Swapped in a corolla steering wheel instead of my grimy peeling old one:

My God man! You can't drop that here without giving us the details!

What year Corollas? What about the airbag, connectors & clock-springs? Do they plug and play or did you have to chop it all up?

I reversed your pic so the rest of us can get an idea of how it would look in our trucks :D

Looks like 2003-2008, with the leather it would be out of an S or XRS and maybe an LE with a grey interior. Alternate source would be the same generation Matrix XR (B package) or XRS...

I'm curious about connectors as well. Something tells me that they might be plug and play... :)

Those are some funky looking tweeters.............
 
Dude I've been dying to do this. Been searching on junk yard websites for a good looking one. What year did you use ?

And tell us about the air bag and cruise control

Hi all - Steering wheel is from a JDM car at a local wreckers (in New Zealand) so I'm not sure if you'll all have a local equivalent.

It was a 2002 Corolla Sport. It's the same wheel used in a bunch of toyotas of similar vintage - Celicas, MR-S, possibly Rav-4s?

Clock spring is the original Hilux Surf one. Connector is from the corolla (re-pinned) - not exactly plug'n'play unfortunately.

(edit: by re-pinned I mean I took the connector from a corolla clock spring, removed the wires and attached it to the original clock spring's wires)

Put the bumper on the truck this evening. Will take more pocs when I have time to clean it up.

I picked up a rear locking axle and the front to match with cvs. Not sure if better to go get ecu or build a harness. Now to get it cleaned and painted. At 168k and no leaks. I've never gone this far with a mod. I've been reading a ton so a thanks to those pioneers.

As weird as it is, I used my 3rd gen to haul some bushes to the dump that I pulled out of the ground with a strap. Had to secure one to my roof rack cause it wouldn't fit hahaIMG_2730.JPG

I found these parts sitting on my skid plate this past weekend while changing the front differential oil. I figured out the grommet is from the coolant overflow reservoir (that one was easy because it had a PN on it).

I can't figure out what the pin is from though. Any ideas?

Thats the pin you pull on the tensioner for your timing belt to relieve the pin. Had a timing belt job done recently?

Nice! Thank you.

Nope, I bought the car used last summer at around 209,000 miles and the belt was done about 30,000 before that. Is the pin accessible or am I going to need to pull things apart to see if there's a missing pin?
