Group Buy: DCTMS Carbon Fiber/Leather RS550 Steering Wheel

[Endokendal]

Got it all mounted up today. Absolutely love it. Definitely thicker than stock and just feels really good. Took less than an hour once I got back from buying an impact drill and a 24 mm socket, lol. I needed the tool anyway. Thanks to DCTMS for the quality product and to 50 Deep for organizing the group buy!:cheers:

Looking good there guys!

I just noticed the buttons on the 350 are different than the GT. That button configuration makes so much more sense. I hate the set up of my cruise control. Too many buttons.

For the price we're getting I've been good with waiting a bit. Thanks for getting this put together!

The installed pics are definitely helping with the wait too lol. Thanks to everyone posting!

Are you selling your old one?

I'm not. I generally keep all original parts that I mod. Not sure why, I have this duality in mindset where I want to mod but have option to be a purist later. ;-)

Hang in there folks... definitely worth the cost and wait. I’m pulling for the rest of you to get them soon!

I keep checking the mail but all I get are credit card offers and mortgage refinance offers.

This made me laugh hard. Maybe I can sneak a few in your box when the steering wheel ships

I should have another timeline update for you guys early next week. We shipped about 3 gray leather steering wheels. I am anxiously awaiting those photos also.

50, received my gray one on Tuesday but it was shipped to my inlaw's house (which is no big deal. Used my wife's PayPal and I guess somewhere that address popped up). I'll get it next weekend and post pics if none have been posted by then.

There are a couple of CJ Pony Parts steering wheel install videos on youtube. The first is when Bill went to the GT350 wheel, the second is when he went to an aftermarket wheel. You can tell he learned a few tricks from experience between the videos - watch them both and you'll be in good shape. It really isn't difficult, just don't rush it and you'll be fine.

Just to reiterate a couple of points:
1. Disconnect your battery!
2. I found his second method for removing the airbag easier. He uses a hex key (4mm I think?) instead of the small pick, and I found this method to be extremely easy. You feel around for the spring, push on it, and the airbag just pops right out.

Those install videos are gold. Good info.
