What an absolute noob
I’ve seen it before, it might take some jerry rigging but I’ve seen it before. My question is—why? It cheapens the look of the interior and makes it look worse. The plasticky toyota look just doesn’t belong in the interior of a 40 in my opinion.

Because I don't want to spend $600 - $1200 for an OEM FJ40 steering wheel. I saw one today for $1700. Pure idiocy!

There are a couple of guys on the forum who rebuild these, @Birdhead , for a reasonable price, given the amount of work that goes into a full refurb. A search should pull something up

I can't recall when the spline count changed. I love my fj60 steering wheel and clearance to my body changes that have occurred in the last 20 years of this hobby. The 62 wheel has a slightly different dish. You will need to change the detents that cancel the turn signals. Pretty simple with a drill and new roll pins.

Steering column changed from 36 spline to the standard 33 spline 7/69.
Most I ever paid for any steering wheel was a leather one out of a 1994 80 series. Two years old cost $75 from a wrecking yard. Guessing around fifteen years ago I bought a gray FJ62 steering wheel for $7.50. This was on mud for a while and price kept dropping. Also when shipping was still cheap. It's crazy how much everything cost today.
