New Leather Kits for the 80 series Land Cruiser

smcphc · 10-17-08, 08:39 PM

I ordered a set of leather for the first and second row seats from Shane about two weeks ago. I wanted the same colors as the Metal Tech seats at the beginning of this thread. The box arrived this afternoon and everything was better than expected. I already had my second row seats out and sitting in the garage, so I dove right in and did the passenger side lower. I'll do a complete write up in a separate thread, but I'll just say that I was pretty confused about the whole affair, even after reading a bunch of threads on leather installation, but once I got going disassembling the seat and removing the old leather things started making sense about how things are held in place. It took me about two hours to do the lower, and I stopped for the evening after that. I'm definitely learning from experience, so I expect things to get easier as the job goes on.

I'll be getting with you in a month or two to get some leather for my '91. The cloth seats gotta go.

My 40 seats are holding up great, love 'em

Good to see the Flea-bay store is back open

I'm looking to replace the skins on my front seats only, 1995 factory grey leather. Is the color match close enough to do just the front were it won't be too noticeable? I will also be sending you an email.

Thanks,

Thanks!

Thanks,

It is close enough, I just recommend doing /buying both as it nice to have it all new. But i respect a budget.

This seems like a steal for such high quality OEM-like replacement leather. I am just hoping you will be making these in the future at a similar price when I can afford them! The

is down with the idea, just lacking the funds with me being an unemployed grad student.

Thanks Guys for all the order the past weeks.

If you have not got an email with tracking you will when they ship.

Thanks!

So the LC im looking at has great rear seats but the front are just a little worn. If I replace the front leather with your kit will it match the rear seats and 3rd row seats?

I HIGHLY recommed doing both front and middle as you must understand that one row will be new and the other is not.

Match in leather and color, but not ten years of wear.

Buy both if you can.

I've got a 97' LC and will be buying new leather from you in the next couple months. While the leather isn't in the greatest condition, it's livable, the real problem is the seat cushioning. I'm replacing the leather and cushions at the same time so I can have all new seats. Do you sell/know someone who sells seat cushions?

Holy crap... those are glorious!

The lowers can be had at Toyota, Just contact CDan here on the board for mud price. I think about $135 for the bottom cushions.

Wondering if you can get the door side panels? Above the arm rests on the door.

I can ad a few yards of vinyl for a minimal price.

That's an option. Anyone take apart this area of the door skin yet? Does it go back together as good or get pretty flimsy?

I have had it done, Not seen it though.

trscott · 01-04-09, 09:17 PM

I've got a 1991 80 with manual cloth seats, 3 rows, and the front seats have gotten pretty well shredded. Grey interior. If you have covers for this model, what would you charge for two or three row seats with all the extras?

Can you supply a cover for the shifter console and the L/H shift boot?

Also, the passenger side rear door panel is a mess, the lower corner of the panel got kicked when a rhinoceros (well actually a teenager in snow clothes) kicked it. The board is cracked and needs to be replaced. The local dealer said he can't get them. Any ideas?
