Question Need new steering wheel & stabilizer

1. I'm looking for a new steering wheel. Mine is worn out & I don't like the idea of paying $300 for a Grant or Momo. Any idea of where to get a new one without paying through the nose?

2. Steering stabilizer? I'm putting on a set of 31 x 12.5 pro comp xterrains in the spring. Should I go with a single or dual stabilizer setup? It there any brands to avoid?

Cheers,
Jeff

Looks good. How much did you pay for it? Did you have to import it? Did youbuy it second hand in BC?

I would just go check out a junkyard for a steering wheel, im sure if you call around one of them will have one that is decent enough to be cleaned up and look fitting. As for steering stabilizers i dont know much about the best brands for yota's but everybody i know who wheels here just uses the Rancho's and they seem to work great. I like rancho, they are cheaper then some of the really expensive brands but still hold up to abuse very well

I was told by a good friend who just so happens to work for 4wheel parts, that 33's and bigger you should run duel stabilizer's.

Well then remind me never to buy anything from 4 wheel parts that he recommends....

If everything in the front is ok, you don't even need a steering stabilizer.

Single will do just find and brand doesn't matter.
A less expensive one will work as well as an expensive one.

No wheeling yet. Just moved here in July, got married, the list goes on....

Does anyone know of a club in the area?

Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy a steering stabilizer if there is no difference in brand?

Cheers,
Jeff

used to run a single, then went to duel's.....way better! glad i changed. only $100 bucks for the duel set up so why not......and before any of you say that's too much, check where i live! we pay a lot for everything.
