Default Need a Replacement Steering Wheel for the GX

Hello guys, I have a 2003 GX 470 with 155K miles, we bought her used in 2012. Needless to say the GX has been a FANTASTIC vehicle for us.
Been my wife's daily driver the last 5 1/2 years so she's about ready for something "fresher"
I've decided to keep the GX as she's the very definition of TANK, these vehicles I feel were built to incredible quality specs.

Anyway when we bought her used........ the Steering has always bothered me as I keep my vehicle's prestine/mint. My Steering wheel is nicked/beaten up (previous owner) and it drives me crazy!
Need one in good shape. I'm OK with a Used one if it's solid. I see them used from time to time on Ebay but the condition is always not my standards.

Through the years I've looked online thru various Salvage yards/Ebay but to no avail.
Obviously I'd like to have one at a reasonable price too.

Any suggestions guys ?
GX LOVER NEEDS STEERING WHEEL Hellllllp

I just replaced mine with one I purchased from Ebay. It's listed as a Land Cruiser Prado FJ120 steering wheel from MIT Accessories. It's a little thicker and has a much more comfortable feel than the original. It was a perfect fit and really easy to replace.

If you happen to have the Sport interior and want to stick with the original, I'll sell you my used one.

I also have a Prado 120 wheel in black piano. I have my original gray wheel from my 03 in near perfect condition I’d consider selling as well.

Thanks for your response......not exactly sure if I have the "Sport" Interior you mentioned but I have the blue leather interior with the lighter reddish colored Oak Wood trim (NOT the darker red colored wood)
So the Steering wheel would have this light Oak wood on it....the color of the rest of the Steering Wheel would be dark blue in color. If you have this color I'm certainly interested.

Can you post a pic of your interior? I've only ever heard of grey or tan for these GX's, I'm wondering if you've got the grey (bluish grey) and are just calling it blue, or if you've got something else going on there.

it’s got to be gray. And the 03’s had light wood trim, so he’s got the wheel I replaced.

Thanks BlackCat81

Sorry for the confusion on my end in terms of color of the wheel. Yes I have the dark gray steering wheel .
BlackCat81 you mind posting a pic of your wheel in here? If it's in near perfect condition as you say I'd like to purchase it from you.
