    Good seat cover for 200 series?

    Sounds good. The EKR covers in my Nissan truck have a pocket on the front, but the 200LC ones don't. I wonder if that's something you could request? I honestly don't find them to be that useful, but maybe I'll consciously try employing them a little more regularly and see how it goes. Thanks for...

    Yeah, and if any chipped off, you don't want that going into your water pump.

    2008-2018 Radiator Failure and Public Service Announcement

    I'm sure you could research this, but you really can't clean the area enough. Use degreaser (or just dish soap), then isopropyl, then scuff with sandpaper, which not only creates bumps for the epoxy to grab onto, but also exposes fresh virgin plastic. Then, wash any sandpaper residue out with...

    2008-2018 Radiator Failure and Public Service Announcement

    Fiberglass or carbon fiber mat should be fine. I just went with fiberglass because I had some laying around. Carbon fiber is probably even stronger, but this is just for shearing/lateral tearing strength, which I don't believe is the weak link the chain in most cases. The weak link is most...

    Look back in this thread. As preventative measure, PROPERLY DONE JB Weld should significantly delay, or even prevent the leak. Once the crack is bad, or has started leaking, you're probably fighting a losing battle. To get the best results - Thoroughly CLEAN and SCUFF the surface to improve...

    Good seat cover for 200 series?

    How is the side by the airbag pocket/B pillar? You can see in my video it's a little loose there, not a huge issue. Also, has anyone asked EKR if the spray bottle + heat gun trick is a good idea on their seats?

    Good seat cover for 200 series?

    You're very welcome! Glad it's working out for so many people! I'm definitely loving mine. A few notes: - Headrests are indeed very tight on the "old" (???) version that I bought. Hopefully they're updating these for future buyers. - Did anyone else have the issue of loose/slop on the side...

    JBL Synthesis Sound Audio System Speaker Wiring Diagram Pinouts

    Oh, also, apparently (we'll see), the EKIY head unit I got retains the steering wheel controls via a CAN bus interface. We'll see how this works in actual practice. If the volume rockers are indeed analog, that won't work, but if they are, they'd have to be controlling a transistor (VCA)....more...

    JBL Synthesis Sound Audio System Speaker Wiring Diagram Pinouts

    Thanks for the info. I decided to go with a "Tesla style" android head unit with the UIS7862 chip that supports digital optical out, this allows use of a real DSP and fancy amps. For that, I got a MiniDSP Harmony (12ch out) and for the front speakers, Biketronics amps, which contain Hypex UcD...

    Good seat cover for 200 series?

    I've got a Toyota (not Lexus) Cruiser, so no cooled seats. The heated seats will work fine. Faux leather and a little padding is not a good insulator....the heat has to go somewhere, so that shouldn't be an issue at all. If I understand correctly, cooled seats rely more on evaporative cooling...

    Good seat cover for 200 series?

    Also, cloth isn't waterproof, unless there's something under the cloth, or if you add some kind of hydrophobic spray coating. Cloth can be removed and washed though, but honestly, removing these once installed, washing, then reinstalling would be a PITA. Is anyone realistically gunna do that?

    Good seat cover for 200 series?

    Yeah, if you take the time to remove the seat(s) and do some extra pulling and prodding, you can get them looking almost perfect....certainly much better looking than the typical old battered seat with cracking leather.

    Good seat cover for 200 series?

    Haha, good eye my man! Yeah that's a Leslie 122RV....you can also see the foot pedals for a B3, and maybe even the legs of a B3 at some point. My living room is a sea of cool stuff that very few people know is cool ;)

    Good seat cover for 200 series?

    I'll also say I HIGHLY recommend removing the entire seat to get the best results. Yes it'll take 10-20 minutes (or less) the remove the seat, but it'll save you WAY more time than that, and you'll have a much easier time getting much better results.

    Also, if this was helpful, I get $5 off my next EKR order for anyone who uses this link https://www.ekrcover.com/?ref=JsleuMHR&sscid=c1k7_11mvv8& I might wanna grab matching back seat covers at some point, so it'd be cool to get a little discount. To be clear, a possible $5 credit played no...

    Good seat cover for 200 series?

    Okay, I finally made a video with a detailed look at these seat covers, not only installed, but also going through the installation steps. Watch til the end, because there is some operator error on the headrest and seatback that I clear up in the last 5 mins or so.

    Good seat cover for 200 series?

    Honestly, the only thing I'm a bit concerned about is long-term durability. The leather feels so nice and soft and smooth and supple, that I'm not sure how well it will hold up over the years, especially under more harsh conditions. Time will tell....but if it can remain in reasonably good shape...

    Good seat cover for 200 series?

    I got mine and they are excellent quality. The "leather" feels much better than the stock leather in my TLC200, very soft, supple feeling. Fit is excellent as well. I'm planning to do a video soon, just haven't had time, and weather has been crap here in the PNW.

    I'll try to post pics soon, been busy, but they are awesome. I've also got Husky floor liners but light gray interior.
