upholstery

Hey guys - I am purchasing a new to me FJ62 from Wichita Kansas this Saturday. I plan on reupholstering the interior while adding BMW front seats. I think I am going to do a mix of Alcantara and Leather, or potentially cordura fabrics. How many square yards of material do I need to purchase...

Like many others, the left side of my driver's seat bottom is badly collapsed. So much so that it quite literally made my butt hurt from driving. I've been dragging my feet on doing a seat swap (probably Celica seats to gain some headroom), largely because I'll have to actually drive to pick...

I'm recovering the bottom portion of my 1977 FJ40 front seats using SOR foam and seat covers. I have 2 question(note zip ties are temporarily in place of hog rings): 1. It seems like I need to trim the foam to be able to attach the seat track to the front seat bottom cushion/frame(2 bolts each...

My rig is bone stock. I am the second owner and plan to keep it stock except for an eventual OME 2" lift. My OEM upholstery is in great shape. No rips, except one small tear in the vinyl in the rear bench seat. So, I am a bit torn on what to do. I definitely need to re-stuff the front seats...

I working on recovering my 1977 FJ40 jump sheets using the Spector Offroad deluxe seat covers. I am finding that a little bit of the foam on the back corner of the seat bottoms is exposed. I am also finding the bottom covers (where they screw into the back of the seat) do not extend as far as...

I got the fabric back on the front bottoms. Now Im onto the rear seat bottom. Having a hell of a time getting the hog rings and pliers around the center wire and any of the springs. Theres barely enough room in the spring cage for my hand and arm. Did a search but didn't find much of anything...

I have new seat covers, and seats without covers. This means no upholstery wire to transfer over to the new seat covers. I need one bucket seat and a bench seat's worth. Anyone?

Hey all. I'm not a club member so I hope it's cool to post. I live in Alexandria and recently bought one of the vinyl carpet sets from Trail Tailor on the main Mud site. I am wondering if anyone knows of a good upholstery shop in the area that might be able to do the fit. I am planning on...

Hello my name is Josh, I have been a 'mud' user for a couple months. I have learned a ton of great info from this forum. I purchased a 1998 LC100 with 242k miles. People on here seem more mature, less snobby, more friendly and willing to help than any other online forum I have participated in. I...

Hi everyone, I am refurbishing the rear bench seat in my FJ62 and the seat fabric needs a good good cleaning. It smells musty from the cruiser sitting for a long time at one point in its life. I disassembled the seat to paint the frame and springs, and while the fabric is off I would like to...

Hey Mudders, Looking for upholstery options for an HJ60 w/ bench seats. I really wanted to re-do them with SOR's covers but, they don't make them for bench seats. (what I'm shooting for below, same colors) Are there other options I haven't been able to find outside of having them redone at...
