Our '87 4R SR5 Honduras Coffee/Missions Rig Build...

[The Jade Bean]

Steering wheel came in, but waiting for the mount. When with 15".

I've bought 2-3 parts trucks with those steering wheels on them. Never saw the draw i guess. Then again the way the PO's attached them left a lot to be desired in the safety and physical connection departments.

What was wrong with the original steering wheel?

 

[The Jade Bean]

Specifically I wanted a 15" for my wheel lock that I bought for our old 4R and a visual upgrade for myself. I'm keeping the old one just in case I hate it.

Not sure if you ever found a tilt column cover.
Also not sure if you've heard of CruiserYard (Toyota Land Cruiser Used Auto Parts Accessories | CruiserYard | Austin, Texas).

I was digging through the stuff they have for sale (I know, I shouldn't be doing that.) and stumbled across this pic in a gallery of part-outs

(Picasa Web Albums - CruiserYard - 874Runner)

I'm not really sure if it is even from a tilt column, but maybe worth a quick email?

PS: No affiliation and have never bought anything from them, just found them whilst lurking the 45 section.

PPS: Or just PM @arcteryx

 

[The Jade Bean]

Thank you sir! I forgot about them as an option!

Anyone have a lead on a aux rocker/push light switch for the 1st gen 4R?

 

[KLF]

Pretty sure there's a Cole-Hersee series of rocker switches that pop right into the stock cutouts in these dashboards.

 

[The Jade Bean]

Sweet thx! I'll look.

You should just buy the spare e-locker I have in my garage.

 

[The Jade Bean]

Well tell me more about that in a message @KLF!!

 

[jgranthevagrant]

Yes, tell us more.

 

[The Jade Bean]

Ok I just read up on elockers and I'm gonna pass. I need to keep this as simple as possible and I think the Detroit Soft locker is the solution. About the same price as a elocker, but with out any wiring or switches. This will eventually be mostly used off road so select ability isn't as important. Thank you though!!

A family pic!

Does anyone know if the center column plastic "non-tilt" will work for tilt if you cut out the notch for the tilt handle or is something else different too? Thanks!
