Re: How to: Install RTL steering wheel
I cannot see a spacer working. There isn't enough thread to just stick something behind the wheel more than 1/8" or 1/4". An adapter would have to be bolted onto the shaft - it has to have a splined / female end, and some way to secure it on the OEM shaft. Then the other end has to be splined / male and threaded to accept the bolt that holds the wheel on.
Actually, a custom shaft might actually be easier. Cut the old one and weld in a piece to make it longer. Or you could look at making new brackets that hold the shaft and tilt mechanism.

Re: How to: Install RTL steering wheel
It's been a while since this was posted, but can anyone tell me how long this should take replace the steering wheel? I purchased the wheel skins cover and like others, I'm not happy with how it fits around the fat spokes of the wheel. Replacing the wheel looks awesome!

Re: How to: Install RTL steering wheel
I think you could probably do it in about an hour. It's really simple. Just let the car sit for 30min to be sure there is NO power that could deploy the airbag. From there, pull the airbag (2 screws) pull the wheel (1 nut and some wiggling) then swap the trim (like 6 screws) and reverse.
If I were a dealer I'd be offering this upgrade for people.

Re: How to: Install RTL steering wheel
Bringing old posts back from the dead!
-Brandon, big thanks to you for the walk-through, it took me roughly one hour from start to finish to complete this mod on a 2008 RTX. One thing that I did notice and I'm not sure if it's for the updated ridgeline models 08+ ?? but I did not have to cut/splice/re-pin any cables mentioned. The harnesses ordered in on the first page had the same identical plugs for the horn. I did not have to cut and splice the male connector mentioned. If you have an upper year model, you may not need to purchase more than one wiring harness to do this install. Thanks again Brandon!

Re: How to: Install RTL steering wheel
Thanks,
I will be perfroming this mod on my 07 RTX as well. I've noticed my wheel start to flake. It's because my palms are sweating when i'm passing all those Tacomas on the highway
