understood. thank you. although i see how much some spend on accessories for the 4runner and im still a little baffled why i havent seen a 3rd gen with an aftermarket steering wheel (other than the reasons provided to me earlier).

that being said. there are even companies who make steering wheels in between the junk ebay ones and the expensive nardi/personal/momos that have had problems. one of them being grip royal. ive heard reports of them coming apart (which i imagine would be terrifying). apologies for the off topic. i figured it would be better to ask here than make a new thread to ask a simple question.

edit:
back on topic! not sure if you guys utilize yahoo japan, but you could probably get a decent deal on a steering wheel if you are willing to wait to have it shipped to you via boat (air mail is what usually kills the deal factor). another good option is to use an active military member at okinawa if you know someone. they get a great deal on shipping stuff back to the US and its airmail.
