Steering wheel replacement (temporary) (1 Viewer)

[Prvbs 2717]

I recently purchased a 1997 80 series. Overall it’s in great shape and just has a few normal wear and tear pieces that’s I’d like to replace/fix. I’m planning on sending the steering wheel to craft customs to be re-wrapped, but, with this going to be my daily driver to work and back I was hoping to throw a temporary wheel on it until I get mine back.

rather than buying an 2nd land cruiser or LX steering wheel is there another Toyota model (camery, etc) that would be a cheaper temporary option?

Camry steering wheel fit airbagged 80's ???

Browsing the ol' Craigslist & came across this photo of a Camry - since the thread with LS400 wheels fitting our 80's I thought maybe someone here might have tried a Camry wheel ('97 model in pic)

Camry steering wheel swap 95-97

I swapped in a 1998 Camry steering wheel into my 95 land cruiser and it was a direct fit but the only catch was that the LC airbag did not fit so i had to order a Camry airbag off CL. The airbag was a direct swap and was plug and play for the LC. From what ive gathered 97-2001 camry wheels and...

Replacement Steering Wheels

So after searching the forum fairly thoroughly I have found that several other Toyota Steering Wheels will retrofit to the Landcruiser 80 Series. I have a 92/93 JDM HDJ81 and the leather on the steering wheel has finally started to fail. I have seen pictures of a Toyota Camry wheel fitted to the...

Toyota steering wheel replacements for an FJ80

I need a new steering wheel for my LC, the leather and foam pad are shot. I’ve seen many posts about using a Lexus LS400 wheel but those are old posts and so are those cars so they may be hard to locate. I’ve also read many posts about reviving the old wheel with new leather, too much money at...

I think many other toyota/lexus steering wheels are pretty interchangeable.

@Prvbs 2717 , what color interior do you have? I may have something for you.

I been wondering about 79-series. Its a four spoke vinyl which I personally really like the vinyl wheels myself. Air bag seems like it would be the biggest issues if it is an issue.

You can still get the 93/94 black vinyl steering wheel new. It’s real nice in my opinion and a solid price from Toyota but is non-air bag.

Cheers

If you aren't going to hook any of the electronics back up or reinstall the clamshells then about any wheel with a similar ID splined hole as the original should fit and allow you to steer. Just tighten up the shaft nut and drive it until the reconditioned wheel comes back. FWIW.

You should get one of those cool street racer ones that makes the ding noise when you put it on. Instagram seems to love them.

I have OEM Tan 80 series steering wheels. This is for the 1995-1998 Land Cruiser 80 Series. The one with the cruise control is for $375, while the other two (without cruise control) are for $355.

thanks!

Do you have any of these wheels still?

I had 2 steering wheels for '97 FJ-80. I sent one to Craft Customs to be re-skinned (see pic below, re-skin is on right) and they did a great job. If anyone in the San Diego area wants to use my second wheel as a core and then give me your old wheel after the swap, hit me up. I can also walk you through the install if needed.
