Different steering wheel

[82toyotakid]

Im thinking about getting rid of my stock toyota steering wheel it seems a little too big for my liking i am going to get a GT steering wheel how much smaller of a wheel should i get? any suggestions would be appreciated thanks...

Go to shucks with a measurment of your wheel and try out a few. Or even better, bring your wheel in and compare side by side.

Do it.  I used a 12.5" MOMO.  Luv it.  Just make sure it's comfortable for you.

thanks how much was it?

Momo os spensive!  Mine is 13", a cheapo...just the right size.  The best thing is that for people in the 6' range such as me...the extra room in the leg area is priceless.

[82toyotakid]

so how exspensive was it?

<== i like this one.. it was the cheapest GT on the shelf, works great.

I tried their site but can't find the style I have.  I've had a couple of ones like rustytoy's, but never cared much for the foam.  I have a leather(I think) wrapped three spoke gt right now that I like, but the adapter puts it too close to me and it's a little small.  I'd go maybe 2" smaller than stock, depending on how big yours is.  The wheel in my 80 4by is smaller than the one in my 91 2wd, but that may be because the former has p/s and the latter doesn't.  Maybe I'll step outside and snap a pic....be right back....

Like this one

I have the same GT as shown in kneedownnates pic. I love it and I believe I picked it up for like $30-40

Ugh, I need internet at home.

Yes they are expensive (2 bills)    but I got mine at a smoking deal.  I just preffer the feel of the momo over the GT-Grant, just feels better to me.  IMHO.

  I too am 6' and I no longer hit my knees into the steering wheel.  This is good.  I wouldn't go any smaller than a 12.5"  It will get hard to steer.

You should add your steering wheel into your sig.

Do it, get rid of that stock one..   I want to get one of those "Chaa-Uuggha" horns. 

[wa4x4]

They sell all types of horns online. Once in Maui we were driving through a tunnel and the car full of hispanic males behind us honked their horn and it played the Mexican Hat Dance. It was pretty funny because the horn lasted through the entire tunnel.

My 81 2wd is set up pretty much like yours was when you bought it, manual steering too, and it's a pita to turn the wheel if you're not moving.  Gotta love wide low profile tires for parking lot manuevers!

[84_yota_4wd]

guys guys if u want a horn go tho offroadunlimeted.com a three horn air horn kit hoses and compreeser is just 39.99 im gettin it soon

[kneedownnate]

Oh yea, horn doesn't work on mine, and none of my grants have ever functioned well.  I don't think you have a good contact with the grant wheels.  I'm wondering if I put a thin layer of dialectic on the contact ring it might work better, maybe make a stronger connection.

[82toyotakid]

I am for sure getting the dixie horn!!!

[84_yota_4wd]

haha i love that im just a good ol boy too

[82toyotakid]

heck yes lol!!!

I have the MoMo Grand prix... i think... anyway, it ran me.. $225 plus $40 for the adapter.
However, I drive like a krazed man eating beast, so I refuse to give up my SRS airbag in my new truck.

I ran that wheel in two hondas previously, and loved every minute of it.
The feal is great for big people who have big hands and long fingers. The grand prixx at schucks has a smaller diameter wheel, which is great for small people, but not to good for us 6'+ with big hands
