    The carbon fiber-look bits do wear better than the silver paint.

    I kinda gave up on looking after the prices were crazy.
    I do like that carbon fiber wheel. If anyone get a link to a reasonable/reputable place/price, I am in.

    Cluster you'll need to rewire as well.
    And even if you just want to change the face plate a lot of warning lights aren't in the same place between 05-08, 09-10, 11, 12-14

    I'll have a non jbl bluetooth 2012 radio up for sale soon that works with the 2012 steering wheel controls if anyone in this thread is interested. Will post to marketplace once I remove it.

    I haven't done much research on it yet and have never done electrical work, so this project might be a while.

    I wood-nt (pun intended) care for the wood accents, but having that heated wheel would be the cats pajamas. Heck I'm still missing the Air Conditioned leather seats from my 2013 Ford F-150 FX4.

    Air conditioned seats would be perfect for me here by the Gulf.... But I know better than to expect that from the Tacoma.

    Funny you mention that.... I thought of doing it because there is room in the s8 connector and clock spring for heat (assuming it's only 1 or 2 wires which it should be). But alas the price of that wheel was 1900+ lol w/o airbag and controls

    I had AC seats in my last car and they were awesome in the summer. It was also funny to turn the passenger one on and watch people kind of make funny faces until they realized what was going on. :p

    I'd swap it to something else. I hate this Tacoma's steering wheel. Bulky. Slippery, and just not feel right. Why toyota would make such a bulky piece of shit and slap it on the truck is beyond me.

    I can use those old skinny Chevy steering wheels that look like a bicycle wheel so I can PERSONALIZED it as I please to fit my taste. Just not this ugly fat Taco steering wheel that I can't even slap a cheap steering wheel cover from WallyWorld on this damn thing.:D

    The older 2nd gen wheels arent as thick though if you wanted to swap. Not with me though I prefer the older style better.
