Installed freshly wrapped steering wheel only took 2.5 hrs, not in cold 80, did it in the comfort of warm house. Came out really good, this is the 3rd wheel I've done.

Did you cut the new leather out yourself or buy it precut?

Driving this morning and a guy cuts me off and nearly hits me doing 90+ in a school zone , said to myself “self, he’s going to kill somebody “ a minute later and I see him again, 100 yards away, he smashes a stop sign doing 100+ his rear tire hits the side of a drainage culvert and the whole truck goes airborne, tires fly off, parts fly off and he lands sideways, slamming into A utility trailer, if vehicle, and a fence. I saw him get ejected through the windshield and fly at least 40 feet through the air. He smashed into a brick wall. By time I stopped and got to him it was too late.

I’m thankful he did not run into me.

Suicide? Or dui? scary! glad your okay.

@musthave Glad you're OK.

Nice truck. What is was it? OBA too.

I found out that it was drugs. He is known around town for his incredibly obnoxious airhorn that he would blow at anyone who offended him. Looks like it was a Chevy of some sort. Massive lift, massive air horns, the rear was filled with all sorts of equipment. Highway patrol said that they believed it was drugs due to the amount of drugs found in the cab. From the stop sign and culvert that he hit two where he landed was over 400 feet. Parts of the vehicle littered about 300 feet. I can’t figure out why he was going that fast, perhaps in his drug-induced state he thought he was going really slow? So yes, I think it was called suicide.

Glad the OP is uninjured and the driver didn't take anyone else out. Scary.

@BobbyRoles Wait, did I read that right? You were ejected through the moonroof and you're still in one piece? Horry shist. Glad you're OK.

Looks like it might have been a diesel truck that wrecked, I always wondered if anyone has tried a duramax v8 swap rather than the usual cummins 5.9 in these landcruisers. I liked those years of chevy trucks.

It's a direct swap into lv45.

Well after almost 3mo of fiddling with it in the evenings I think I almost have the PHH whooped. It’s wasn't really as bad as it’s made out to be.

As in 3 months of evenings??

Glad you weren’t hurt bro. And even if he was an idiot I’ll say a prayer for his family.
