What color is your wheel leather, black or gray? Im trying to decide what matches my Xterra interior best and I cant get a good feel for the colors based on the website swatches. Id hate to dump the money and time on one of these only to find my wheel stands out like a sore thumb....
I just tied a few basic or simple knots, nothing fancy. However, we are a about 10 months after installation and my stitching needs redone in one spot. Easy fix though, and they provide a ton of thread to redo it all multiple times (worst case scenario).
Props to you for doing what ya did! But, this looks like more work than it took to build the whole damn truck. I can barely get a slip-on cover straight. This is *NOT* for me.
I hope it took longer than an hour to build my truck 😂 if not, I am sure the wheels will be falling off soon! Sometimes a project takes time, just gotta be patient to get the results you want.
Bro how on Earth did you install it 😒😂 I bought one of these covers and spent 6 hours trying to stitch it up and ended up ripping it all off and calling an upholstery shop to do it professionally haha. I’m decent at DIY stuff and I couldn’t it one bit
Dude you’re the king of DIY. Look at your interior. I thought this was a tedious project, just took a lot of patience. Tucking the spare fabric was the toughest part for me. The stitching took time and practice. Had to do it a few times to figure out the pattern I liked.
@@TheBlueGarage hahaha well apparently YOU’RE the king because you got me on this one 😂 I uninstalled my steering wheel and disassembled every last piece on it to make the install easy and clean. Nope. Didn’t work. It took me forever how to figure out how to even stitch it up in the first place and then it seemed like no matter what I did it wouldn’t line up properly. There’s about 25% of me that thinks that cover legit won’t fit my wheel lol but I guess I’ll have to take it to the pros and find out for sure😂 maybe that’s why I haven’t seen any other Ram guys with one of them yet lol. And to be fair to the brand, it’s not East Detailing’s product. I mean it’s essentially the exact same thing, but East Detailing doesn’t offer it for Rams and another popular Chinese company does - so mine is the Chinese one. It’s entirely possible their measurements are wrong and it in fact doesn’t fit my wheel haha who knows. It also doesn’t have the cut outs for the buttons of the back of the wheel but I didn’t fuss over that because I figured it’s a quick fix with a razor blade 😅
@@5thGen_Corey I am willing to bet that the measurements are off then. I have seen all of your work, and if you went as far as removing and disassembling the entire steering wheel, then I am confident it is the product and not you.

Nice! The steering wheels on these are really sad from the factory. It's like holding an old dried out garden hose.
Haha that’s true. This fixes that problem and then some. Definitely a quality product.
Nice work! I just got mine. Gonna install this week!
Thanks! I still love it, almost 10 months later.
That looks great. I'd love that, but I've tried to do that before. Mine ended up looking like a 2 year old did it!
Thank you, it definitely requires a lot of patience. Mine definitely is not perfect either, it has some minor imperfections.
How was the heated steering wheel control with it? Could you still feel it?
It still worked great.
Thanks for the vid! I have been looking for something that fits my 2024 Silverado. Will give this a try but not sure if the perforated grip is needed.
Anytime, happy to help! The perforated had a softer feel. I liked that a lot.

It’s a very dark gray, almost black.
How’s it been holding up after this time?
It was holding up great up until this time last year. I traded the truck in for a ZR2 in September 2023.
did the tape and the prying tool came with the package or do you have to buy your own?
Just the tape, I had my own interior tool kit already.
How did you start and finsh the thread? I’m wanting to mine but curious as to how to start it and tie it off. With out having a big sloppy knot.

Need this. The new Rados steering wheels are hard and uncomfortable
This definitely softened it up a bit.
How have the materials held up to sweat and oils from your hands? Did the wrap add a noticeable thickness to the steering wheel?
Everything has held up perfectly. It does add a noticeable thickness. It is more substantial and makes it feel like a higher quality than factory.
i love the trim on the truck. is that carbon trim or is it wrapped? looks cleeeeaannnn
Thanks man, I wrapped the bigger section, then sanded the chrome and spray painted over the entire piece in matte black.
So did you leave the tape under the cover?
Yes, it helps hold it in place.
Looks great👍
Thank you!
I need you to do this for my Ram 3500!
Haha when you picking that up? I haven’t seen it yet! 🤷🏻♂️

Made it look simple 🤷♂️ I'm going to order one
Debating on this. How does it affect the heated steering wheel?
It doesn’t at all, it still works perfectly fine.
Oh nice. I was wondering if it would that was holding me back for sure. But now I know so looks like I’ll be ordering one!
Awesome!
Looks great! How long did it take you to do the stitching?
Thank you! Maybe an hour to an hour and a half at most. I really took my time on it.
@@TheBlueGarageyou made it look super fast and filming it while doing it I’d be afraid to mess up.
@AFGixxeR88 I still took my time. But I will say it is easier than it looks.
How long did it take to ship?
I got it within 2 weeks of ordering it.
I wish you still lived in MI I would pay to to install mine lol
Haha I appreciate that, but really it’s not that difficult to do. It’s just a tedious job. Lots of attention to detail.

@@TheBlueGarage haha well part of me hopes you’re right and part of me hopes you’re wrong so I didn’t waste my money 😂
@@TheBlueGarage but thanks dude!!
A steering wheel cover made your truck feel "more reliable"?? lmao
I think you heard what you wanted to hear. I said it feels more substantial and durable.
@@TheBlueGarage 1:05 "feels more durable, feels more reliable". Literally exactly what you said, lol
Ahh, well I guess can’t be perfect. I corrected it later on and said the opposite. Tough crowd man!
Yeah, more reliable.. it gets an extra 3 mpg with that wheel wrap
Haha for sure.
