    Ordered this one off of Amazon after having fitment issues with the Loncky brand. Overall this one fit better although it's not perfect. The bottom 2 photos show the imperfections. I installed it without removing the steering wheel and it took about 4.5 hours. Overall I would recommend it for the price and it feels much better to the touch than the factory urethane steering wheel.

    It just takes a long time to align the cover, tuck the leather behind the plastics and lastly stitch it. It would have gone faster if I didn't have to constant untwist the thread so it didn't make knots.

    I'd say it was worth the time spent. Looks great! Nice work!

    Thanks, I really prefer the feel of the leather over the cheap urethane.

    That looks nice, good job. No way do I have the patience to make it turn out that nice.

    Thanks, the first one I spent about the same amount of time on before the thread broke and ruined the cover. So I ripped that one off and tried again. 2nd time turned out pretty good although it was more time than I wanted to spend on the project.

    Looks great.. I took my wheel off and I would say it’s easier, more comfortable and faster by taking it off. I also had issues with Loncky and recommend not to buy from them.

    I put a loncky on recently. My only complaint with it was the pieces that tuck into the top of the steering column could have been 1/4 bigger. When I look at it from the driver seat I can see where it ended. Other than that I am ok with it. Seemed like all the threads said go loncky so I didn’t even consider the other. I guess I was a few weeks to early.

    Why not remove the trim pieces so you dont have to tuck anything in. Wouldnt it just allow you to place it where you need to then just screw the trim pieces back on?

    I took the trim pieces off. I’m talking on the top of the steering wheel. Was like 1/4 inch too short to fully tuck in. Doesn’t look too

    Should fit any steering wheel that isn't already leather.

    I have the same wheel in my 4runner. Going to try removing the factory leather and stitching this new one on. Feel like it would be too thick stacking leather on top of leather.

    Is there something wrong with your factory leather?

    Looks like it added considerable girth.

    Its got some gouges in it and is pretty shiny. For the cost, I figure I'll just replace it to make it new again.

    Eising wheel cover installed over the top of my leather wheel. Definitely added girth. Couldn't remove the factory leather and install this one, would have been too loose.

    Looking great! My uncle might like it for his new Tundra project. The interior needs some tlc, including the steering wheel cover. He'll start the modding projects when it returns from the installation of the new tires from 4Wheelonline plus the alignment.

    The question is do you have bear hands or baby hands? Thicker could be good, but I have baby hands lol

    I just did an OEM leather wheel from a Tacoma w 7 miles on it from car-part.com for $120 shipped. Came from a crash test truck! Took about 15 mins to swap in
