Steering Wheel Replacement

[mtbtim]

Hey Dudes,
[MENTION=102606]infamousRNR[/MENTION] and I have another video for you. If you wanted to know how to remove and replace the steering wheel on your 3rd Gen, here's a video you can use for the job. As a result of us troubleshooting a problem with the cruise control after the steering wheel swap, you also learn how to replace the cruise control switch.

Here's the video and Enjoy the Show!

Saw that pop on my youtube feed this morning but haven't watched it yet

Do you address changing all the stalks when pulling the wheel?

Nice job. I've always used the brute force method of rocking 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock with the caveat of only doing so with the nut screwed on a couple of turns. Keeps the teeth intact that way.

I would like to put an ES300 wheel on mine as a replacement one day but have never found one the right color:

Thanks for posting this. I just found out sadly that my recently swapped wheel is a repainted originally brown non-Tacoma/4Runner wheel. The black is flaking off. Those F-rs on ebay got me.

I'm going to go down to the local scrap yards one of these weekends to find a better replacement.

I wonder if a Tundra steering wheel would swap over, as they have radio controls on the steering wheel.

Hey Mike, the only thing we changed is the cruise control switch.

Are you planning to replace your steering wheel?...

Yeah I just bought a new one because my leather one is torn up REAL bad.

If you want help with it, let Sean and I know. You'll have to arrive with some tasty IPAs though.

You bought a new OEM steering wheel?

The cheapest I've seen for that part is almost $900 on Camelback, assuming I was looking at the right one.

No, new to me, but used. I just bought one from [MENTION=78100]TRD 4RNR[/MENTION], in much better condition than mine. It's not the same leather one as mine, but it's much better than having my torn up one or a cover.

it should work but you need to consider splicing over the clock spring wire that connects to the airbag and also the cruise control connection and functionality ...

this is a cool thread with some other types of steering wheels used...
