These look really good. Better than wet okole IMO. How is the install? Does it install over the cloth or do you remove the cloth and then install the leather?
You remove the factory cloth covers.
Install isn't very difficult to be honest, just a little time consuming. Anyone with a couple ounces of mechanical knowledge can do it. Be prepared to have some sore hands and a few cuts on your fingers if you're not careful. The metal seat frames can have some pretty sharp edges in places if you don't watch out.
You'll need a basic screw driver set, ratchet set (10mm, 12mm, and 14mm), a panel popper/clip remover tool (not 100% needed, just useful), hog ring pliers (got mine at tractor supply), some hog rings (also purchased at tractor supply), zip ties (easier to use in some places instead of hog rings), and fresh sharp razor blades.
There's a few you tube videos you can watch. Also, when you disassemble the old seats, you'll see how they're put together.
Feel free to PM me as well. I've installed 3 sets of them now so I have a pretty good understanding at this point. First time I ever did it was on my tacoma, it took me about 6 hours to do the seats, then another 2-3 hours to figure out the door panel inserts. With the Tundra and the 4runner, my strategy was to do one seat per night during the week after work. For example, this past week on the 4runner, I did the back seat bottom on Tuesday night, the back seat back on wednesday, passenger seat thursday, Driver's seat friday, and door panel inserts saturday, and did the final wiring on the heated seats Sunday afternoon.
Here's a couple threads from TacomaWorld I put together:
Re-did my leather armrests today. Learn from my mistake - Tacoma World Forums
Installed the leather this weekend. - Tacoma World Forums
I also have a few pics from the Tundra install and a few from the 4runner install (4th gen).
Sorry for the thread hijack lol
