Steering Wheel Cover

What's wrong with the leather one that comes with it. My old 4 Runner was 8 years old when I sold it and at that time I lived in the California Central Valley which has very hot temps in the summer. Steering wheel looked great when I sold it. I did clean it with a leather clearner about twice a year.

Im A Pretty Bulky Guy, So Every Time I Get In Or Out Of The Car, I Rub Against The Bottom Part Of The Wheel Or My Number One Reminder To Cut My Fingers Nails Is Because I Just Scratched The Steering Wheel. LOL

Personally I would just leave well enough alone. I put a cover on the steering wheel of my 97 4Runner about a year or two ago after 14 years because it started to show some wear. I'm not putting one on my 11 4Runner till it's 14 years or so old.

I put Wheelskins 100% real leather custom fit steering wheel covers on the last three vehicles I owned! They feel great in your hands and after years of having them on the wheel it'll look brand new if you ever take it off. I got my last one at autobarn

I have one on my '98, I was going to take it off but it's disgusting underneath from previous 2 owners. So I'm leaving it on. I want to swap it out for a John Deere one since it's a lot cooler looking than the current one.

I'll trade you my SR5 one for your limited one. Then you won't have to worry about the leather deteriorating
