Put a steering wheel cover on cause at 25k the steering wheel leather was already starting to show signs of wear. Figured it would help with resale value or trade in value down the road lol

Thanks for sharing your experience I was hoping someone would post as far when it would go out I guess the leather ain't pure leather either the steering wheel cover ain't my cup of tea but I understand y u did it guess i better start looking into a cover myself..

I like having a thicker grip but these new steering wheels are already pretty big so with the cover it just feels a little too bulky but I'll get used to it. The steering wheel wasn't in terrible condition but you could see where my hands were so just wanna make it last as long ass possible!

Oh wow! How much did that cost?!? Do you have to strap her in or does hold on or what. Either way my wife would kill me if I got a bed liner like that. ?

Came shortly after bringing my truck home from the dealer. As for how much it cost, just $75 for the matching colors, black and red. Here's a closer look. Easy on and off. ?

Taking it Tuesday to have them do some work to it. Fix the seat and their door ding and the vibration. Other than transmissions in my 02 I've had more small issues out of this k2 than that thing and I crossed 368k on friday in the 02

Installed a 30" bar today off eBay, $75, Wireless wiring harness from Arsenal Offroad, Amazon $25. Install was fairly straightforward. Bar fits in pretty snug. I'll put some night shots up in a couple hours.

Thanks 6.2 Sierra for pointing me in the right direction!

Do you have a picture of the wear already?

I'm wondering if it really is that cheap. I've got a Volkswagen and the entire steering wheel turned almost white from gray. We bought the car used with 9k miles and I think the previous owner/dealer put some krap on the wheel. I got looking in the forums to see what other people had done. The replys people put said they took it in under warranty and the dealership replaced the entire wheel since it was failing. I was just about to do this as well but wanted to cover my ass and be able to tell them "that I use the approved cleaning solution, I don't know what happened". On VWs website they recommend 3M Leather and vinyl restorer, so I got some off Amazon. I started spraying and cleaning with a basic lint free rag and couldn't believe it when all, and I mean all, of this white krap came off. It looked just like the leather was sun faded and old to begin with. After it was perfectly gray and new looking again. The wheel has been great ever since. I went ahead and used it in my truck too since I had it. Doesn't leave any greasy film behind or bad shine. Looks great too.

Mainly, I'd say give some a try, maybe it's just gum or dirt built up. If not, this should be something that falls under manufactureres defect, and the dealer should replace this. Screw a wheel cover this early in the game IMO.

No pics but I always have dirty hands and they are pretty rough so I'm sure that doesn't help. I'm sure the restorer would definitely help cause you can see where my hands stay (darker in those areas) and where it slides while I'm coming out of a turn and let it drag my hands. I may just be a little too anal about it lol

I try to keep my hands clean as possible and use not lotion or cream and rotate my hands on the wheel I also tend not to slides hand on turn since we all now that plays a huge role in wear and tear but if gm is warranty covers it have fun spinning ur wheels

Installed 50" light bar this weekend. I used the RC upper windshield mounts that actually get riveted inside the door. I would NOT recommend these mounts to anyone. They cause the door to not shut all the way and the once 'quietest cab' is no longer. I've tried putting 1/2 tubing inside the weather striping as recommend in the forums, but it didn't solve the issue. I have ordered a set of Putco roof mounts ($44) and hoping they can work this this light bar. If not, I will have to go with N FAB and spend about $150 plus install.
