i can't say- I had to top off for a few months last year and they still look new. If you like the color, I'd go for em vs grey.

Thanks E- I'm slowly getting her where she deserves to be. Gotta show off the new seats I did last year- night and day all around! https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rehabbing-my-1970-fj40-seats-start-to-finish.1366349/post-16035362

Glad you're happy with the Kendas- for the record, my MT's have been great (I thought I was getting the RT's, but the mechanic got these instead. Don't know what someone meant about going sideways with these, they've been great so far)...

EPIC. Thanks for the story! Cream at a HS, crazy.

Like, Live at the Fillmore, or live at the Fillmore? Were you there?

I finally had all seats ready to reinstall into the empty 40. I can't tell you how happy I am with the upgrade- not only the looks but they're so damn comfortable. It took me 3 years to get to it, wish I had done it sooner. I think it took me around 25 hours, and about $1,500. If you're on the...

I did use wire around the edges of the covers, and had to poke the wire through in places. It was a little secondary to the zip ties and screws, but I think helpful overall to give the screws something to anchor against. The wire was a bit time consuming but essential, I think. The driver's...

It was now time to address the most important seat- mine. What a POS. I hadn't realized that the PO (which is most of the term "POS") added a DINING ROOM CUSHION to his redo years ago. Just wow. No wonder my spine came out my mouth on every bump... Again, fortunately all springs were intact...

I did order a bunch of hog rings from SOR, but after the first one I said F it and bought a bunch of zip ties. A hell of a lot easier for me, and I'd say why not. Note the zip ties here: Then I screwed the freshly-painted back panel on: I put all my body weight onto the spring/foam/cover...

Turns out at least one critter got in through the rip in the backrest...but never got out. I cleaned and rust converted this and it cleaned up nice. All springs were intact, too, which was a bonus. Here's one of the "a-ha" moments I had when searching other threads- I meant to tag the user...
