.

I used the wheelskin, good product, final install looks great.
My only complaint is their gray cover is a little too light gray for me, darker would be better. Still not bad though.
Pull each stitch tight....mine got tighter as I went around, should’ve started tighter.

Maybe they have more color options now. (?)

Bought mine a good while ago

I went with the black and it looks great with the black switches, floor mats, ect. I have the blue grey interior.

My 60 is in Wyoming and I am working in Bakersfield/driving the 200. Sorry.

this is the one i have. i haven’t installed it yet. in the shade it’s a perfect match. in the sun it’s a little lighter than the steering wheel but not a lot different. much cheaper than getting a custom perfect match done though.

mines an fj62 as well. different wheel than the fj60

So...I want to know about your seat covers. Who did that? What are they? I’m bone stock but gonna have to start looking into a better seat cover. Cracked on the usual places.

does it cover the entire main steering wheel? IE, the parts that go towards the middle of the steering wheel? I don't want any of the plastic of the main wheel to be exposed. Just the horn area is fine.

No, but the quality is pretty good
