It's been a couple of years since I checked, but was still available from Toyota at that point.

I have to agree with @UnderFire that the seats are not comfortable.

My problem with them is that the foam has broken down: Most specifically the driver's side bolster from getting in and out. When we bought our truck, Cliff, at 340k miles we immediately replaced the seats with 200k old seats for big improvement.

I really should have taken pictures before tossing them.

I guess getting foams is an option as well.

Or BMW F30 seats.

I just put upper and lower replacement genuine leather replacement covers in my 2000LTD with oak interior, and they are a perfect match in both pattern and color. While I was in there, I replaced both foam lowers and added seat heaters.

The OEM seats look absolutely factory fresh now. If I had to do it a second time, I could do the whole project on a Saturday afternoon easily.
how much did this whole project run you if you dont mind me asking?

I get the feeling that a lot of people dont want to drop the coin to refurb old seats when others that can be found cheap are available. I considered recovering my factory seats but the cost of one lower cover was more than i paid for a pair of classified murano seats that are a pretty close match. Even lucked into butt warmers and electric driver.
My 4R seats werent the least comfortable but these are a decade newer and you can feel it.
