The airbags are still there; just wouldn't deploy properly. The OEM seat covers have some breakaway stiching and attachment points for the mechanism that deploys the SRS airbags. The leather is already starting to conform better. The inserts were purposely orderd wrinkled/gathered to match the...
Genuine and I'm completely satisfied. Nappa would be great option if doing all three rows. The standard leather texture matches OEM better and I didn't do the second row, so better match.
Ridies front seat set installed this week (seats, headrests, armrests. console, rear map pocket). @Ridies set took 4 weeks from order to delivery.
Thanks to @bhamnole for recommending The Trim Shop in Birmingham, AL for the install.
Really impressed with fit and finish of the Ridies product...
I saw that one listed in Orlando... Been on the market a while and I figured for a reason. The spotty history steered me a way; that and the poor communication with the 3 different people trying to sell it (multiple FB marketplace ads).
Would you mind giving your installer in MS a shoutout? I have Ridies inbound and will be driving through MS, so I could use your installer; otherwise I've got a couple shops quoting 3-350 for front row/center console/armrests.
After reading all of the reviews on Lseats, Landcruiser Heaven and Ridies, I ordered the Ridies three weeks ago. Should be shipping within a week. The day after I submitted my order I was contacted to confirm the various options and was given an estimated ship date of 4 weeks. Will report...
So did you purchase the vehicles with rust issues sight unseen? It's very easy to detect this problem with a physical inspection or even appropriate photos. It seems like you could avoid rust problems by buying vehicles that have not lived in rust prone states.
I like your RAM mount install... I'm considering duplicating this, but I will be using my Hondo Garage Big Squeeze tablet mount. If you haven't seen their mounts (phone and tablet); they are the best currently available for off-road purposes. I've owned RAM phone and tablet holders as well.
Seems consistent with the market right now. If it were my money I’d buy a LX570 with 200K miles with that budget.
If you really value the low miles and are set on the 470 then jump on it.
Mileage was/is 235K, vehicle is at shop where I had the work done. I can't pick it up for a few weeks. My pre-purchase inspection was basically done via facetime. Crazy world, crazy times.
