Ebay parts success story? Post them!

I just received custom seat covers for my LTD front seats. I need to find the time to strip to original leather off and install new ones plus the seat heaters I have left over from another truck I sold before using them.
Also looking at a high output alternator on eBay to upgrade my charging system.

It's a success story thread plus i'm naturally curious about these covers. Do they fit? how well do they fit? care to share a link?

Not sure if the guy was talking about these

1996 to 2002 Toyota 4Runner Upholstery Replacement Leather Seat Covers Oak Tan | eBay

I actually bought these a little over a year ago. They were the only seller selling OEM leather at the time.

Came out great. Need a set of hog ring pliers. The seller provides the hog rings. I replaced the foam also. From Toyota. I think its pretty much a perfect match.
 
Ive only bought a few things ebay made for the 4runner.

Cree cheap 4 banger LED lights. Work great, been on for years, no leaks.

Iggee Custom synthetic leather seat covers. BAD BAD BAD. Two years they are already trashed just from getting in and out.

Not for the 4runner I have had much success with parts like BOV, Wastegates, intercoolers, piping, exhaust manifolds, exhausts, ect....

Well damn, thank you for that. That's the answer I was looking for. I recently installed heated pads under the OEM leather and it was a pain so I considered buying new leather at the time while I had it all removed. I did not trust the ebay seller's long term quality. Also they are expensive, so I opted to bypass for now. My leather has no tears but isn't in the best shape. Thanks for sharing the link. The original poster didn't care to share a link or even say if it fit or not.
 
Funny I was just looking for some new seat covers. What an awesome price. It seems like there can be some things that work well. That is what this thread is all about.

I got a new aftermarket rear bumper for my 3rd gen from eBay for $80 bucks or so...everything worked out great. I'd done a little research going in so I knew that all the bolt holes would likely not line up perfectly. A few of them required a little widening but the replacement was pretty painless.

Agreed. They look great, and their charcoal color is a dead match for a grey interior, but even a foreign toothpick like me managed to trash the drivers side in less than 2 years.

Yeah my wife bought them for me. Let's say she was a little mad they feel apart so fast for the price.

I could never get the fit to my liking completely either. I'll try Neoprene next time.

Interested to see how the IAC holds up. $80 for a bumper is cheap. Glad to hear it worked out. On a separate note, I know those Neoprene seat covers are pretty sweet! Super Comfortable!

Great Thread Idea! Some stuff on Ebay is absolute garbage but some is also really good...

My vote goes for Aircabinmans stuff and the similar sellers of tune up kits etc...all OE parts they sell...I used his water pump/timing belt kit, so far so good...saves you the time of piecing everything together, and prices are cheap and usually free fast shipping


I got these wheel spacers from fleabay and the quality was superb. All four for the price of two Spidertrax. They've been on for 7 very abusive months and no issues at all.

X4 to these...great quality, same price as only 2 Spidertrax...
