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.

Typically, people get a quality leather steering wheel cover from $OR or another vendor, and carefully lace it on. I'm sure that someone, somewhere can do an exotic leather wrap, but I haven't seen it done. The FJ40 wheel is oversize, so typical parts-store steering wheel leather wraps won't be large enough.
I did one of this style for my old Dodge Ram, seems decent so far. I **think** the 40 wheel would be an XL0 or maybe an XL1 size (17" diam, 2 3/4 grip), but would want to measure/confirm:

Thanks
The stitching isn't bad, although a little hard on the fingers. Highly recommend pulling the wheel and doing it off the vehicle at a table/bench, too.
I've done it a few times, third time on this steering wheel ('74 FJ55). I keep wearing through them at the same spot.
Got one of these in the mail, easy install.
