    Wheelskins make a nice leather steering wheel cover. What is on the JL steering wheel now? Installed the leather Wheelskin cover a few times on different vehicles. It was tedious but the finish product looked and felt great.

    Nothing, really, just the factory trim. It says somewhere Rubicons have it in leather. It is very smooth and thin so even me with my not-so-large palms have to clench my fists to not loose grip. My hands get tired from it. This is why I need a cover, but not too fat, as then the opposite would happen, I would have to drive with open palms (which I do often anyways but this is a bad, bad habit).

    Thanks, let me look at the Wheelskins. Any particular item (if they make several?). I take it I need the 15" type in general.

    I used to buy Wheelskins from Autoanything minus 20-22% but $20 shipping kills the deal. Amazon has a decent price plus FS with prime. The Wheelskin will make the steering wheel thicker, have options for two-tone or perforated but your fingers will ache afterwards as the best fit+look is when it's laced nice neat+tight

    When traversing bumpy off-roads the thumbs tend to get tangled with the spokes.
