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.

Great job Mike.

After watching the console mock up video, I searched for replacement seats for your rig. I couldn't find the correct color and the seats weren't in any better shape than what you had. These turned out great.

Yay! Dinner and a show.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this video. I really like the fact of how you go into detail of how to install the hog rings with hog ring pliers. I’ve been really looking to replace the seat covers on my 32 year old car the only thing I was worried about was the seat foam whether I get it right or not, what type of leather did you use exactly? I heard that NAPA leather is the best either that or full grain leather.

Wow. Just Wow. What a job to tackle!

Nice work!

thank you share detail the video from Australia

Love it been tempted to have my seats redone, just don't want to pay for it. Where did you order you covers? And are you satisfied with the finish?

Great video it’s underrated

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.

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!

Nice job

Looks like it turned out awesome, great work! How do you find the comfort level compared to the seats prior to doing this repair?

Really great - especially with the extra foam. Night and day.

what thickness of the foam should i buy? one inch?

Hey Mikey, A job very well done. You certainly redefine the term "Slapping Leather" Just sayin. Cheers, Mate.

So to make new seats, could you hypothetically just remove the old leather and then put a seats cover hover the foam that's left?

How have these held up? I hear iffy things about LSeat leather and I'm trying to decide what to do about my seats. Tried the Procar Elite Lumbars and they're nowhere near as comfy as stock.

where did you get the Replacement Upholstery from?

Nice YT freighter ;) and a little ID4 tune at the end there too?

Where can i find seat covers like this for a 2012 honda crv ex-l? Are those after market, specific to that car or is it a universal seat cover? Thanks

nice job..., did u do new leather yourself or paid 4 that, then install yourself???

How 2 take out the whole seat on van econoline?

4:48 worse than your kid's legos :D :D :D I'm dying!

What's the green tool (wired) you're using on the foam before you attach it? I'm about to do the Exact. Same. Job... so thanks for the inspiration and instruction!

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.
