DEFENDER BUILD (PART 2) - Steering Wheel Upgrade

[@_Kovayne]

Man, I have to admit, taking a hit with that hard piece of plastic/rubber is better than taking a huge bolt to the orbital 🤣in all seriousness, those Defenders are nice vehicles!

About 30yrs ago I had a 1985 Austin Mini. Had to change the wheel as the original was fouling on my legs. Put a Mountney 12" on it and it was amazing. Same process as yours just there. Nice job Mike.

Just a tip, when you're tightening bolts on anything round, do a criss cross pattern, like bottom right, top left, etc. Just keeps it more even and less likely for anything to work itself loose. Love these build videos!

Thanks, Mike, for showing us a skill to replace and fix a steering wheel and to Explain How to do it for the Land Rover.

[@Emjackson89]

Awesome job. Looks amazing. Definitely the best way to stop anyone trying to steal your defender. Can't drive it without a steering wheel attached lol

[@LifeofMikeOfficial]

Exactly

[@kingrafa3938]

Great job Mike. Looks awesome!

[@ArielleViking]

Great job Mike, sure looks nice and great to hear it’s better. 👍🏻

Having long legs, replacing with a slightly smaller, circular M-L wheel was brilliant. I can now move my foot between brake and accelerator whilst turning right!! Always a bonus.

Well that was an easy upgrade. The security factor is worth it. Looks like it gives you much more room with the smaller steering wheel.....Take care, Bluefin.

I've already fitted one of these steering wheels on my Landrover great addition

My Dad used to drive the family round in a few different Defenders over the years. I really wish they hadn't skyrocketed in price, otherwise I'd be owning one right now myself.

I might have missed it, but did you get rid of the old military Rover? That wheel just makes the vehicle "cooler" regardless of all the other advantages lol! Thanks Mike.

[@LifeofMikeOfficial]

No I haven't got rid of the Military one. I have been waiting for some warmer spring weather to begin the restoration of it!

[@ashleym4887]

Love the look of the steering wheel. I have looked at the Momo prototipo black edition but yours looks better. What moto Lito wheel is it and what size? Thanks and have just subscribed.

[@HeliRy]

Still blows my mind that the little pillow on the stock steering wheel didn’t contain an airbag. Like… what??? 😂

[@niles76]

Promo sm 🌸

[@garethraven3933]

What ever happened to your ex military land rover, have you still got it ?

[@LifeofMikeOfficial]

Yes still got it! Just been waiting on warmer spring weather to begin the restoration 😁

[@garethraven3933]

Awesome looking forward to that👍

[@bleakyfinder2692]

And then you sell it.
