    Replaced the valve cover gaskets, painted the valve covers wrinkle red, and every bolt that came off got wire wheeled and painted black. Getting close to 250k but still want her to look presentable

    Changes to the back springs meant they were longer than I needed, Back when I installed the new springs I cut them off, a temporary shadetree move till I could order the correct length and get them swapped out.

    This was waiting for me when I got home from work. I wasn't expecting it to be this nice looking in person. It's damn good looking steering wheel.

    How hard is that to swap out? My original steering wheel is getting pretty worn.

    From YouTube doesn't seem hard at all. I'm also going to repaint my inlays. My steering wheel is literally falling apart on the top. I have it wrapped with tape now. So it was time to show my taco a little love.

    Swapping the steering wheel is super easy. I swapped my taco with a oem tundra leather wheel and my tundra steering wheel got swapped as well.

    That’s what you do, you cut them to size. That’s not an issue at all

    Also you gave me the inspiration to do it. Thanks to your video. Of course not the same wheel. But this one looks damn good
