WTB- 2001 steering wheel!

[Mr. Snappy]

Looking for a part, need just the steering wheel for my 2001 LC100. It has the oak color trim, would like to find the same for a replacement. The original owner apparently only held the wheel in one place, and the leather has worn thru to the core.
If ya got one and wanna get rid of it, I'm looking for one.
Toyota dealer in town wants a grand for the dumb thing. Not gonna happen.

I think Tacoma wheels are the same? A junkyard search might be simpler than asking here.

I doubt the tacoma wheels are the same... But the best bet I have found is you can get the wheels for a good price on eBay. Just make sure to get the one for the LC and not the LX because the wood is a different shade. You could also try looking in the classifieds on IH8MUD, but not too many people sell their steering wheel.

 

[Mr. Snappy]

Taco wheels are not the same, neither are sequoia wheels.
Seen wheels on Ebay, for $800!

There are these.

This is a darker wood.

[Mr. Snappy]

Thanks guys, I'll check these out.

Couldn't a local shop recover it?

 

[Mr. Snappy]

I talked to some upholstery guys, they weren't even interested.

Mine is the same as the wheel in my '01 Taco, but then I don't have the hideous fake wood on my 100s wheel!

I had a great experience with "Wheel Skins." The brown matched the 100 perfectly and I'm picky. The partially perforated matches the original Toyota pattern well. They'll send you samples of the leather textures and color for free. Fit and finish was excellent. No affiliation just a stoked customer.

A thousand dollars for a steering wheel?!? Jeez, you can buy one of those gen-u-ine wood Peterbilt 18-inch wheels for like $300...
