Leather steering wheel covers...

I installed a leather cover on my 2010 4runner Trail this weekend and was going to do a write up for this but I just found this post. I bought a used 2010 and was surprised it did not have a leather steering wheel.

I looked at the Wheelskins and at this one made by Xuji. I grabbed the Xuji from amazon HERE. It was $59.99 and had free Prime shipping. It does not say it fits the 5th gen but you can see from the photos the wheels appear identical. It can be had cheaper if you get it from Aliexpress, but there shipping is slower and I was in a hurry. Search for “Black Genuine Leather Steering Wheel Cover for Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2010 2012 2014 Tundra Tacoma”. This cover looks OEM- the leather is solid on the top and bottom and perforated on the sides.

The install is easy in theory, but it is still time consuming if you are anal and thus it took me over 3 hours to do.
I found more on the Tundratalk.net forums HERE. That thread has lots of good photos and videos linked.
I watched two or three videos that you can find linked to that thread which were great help so I could figure out the cross stitch.

I did not take off my steering wheel nor remove my airbag and trim to do the install but if I did it again I probably would. Instead, I used the flat tool they provide to press the leather into the gaps. Tucking in the leather to the gaps takes time and being flexible helps! 

Here are a few photos of mine after the install. Excuse the red dirt covering everything but I was in Moab a couple of weeks ago. This cover feels GREAT and the leather quality is awesome.
If I see it show up on aliexpress again for $30ish again I will pick up a spare.

That look really good, I would have though it was factory installed!

None of your links work in your thread, I would really like to see the Amazon Link, and Tundra Talk link for install info.

I would love to see a writeup on this, but maybe the thread on Tundra Talk will be good enough.
 
Thanks for the headsup on the broken links. I thought my links would copy over from my word doc. They should be working now!

If you think this should be in a new thread, let me know and I will create one and include a few more details.


On Amazon and aliexpress, search for “Black Genuine Leather Steering Wheel Cover for Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2010 2012 2014 Tundra Tacoma” if my second attempt at links does not work.

Thanks for fixing the links! I went through the Tundra thread, and it looks like removing the steering wheel isn't too bad, and is probley the way to go. That would be cool if you could create a new thread with more details on this install, and any install tips, or issues you ran across.
 
That looks really good! I actually know how to sew, i just worry about my fat fingers getting behind the wheel lol
 
I was planning on it if i had much trouble with tucking the ends behind the verticals.
Thankfully it was not too bad.

Whiplash, i did a post on the XUJI install HERE.

As it was my first post, I hope there is some good info there for you.

Cheers,
Kelly
