    Hey again!

    Thought I would share this awesome cheap steering wheel grip I purchased months ago. Didn't really care for an entire steering wheel cover since they add too much bulk for my tiny whopperless hands download.jpg Haven't had any issues or slip off. I am not getting any money or anything like that from this just sharing. Also, providing the exact name if you didn't want the link.

    Looks nice but not a fan of fake carbon fiber. If you like it then you like it. I paracord wrapped mine.11326922-F7B3-4592-82CE-52348416FA49.jpg

    I didn't realize grip was that much of a problem? All those damn things look gaudy as Hell... Might as well buy one of those pink fluffy ones...

    I've seen those . . . in actual cars . . . being driven by women . . . and men. Just wow.



    O/T, but I truly feel that folks using those, or have their phone mounted to the windshield where it blocks viewable area, should be pulled over and their vehicle impounded. They need a dose of reality.

    Double O/T. Folks driving with high beams or light bars on into oncoming traffic should be pulled over and made to stare at them for 5min from 2ft away.

    My utopia. Get off my lawn. :rofl:

    Driving with that cover on would be like constantly rubbing your fingers through this.....

    Proclivities are one thing, to do when safe. When driving, folks gotta get their head out of their asses.

    Of course, I am not without fault here either.

    Any chance you have a guide / instructions on how to do this? I've made belts and other things from Paracord, but not thought to wrap a steering wheel.

    So what is the benefit of this? I do like chunky steering wheels, but I think the Tacoma already has a girthy wheel
