I dont wanna be a downer, but you change out the steering wheel and insurance finds out, they will be pissed. No more airbag...

Its real dangerous and voids insurance....litterally.

But

The adapter from a 91 probe is about the closest youll find aftermarket.

Its a real bitch to get the airbag to pop out and its no fun trying not to kill the clock spring.

Srslytho, if its a street vehicle, its not worth the legal shit.

 

thats rite, its a standard safety feature, and it will screw u if u crash, and r hurt, ins wont cover u.

 

call your insurance company first. some yes SOME might care. but most yes MOST insurance cos wont care. i have state farm, one of the bigget insurance cos out there and they WILL still cover you.

FYI thats liek sayin your insurance co wont cover you if you dont have your seat belt on..

but to answer the OP question, no one makes a adapter to put after market wheels on the 355....yet.

 

First of all, no one makes the adapter, secondly, bk2life, you better check again with State Farm. They will not cover me. The bag is a federally required safety part, and I am not allowed, by federal law, to remove it for on highway use, only for offroad use. With that said, the only aftermarket steering wheels I know of for our trucks are available at carid.com. One costs $100 and the better one, like Jesse's, http://www.355nation.net/forum/carid-com/50591-steering-wheel.html, is $300. The link in Jesse's thread does not work, but if you go to car id, they are listed under the colorado.

 

I know someone using this on an S10, shouldn't it work for the 355 as well?



NRG Short Hub Steering...

 

I used the 91 Probe adapter at first. Wasn't safe at all. So I cut the stem off the steering column on a S10. Cut the stem off my Canyon, then welded the S10 stem on. Just used an adapted for the S10 and worked perfect. It's nice and sturdy too. Iv tried multiple times trying to break the welds to test them. My welds held fine.


As for the insurance, I have State Farm. I called them after a huge fight on my old thread about aftermarket steering wheels. State Farm said would not affect any coverage till I wasn't wearing seat belts.

The pic shows a grant 5 hole, you have a momo 6 hole. You can use a aluminum sweet quick disconnect and weld on the spline shaft. Hog out the plastic a little bit bigger than in guydro92 pic.

 

Guess it depends on where you live, as my agent says federal and state law requires the equipment, an airbag, and without it she says my policy is void because I would not be legally driving the automobile.

 

Yes, you could also do that. I just happen to have a junk S10 sitting around. So chopped the stem off the steering column and used that on my Canyon.

thanks for everyones help but not concerned about insurance or airbag just thought because yall are up on alot of mods maybe by now there were parts to buy or a repair shop that would have the parts for this swap.

 

I installed a aftermarket steering wheel and have had no bad experiences. I also changed out the front and rear brake system on the truck with good luck. Just didn't like the abs system. It is your truck and you do what you please. Just keep the seat belts in check. :th_deadplace:

 

yeah its whatever.. people will tell you omg don't notch your truck it will void the insurance :rtard: wont matter.. most places dont give a fuck and wont notice unless you tell them or raise hell about something that makes them REALLY go over your truck with a fine tooth comb..

I had a lowered truck with a notch and TOTALED it.. and insurance damn near payed me more than I payed for it (and I have state farm)

as long as you dont wreck your truck BECAUSE the notch broke off.. then wont care

as long as you dont sue your insurance company BECAUSE you took the airbag off your own truck, they wont care..

they dont care what you do to your truck UNLESS what you did causes you to have a wreck or directly causes something to happen..


Like putting exhaust on a BRAND NEW truck.. then the exhaust rattles.. they haven't voided your warranty on the TRUCK.. but they sure as shit aren't going to fix your rattle under warranty.

make sense?

 

^^^ yeah that!

I really want to do this

 

Thanks! What you do to mount your momo steering wheel? I'd love to put a momo steering wheel on, just don't have the money. Got the Grant wheel dirt cheap from a friend. So can't complain too much.

Aluminum 3 hole to 5 hole or 3 hole to 6 hole adapter. Weld spline on shaft. You have a nice wheel already id save for another mod!

 

Any updates on an adapter?

 

I have a 12 Z71 V8 and the steering wheel looks like a cheap piece of junk, have thought about this alot. I just wonder if a wheel off a 12 silverado or something like that would work. I know the silverado has buttons for stereo etc, may have to go back to before buttons but surely something better out there, its the cheesiest part of the interior imo...Roost
