Lonky makes me happy as hell every time I get into the 100 series. I will be getting one for the 80 real soon. I went with the 3/4 perforated black leather.
Someone just posted up about buying this, like yesterday or the day before. Another New FZJ 80 (LX) Owner - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/another-new-fzj-80-lx-owner.1287669/page-2
I just finished a Loncky cover on the 80. The fit isn't perfect - i assume they cut them to fit a few different models of wheel. That said, it was easy enough for me to work round that and unless you go looking for the imperfections you likely won't spot them.
End result is really good and the first impression when you hold the newly covered wheel is well worth the 3 hours it took me to do it.

This is the exact one I used and it is great. Fits perfectly. (oops thought I was posting in the 60 series area) I have an FJ62
Lonky is what I have..good quality

Looks good 
Color is a bit off, but perhaps I can dye it for a better match
Any tips on the stitching process?
I remember doing it on my Road Runner and it was a LOOOOONG process

Take steering wheel off. Stitch every other loop. Lay out the “front” and “back” sticker around the wheel and use your best judgement which way it really goes. I ran through twenty or so stitches and then went back to tighten them up. Didn’t really tighten up everything until I had the entire run done on each length.
you have to take the steering wheel off to do this?
@ethingnow it is not a requirement to take the steering wheel off to install the LonKey cover but it really makes it easier. I still love the cover, it is soft and supple.
