Great job! I did this when I converted my Gen1 Tacoma to 4runner leather seats and it was way easier than I thought it be! I did replace the foam with new OEM though. My back used to hurt after an hour of driving but now a trip from SF to Tahoe is no problemo!

For those who own a newer models that comes with Airbags, be real careful at the time you remove the seat from it position on the floor due to the cable that is hooked to the floor and also with the wiring, I do recommend disconnect the battery and even with that precaution make sure you have a radio with a security code, which you will need it at the time you hooked the power back

Remember you also need to discharge the air bag capacitor as well… just removing the battery isn’t enough… I’ve popped more than my share of air bags forgetting to discharge the cap.

Excellent thanks! I plan to do mine after receiving the leather. I will do one seat per weekend. Starting with the passenger seat first. The next weekend should go smoother with the driver's side seat. Thank you.

@5ivedaysproductions630 27 күн бұрын

That would be smart. I just did this and started with my passenger seat, and it ended up taking me way longer due to the heating elements sewn in. I was driving my kids around in the back seat for days but thankfully I still had the drivers seat untouched!

Michael, did you buy the seat fabric already sewn together into a cover, or did you have Corrie sew it up for you? I ask because I am going to be redoing the seats in both my Bronco and my wife’s 4Runner. Also while I’m in there we are going to be adding heated seats along with full power adjustments.

Or most just let the seats sit in the Sun for a few hours before installing. Either way, the seats should tighten up shortly with the truck parked outside.
