87 4 Runner Build

Depending on what material those covers are made out of, you may be able to throw those in the washer, then dry the PISS out of them and get them to shrink a little. I need seat covers SOOOOO bad

Depending on your funds you can go very inexpensive (WalMart, Target...etc), or if you have some cash to spare you can get custom fitted seat covers. I went with Coverking after trying some store bought. Was not happy with the fit, or the way they would bunch up.

I bought the custom fitted dive suit material, two tone - safety orange, and black for the front and rear seats - man does it look great! Holds up well, easy to clean, and a quality product.

That's awesome! I want black and orange for sure. Are they completely waterproof?

Sorry for taking over your thread SV :( I'll PM riff raff
 
Coverking is $$$$$$ holy balls

Little secret on keeping the Coverking seat cover costs down - if you, or someone you know has a Costco membership you can order them through Costco, and save yourself a buttload of money.

That's how I did it and the cost savings were substantial. LOVE THE SEAT COVERS!

This is what they look like in my 93 T4R SR5

Those are some sweet looking seat covers! Waterproof?

Not exactly. When I drove into a deep hole water came all the way into the cab, and I was actually sitting in water until I got pulled out. The driver's seat was wet, but dried quickly. The dried on muddy water residue vacuumed right out.

The picture I posted was taken today, and they still look brand new. Even after the muddy water test.

(SV_Dude - Sorry for the hi-jack. No more about my seats. More about your build!

Yea... get your orange junk outta my thread :toilet:

haha, just kidding. It's all good. I wouldn't mind getting some of them if they were at a decent price. It's just at at $150 plus, I would rather just get my seats re-upholstered.

HEY!


Seats have an orange stripe, but my Runner is Toyota green!

:D

does it include the rear seat covers as well? can you get more pictures of front seats. mainly the sides. because i have SR5 seats with lumbar support adjustment. the NEOPRENE COVERS i picked says without lumbar knob
 
FoG posted pics in his build thread but I figured I should add some to mine as well :)

The goal of today was to just drive to the mountain and go putz around and explore. There wasn't any real place that we intended on going. We found some cool trails with some cool descents and climbs. It was an awesome day for all of us.

King of the hill :D

Backing up for about 1/4 of a mile because the trail came to a screaming halt with a nice drop off the side of the mountain.

One of my favorite shots of the day:

What the picture doesn't show is that I couldn't make it up the rock face. I tried a few different lines but the tires kept ending up in the dirt and just spun. One day I'll get lockers and obstacles like this will be a breeze!

Airing back up at the end of the day

I am going to remove the air tank from my 4runner and run a air manifold off of the compressor under the hood. It took longer than it should have to air up all of our tires. Once the tank was out of air the compressor was having to air up both a tire and the tank at the same time. If I was to just air up one tire with a full tank it would go really fast, but once the tank was empty it took WAY too long.
 
I envy you guys, getting to play in serious mountains whenever the urge strikes. The Black Hills are sweet, but they're only half as high as the Rockies. Looks like yet another fun outing!
