    Just curious to how many people actually use these, I do. It was one of my first purchases.

    No, my steering wheel is pretty thick compared to some other products I drive...feels about right and it's already leather covered. I do wish it was heated though.

    Something tells me there's more to this...??? :)

    i put one on to make the grip wider so it fits in my hands better. The stock wheel just feels a bit thin.

    Oh yeah I got one because the stock leather wrapped wheel is slippery & I like the way a good cover feels on it.

    I have never put a steering wheel cover on a vehicle that came with a leather wrapped wheel. Last truck I had one on was a base Ranger with the vinyl cover and I covered it with one of those neoprene covers.

    got one for mine, the original factory vulcanized cover has detached and rolls/moves in spots when gripping it, made the steering wheel feel weird, plus I like the feel of the larger diameter cover, guess I am old school, when I set up my pocket rockets for twisty performance, first thing I did was add a thicker sticky/leather wheel, made it feel better when wheeling hard and breaking the law on the mountain roads....

    Yes. I use a grey faux fur cover. It's like petting a round squirrel.

    I used to. Once it started falling apart I removed it and never felt the need to replace it.

    Call up to order and ask for a second piece of lacing cord and needle. There is no extra cost and it will allow you to lace it up with a baseball stich. The baseball stich looks a lot nicer than the regular lacing method.
