Coverado seat covers

[ElliottB]

After talking to several upholstery shops and getting quotes to re-do my front seats ranging from $1500-$2200, I decided to take a chance on some cheapo covers from Amazon. Obviously not real leather but initial quality is pretty good. Had to remove armrests but fitment is quite good. Color match is decent but not perfect. Overall a good value at ~$100.

How hard were they to install?

They look awesome for such a cheap price. And digging the color!

Can you post the link? I found several but I want to make sure I purchase the same color/fit.
Thanks

I cannot get the link to attach due to hyperlink restrictions, but these are basic coverado beige seat covers. Should come up on a rudimentary amazon search.

Install is very simple. Just slide over the original seats and buckle them into place. I removed the plastic side molding to tuck in the sides/front for a flush fit. After a few days of driving, no complaints. Don't slide around, no wrinkles, staying put. I'm curious about how long they will hold up but considering I only drive 3000 miles per year, should last long enough for me.

Off topic, but what roof rack is that?

ARB roof rack.

What year 4 runner floor mats are those? Did you have to trim them to fit?

Thanks. These look like the seats:

5 months later.. How are they holding up?

Any updates on these seat covers and if they have held up?

 

[FrontRunnerChris]

Any word on if these will work with the Captains chairs?

Apologies for not replying sooner, I don't log on often. After 1.5 years, the seat covers still look identical to the original pics. Honestly, I am surprised given the price point, but cannot complain. No tearing of seams, no dye transfer from jeans/clothes, holding strong!

This seem like a great cost-effective option, but I don't think I can live without armrests because I'm so used to them in the truck. Any other options out there people have found specific to the GX470?

 

[ElliottB]

You can still retain the arm rests, I just decided not to use them. There are other vendors that sell arm rest replacement leather.

Thank you for posting these covers! Installed them over the weekend and made the cuts to reinstall (recovered) armrests today. Massive budget-friendly improvement on an interior very much showing 300k+ miles of wear.
They’re much more supple than ancient Lexus leather, so the seats don’t feel slick anymore.

Those look great! Are the “beige” option on Amazon?

Also - how did you redo the arm rests?

Thank you!

They look good with the ivory interior but definitely aren’t an exact match. They are the beige choice, but I bought on eBay.

For the armrests I bought the “ivory/beige” GX470 armrest covers from ‘KBH Motor’ on eBay, but I suspect a lot of the options out there are the same.

I noticed that prices seemed considerably higher for both items on Amazon, so you might search around a bit. I spent about ~$110 on eBay to do the seat covers and armrests.
