    Hello all, I'm a college student in Texas. My tacoma was my first car and I've noticed that the steering wheel gets a little bit sticky in the summer heat from melting. I'm looking for suggestions for after market steering wheels that are made of a different material. Any help is welcome and appreciated :)

    I would either wrap the steering wheel in leather or find a replacement from another Toyota/Lexus of the same period. I'm using a wheel and airbag from a Camry. Some people use wheels from 4Runners or MR2s. I wouldn't make any replacement that eliminates the airbag.
