I got the wheel off Ebay. I needed the parchment or tan color and that was hard to get. so I asked the vendor who sold the ones in black and asked if he had the tan color! by golly the man came through!! He charged me $185 for the wheel but there was a $25 core charge for the old wheel. It was to much hassle to box and ship and get to the shipper I paid the $25. the total with ship came to $210 which I thought was pretty good and the wheel is exellent quality and it took me about 45 min to change over the buttons and yank the wheel. Here a tip to removing wheel by yourself.If you have air chisel and the pointed end tool just back out the center bolt about 1/8 in put you knees under the wheel and your other hand at the top ! put the air chisel right in the center of the bolt and hit the trigger a couple of times while pushing with your knees and pulling with hand! Works everytime ! I put wheels on both of my Mercedes and both of my Super Dutys!
here is a link to the seller. If anybody out there has a gagged up steering wheel I have one in black and parchment !! will sell cheap!

Is it me, or the angle of the photo, or does the wheel not quite match the airbag? My wife has a similar steering wheel and her color matches the airbag.
Any plans to paint or wood grain the gauge pod? Another cheap and easy appearance mod is to paint the center gray plastic bars on your grill. Black paint might look good with your new look, or maybe the rattle can chrome or try and match the truck color.

First answer ! No the airbag does not quite match the wheel. It was hard to find that color so I got as close as I could !
Second answer ! The lites seem of pretty good quality and I guess only time will tell. But I am always washin and waxin so they should stay pretty brite.
Third answer ! How brite ? They are much briter than the OEM and at my age I need all the lite I can get at nite! I just installed them and went out for a ride ! I was worried that the low beams might be to high and to brite, Was weird it was if you drew a line between the lite and the dark! The seemed to be ok I should not get any flashing lites at me!
Fourth answer !! NO SAINTS PLATES PLEASE!!!
