So is he clipping the lower part of the wheel to make it flat? Almost thought it was a 4G Eclipse as its close.

Gotcha. Maybe one day we can compare.

He says modifications are needed for a 1G and 2G, but not a 3G. I thought the 3G wheel fits a 1G and 2G no problem?

If it’s anything like my 2001 Montero the center spline and hardware are completely different.

It's just weird cause I thought the 3G fit no issues, and his post says 1990-1996 needs modifications, but 1997-2000 don't. Doesn't make sense to me. :d ontknow: Unless it's something with the steering wheel cover :d ontknow:

The column and shroud hardware were the same from 96 onward. The clockspring changed in 97. So probably a different airbag connector.

He posted pictures. You can’t tell. I’m not worried about it.

Maybe steering wheel radio controls too? Cause I think 97+ you could at one point get a pioneer adapter to let the stock steering wheel audio buttons work. I know cause Pezcore had it on his 97.

He hit me up with extra shipping charges as covid has stopped a lot of overseas shipping.

So this expensive wheel just got worse.

This probably doesn't help you much, but I just got a small package from Britain-land in under a week. Sent on the 28th, arrived today.

The Tangerine Tantrum is upset with Germany right now. Maybe that's why your stuff is delayed. :lol:

No shipping from Europe has been super slow during the pandemic. It took my cousin over a month (5 or 6 weeks I think) to get a package from Norway. They are catching up now though since there are more flights, but they were WAY behind. My last one from Norway took 2 weeks.

Can't wait to see what it looks like on the dash. At the moment, it looks very "fat" sitting there lol.

I didn’t notice that till someone else said that. I think it’s no bigger than modern steering wheels though....I hope.
