After a few years the steering wheel started to delaminate, flake off, it's outer layer. While it wasn't that bad, I could feel the edges underneath my hands when I drove, and that bothered me. I had thought about covering the entire steering wheel in paracord, probably yellow and black to match the Jeep, but I just couldn't come up with enough time to sit down and do that. I did realize that the yellow was going to pick up dirt from my hands and I would have to take it off again to clean or replace it. So while wandering around WalMart I noticed that they had a Jeep steering wheel cover on the shelf. The things you find at WalMart other than strangely dressed humans..

This is an actual Jeep branded product and is really nice. The vinyl has a pad behind it so it has some cushion to it once you get it installed. It does fit a 14.5" to 15" steering wheel.
Installation:
As you can see the steering wheel is kind of gross as my wife put it.
Let the steering wheel cover warm up in the sun for a little while. This will make it a little more pliable. Position the letters where you want them and then starting with the top, slip the cover over the wheel and slowly work it over the edge of the steering wheel. This wil be a real pain to get on since it just barely fits. It took me about 4 tries to finally get it on. Then I realized that I probably shouldn't have put the white Jeep lettering right where my hands sit on the steering wheel.
Follow up: After having the cover on for a few months I am pleasently surprised that the white lettering has not picked up any dirt.
