PIC: New Grant Steering Wheel

Just sharing a pic of my new steering wheel. Sorry for the cut-off photo - it was raining this morning.

I never really like the look of those wheels, but I must also say "nice clean interior"

Fair statement, but for $70.00, its has a thicker grip and 1 inch smaller diameter than stock which makes getting in and out alot easier.

Nice, I couldnt stand the stock wheel, it was HUGE. My grant 13.5" makes it like driving a go-cart

I like your floor mats, oem?

Actually, the only thing I have to move my head to see clearly is my temp guage, and even then I just have to lean back a little. The pro's more the compensate for the con.

well.. the only real bad thing about the wheel....the metal gets friggin COLD in the winter!

i just installed my grant wheel onto a "NR-G" quick release hub.

lots of room now, and a lock for the hub is a plus too. but not to hijack your thread, your truck is concourse clean.

how does the wood feel, compared to the leather/rubber?
and
when i 1st drove my other truck (w/the new wheel) i finally realized how great they are.
. how much better the smaller wheels are.
and the p.o. would surely regret selling it.

i would always choose the smaller wheels from now on.

such an easy upgrade (15minutes) and i dont have any issues w/gauges, as i have a tilt column.

Yup, OEM. I like that pre-runner bar on the front of your truck.

You don't happen to have a pic of the quick release hub do you? I really like the feel of the wood, although an old school leather momo wheel would be nice.

ill take a photo tonight.
batteries are dead.

here is a link to "nr-g"'s website.
the product is awesome. no (i mean Zero) play and surpasses all my expectations.

i got items

Thin Version Quick Release Kit
SRK-400S Thin Version Quick Release Kit - Silver $129.99

Short Hub
SRK-120H SRK-120H Short Hub Toyota / Scion $99.99

Quick Lock Hub
SRK-101LS Quick Lock - Silver $119.99


and paid less than the quotes.
whatever you do. do NOT order from rythym racing or anyone named TANNER(tenner) or- NICK Corvaliouse (or something like corvalus).
they are middle-men and are in Arizona. and complete liar-asswqads

nick took my money, said it never went through (which it did) then without notifying me, took another 100.00 and another 50.00 to which i did file a claim, but did NOT get refunded as of yet.

NR-G's manager said to call him back if i have any further problems (which i will on monday) and was very polite and saved the day by shipping all products out himself right to my door.
