Part 1 : Restore leather steering wheel.
This video is a Budget DIY on how you can repair your worn steering wheel. Please know that I am not a professional at doing repairs like this Modification.
The vehicle I'm working on is a 3rd Gen 4Runner and I'm upgrading the steering wheel to a Lexus one. The process I use can be applied to any vehicle that has a leather or wooden steering wheel. But after doing a lot of research I felt confident enough to do it myself. Steering Wheel's are exposed to constant sunlight and heat, causing them to break down over time. On top of that we also introduce oils, lotions, dirt and all sorts of other things from our hands to the steering wheel which can cause it to wear down over time.
This modification will run you about $42.00 Depending on flex in pricing

Dude, you saved me a lot of money by not replacing it. I'm pretty sure I can tackle this process. Thanks!

4:00. You nailed it with that SMC 15723. It matched my wheel perfect.

Dude, I have a face for radio so don't feel like you don't look good enough for a RU-vid video!!! Great videos. I have two 4Runners and a 96 Lexus/Land Cruiser. The wheel on the Cruiser is really bad and it is the first thing you see when you look inside. Thanks for this video.

If anyone else is looking for another cheap OEM Toyota wheel for their 3rd gen 4Runner(4 spoke design), the first gen Sienna wheels are a direct swap. Your airbag will install right over and they are dime a dozen at pick and pulls for around $20.

Thanks buddy for the tip!

@Cbrmansc77 3 года назад

I think you did a great job man

@TrailReady4Runner 3 года назад

Dude thank you so much.

There are special leather repair fillers that work better then superglue, these can then be modeled into shape with a modeling knife

I noticed you used gloss instead of satin. Did you consider satin? Yours does look good.

10 months, how’s it holding up??

@theanonymoustechie 2 месяца назад

Can you go to an auto body shop to have this done?

@jrbanez7462 2 года назад

What sand paper did u used? Or which one?

@TrailReady4Runner 2 года назад

Mix between 600 and 1000. If you have cracks in the wooden portion use thin CA glue to fill in the gaps better.

After all that, no AFTER shots with the tape off. :(

Do you know if the airbag from a '99-'02 4Runner (4 spoke steering wheel) fit in this Lexus woodgrain steering wheel?

@tm55555 Год назад

Does not fit iirc.

@@tm55555 Thank you for the info

The SEM cap color seemed a bit off from the gray color of my 2006 Lexus LX470 steering wheel; however, the color when applied was a perfect match and the wheel now looks like new. Thanks for the video.

@cherylscott6872 Год назад

Great job…I wanted to see the finished product 😢

@_stupdep_4842 3 года назад

@TrailReady4Runner 3 года назад

Yes I believe that’s correct.

@Trial-Time-Tammy 2 года назад

Looks awesome! Do you have to remove your steering wheel to do this? If so do you know how hard is it remove a steering wheel from a 2005 Lexus GX470?

@enriquelamelas2981 2 года назад

in other videos they spray the paint covering the dashboard with paper to avoid removing the steering wheel

@pawekiczko8232 5 месяцев назад

Nice video, would be great if You could make them shorter, like 2 minutes, focus only on key points!

@rudygeorgiamulesandcountry1594 Год назад

There is a process where they combinesuper glue and baking soda to fill,build and repair things.. I dunno if that could be adaptable to steering wheels or not.

@andrewdbach1 3 года назад

Whats the best way to source a steering wheel with airbag?

@TrailReady4Runner 3 года назад

The best way is to go through a junkyard but they won’t sell you the airbag for liability issues. If you look in the description of the video I left an Instagram user where I purchased mine from.

@alexnova85 10 месяцев назад

Great video, thank you

@PyrateRumRunner 3 года назад

Do you know anyone who has done this and how long it lasts?

@TrailReady4Runner 3 года назад

Unfortunately I don’t, but if you go through a company called Viper Products, there dies and pains are used by professionals so if you’re worried about longevity, I would check them out.

@garydowns8511 3 года назад

Thanks, my wheel is a disaster, with your information. I'll be doing mine in place (wish me luck!)

@joeylopezphd 2 года назад

Great documentation!

@matthewnaderi 3 года назад

Great vid. Will more than likely try this. Thanks!

@apeddel 2 года назад

Great result!

@CLoSC 3 года назад

Nice work, brother. The only hangup I have in doing the same thing is that I don't want to remove the steering wheel from the car to do this. Still searching for the way to restore without removing it from the car.
