yup it is, and later on down the road u may find it to peel away some. its not recommended but some leather conditioner may help it. be careful though b/c it will be slick.

Yes sir! If you don't have the plastic version, you have a 'leather wrapped' steering wheel. Once DCX wraps the wheel, they coat the leather with paint. Early vehicles like mine will experience paint peeling anywhere from 50,000 to 80,000 miles. Once again, poor quality due to the cheapness of DCX.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel in my TJ is at 117K miles and almost 6 years of daily driving with no peeling to show for it. I can only hope the KJ's holds up as well.
