RHO steering wheel on a TRX

[alexac9]

Anyone by chance know if a RHO steering wheel will fit a TRX? I noticed on some review videos the RHO steering wheel is all leather with the carbon fiber inserts. I would really like an all leather version instead of the alcantara version.

Level 1 TRX wheel is all leather and would do the job. Would just need to swap your existing CF insert into it. Which is no big deal, just clips in.

Why not just get the carbon/leather wheel from eBay? They're like $400.

I have a carbon fiber one already but for some reason I like the stock look better. I didn't like how the matte carbon fiber turned shinny in my wheel.

I see you have red accents. Didn’t think of that in my first post. In that case the RHO wheel would be the only way then because L1 TRX never had the option of red stitching, grey only.

I don’t see why the RHO wheel wouldn’t work. You’d need to re-use all the TRX switchgear though, nothing electronics wise crosses over with our trucks.

Switching over the buttons shouldn't be hard. Did when I switch to the carbon fiber wheel

Ooohhhh interesting. Probably messed up the finish from oils on your hands or maybe you used a harsh cleaner?

Even my stock CF insert has turned a bit glossy. Kinda the deal with matte parts that get handled constantly. You’re basically slowly polishing as you touch.

@IdahoKTM has suggested a magic eraser which I’ve been meaning to try.

This sound like a nice change. While we’re at it, can I get a center console with no alcantara? Such a stupid material to put in a pickup truck

I believe it's the natural oils in my hands. I've pretty good about washing my hands and not eating in the truck. I like a clean interior lol

Then you probably didn't wipe down the steering wheel enough and just let the oils Saturate lol

Just send your current wheel for reupholstery. That’s what I did. Easy.

Don't forget that there are also several Official RHO steering wheel accessories available.
Someone please ban me.

Does anyone have the correct part number for the Level 1 with heating element and grey stitching all leather wheel? I for the life of me can't find it and can't stand the alcantara and the constant maintenance.
