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
Great advice!
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.
@@Gravel_Rat78 great addition
Looks absolutely stunning. Great job Michael!
Thank you!
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.
awesome job! thank you for detail technic show and display
They really turned out amazing
Freekn awesome, nicely done!
Great job Mike.
Yay! Dinner and a show.
Wow. Just Wow. What a job to tackle!
thank you share detail the video
from Australia
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 work!
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
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.
Nice job
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
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.
nice job..., did u do new leather yourself or paid 4 that, then install yourself???
where did you get the Replacement Upholstery from?
what thickness of the foam should i buy? one inch?
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?
Nice YT freighter ;) and a little ID4 tune at the end there too?
Hey Mikey, A job very well done. You certainly redefine the term "Slapping Leather" Just sayin. Cheers, Mate.
Why didn’t you add seat heaters I got a set from Amazon for 60 bucks and it was a beyond easy install when I added my Lseat covers to my 80
How 2 take out the whole seat on van econoline?
@12:40 Now that's what I call a bucket seat!
Hahahaha
Who did the stitching in the leather covering
Wondering will he do this for people I I’m need him to do mines 🤔
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.
Yo! You can get heated options - I got them ready to go from lseat.com.
@@OverlandBound I am going to be getting the parts from Ford and Toyota.
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!
That’s a small head gun to make the contact cement tacky before joining.
@@OverlandBound Okay I never saw you actually use the contact cement! So you did?
Would you suggest ? should i add Dimond stitches or just regular? where did you buy that foam?
Joann's Fabrics. I got 1" I believe. Thanks for watching!
Up next, how to change out the upholstery on the back seat!!
Sorry, can you do that over again? I was distracted by the incomplete YT 492727ZED in the background...
Haha - good eye my friend! I've been working up a studio-scale replica for a number of years.
Any coupon codes for your subscribers?
Any issues with adding foam and the cover being too small now?
Did you consider buying new OEM seat foam?
You wouldn't be able to find OEM seat foam for an old car like this.
@@dthorne4602 oem seat foam is still available
Need rebath to get into the car upholstery business😂
On average typically how much sqft of leather do you use for 1 car seat
These replacement car seat covers are plug and play, you don't measure anything
So, after everything, would you do it again?
He said it was easy. They look like new. What do you think?
I think you can steam them to get the wrinkles out.
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.
Ya they tightened up after a bit. You can see the difference in the final shots. They look great now.
@@OverlandBound they look great! Y’all are going to have a nicely refurbished and enhanced LC when everything is done. Thanks for some great ideas.
Wonderful result. But to be honest I would much prefer to have a craftsman like yourself renovate the seat than a man like myself who hasn't your talents
He kinda of reminds me of Jim Carrey lol
I got Tom Cruise vibes
I want to do this without removing my seats...
Why is the leather not taunt? It kind of looks....not finished.
It tightens up after install. After about 2 days it was taut.
@@OverlandBound Is there a way to post how the end product looks? Thank you for making this video. It has been helpful!
🤌🏾Wouldve been nice to see the sewing part, THATS the hard part
