My steering wheel.has seen better days after almost 30 years. Its slick, worn and super squishy. Anyone have someone or reccomendation on a rewrap/reshape? It's a 92 so no airbag etc. Thought about aftermarket but between wanting to keep cruise control and the small fortune to convert thought I would explore this.

Nubreed just had his done for the new F250. Take a look at his build thread.

I was looking at this company before I ended up redoing mine with one of the kits from O'Reilly..

Redline makes good stuff, and their customer service is incredibly good.

If it were me and you want it recovered- have someone skilled at the job do it- sorry if you don’t it’s probably going to look- well like you recovered it !!

I'll agree with Matt. It's not cheap to have them recovered, but it's sooooooo worth having someone that can do a nice job on it. Aftermarket wheel + steering wheel adapter is in the $250-$300 range, or get it custom wrapped however you want it for a few bucks more and retain your cruise control, etc...

I used a guy here in San Diego off Miramar Rd. His IG handle is @ap_upholstery. He does some really nice work.

I might hit him up to do one for me. Might also see if he can get his hands on the Mocha color leather/vinyl. I really want to order some PRP seats, but my OCD wants the color to match the original shit.

Yeah, that would be slick. I'm sure he could get something pretty damn close to the mocha stuff you've got.

Dallas Custom Steering Wheel has a great reputation. They’ve done a ton of Land Cruisers from the IH8Mud forum along with high end cars. They will add or reduce the overall thickness of the padding as well as custom stitching patterns.
I have no affiliation with them other than being a previous customer.
