Default Steering Wheel

OK. So I am tired of drving my Ram with a Chevrolet steering wheel cover turned around due to the OEM leather wrap looking like crap.

Picked up a spare steering wheel and have ordered a piece of leahter remnant that should cover it. VW posted a link a long time ago to a place in Dallas the rewraps these, but they wanted about $260 if I am not mistaken. So I thought I would give it a shot or three! Mine really needs it!

It will never end...but it will look good when I get closer!

I thought about doing bed liner today, but have to take father in law to VA clinic tomorrow morning so decided to wait until weekend. Went out back to bring Jag into garage to start back on it, and it would not start. Letting it charge up.....

WHAT wallet! I am unemployed now! And several folks are trying to talk me into opening a shop....

You'd have more money if you didn't own a Jaguar.
