Who makes a nice leather seat re upholstery kit for 3rd gen's?

Looking to swap out my cloth with a nice genuine leather seat kit but I am not finding any for my 01

Any suggestions?

Finding near mint oem is almost impossible it seems so that's out and cost is not a big issue as I am expecting to pay a lot.

Did you look at Katzkin? Metric TLC also has one.

Is there a write up for installing these things?

Thanks! I may just go with this kit which looks like 1,660 when it's all said and done.

Here is one to look at.

"These fit factory leather US spec 4Runners and will not fit cloth models."

From the site...something to think about.

Couldn't you get new aftermarket seats for the same cost as leather?

I just noticed that. My factory leather seats that are manually adjustable are identical to the electrically adjustable seats in a Limited. I see no reason to think that the leather covers would not swap over.

Also, Metric TLC's cover patterns are based off of the dealer/port installed leather covers that would be installed on 4Runner's that came from the factory with cloth.

I would compare OEM part number between models or better yet just ask Metric why they state that.

I'll take your cloth seats if they are in good condition!

I hate leather, too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter!

i agree. Or you could do a seat swap from a different car with better seats than the OEM seats. I actually am in the middle of a leather seat swap myself! From a 2000 Range Rover Here check it out. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/174055-rangw-rovr-leather-seats-3rd-gen.html

Those kits seem very expensive. What would it cost if you took it to an upholstery shop? $2k?

In looking at both it appears that that is correct so I may just go to the yard to hunt down worn or torn leather seats.

I seriously don't believe that. The foam and leather covers are identical between an SR5 and Limited. Do you have the cloth sport seats or the base cloth seats? Base seats have completely different foam. Like I said, ask him why.

Mine is a sport, Is there a difference between sport and limited?

Upon further research it appears the foam is the same as stated above just differences in the stitching patterns.

Yup. Look at this 4Runner. The is the pattern the Metric bases their covers off of.
