Interior toolbox? and other questions..

Was just wondering if anyone had seen any interior toolbox or storage solutions for an extended cab. Obviously it would be easy to mount one in the bed, but I don't know how I feel about having gravel and crap dumped all over it all the time, etc.

also, what about a leather wrapped steering wheel? Is a wheel skins the only semi-nice looking option, or is there some "stock" offering (from a different model Toyota, etc.)

TIA

 

An upgraded 'leather-wrapped' steering wheel was available on S-Runners and Tacos with the Limited Package during the 2001 - 2004 era.

 

hmmm, good to know. so should i do a search for "limited steering wheel"?

 

Subscribed, I am interested in both.

 

I doubt you would locate much using that as a search string. The steering wheel wasn't a 'limited' model in and of itself. It was a variant trim installed on S-Runners and trucks with the Limited Package.

These upgraded wheels don't feel all that 'leathery' or 'plush' to me, so I can't say they're a major step 'up'. If you want a cushy leathery feel to your steering wheel I'd recommend adding a good-quality add-on / lace-on kit. If nothing else, that would be the cheapest route to take as a first experiment ....

 

I went to a custom interior shop to get a high quality real leather steering wheelcover installed. Cover + install = $125. Yes, expensive as hell, but worth every penny. It is about 6 mos old and finally getting a perfect feel

 

Yup...this is what I was thinking......with blue and black.

I'd like to see one on a Tacoma first though.

 

Thanks for your suggestions, EnolaGaia. The Wheel Skins don't look half bad, so maybe I'll give that a try. I just can't stand plastic steering wheels. I have been spoiled by leather in my previous 3 vehicles...

exminnesotaboy, what is the name of that little camper trailer in your sig? I have always loved those things.

thebigk, maybe I'll have something to show you soon


Anyone have any ideas on this toolbox? I'm guessing nothing like that is really made... hmmm, business idea? hah...

 

thanks, it's called a teardrop camper - click on the link in my sig for build pics
