Gear shift leather

[Marvelicious]

It looks great in the box. Sadly I lost track of it and never got to install it. If it fits like shown in the photos it would be identical to the factory.

I've since retired and in the process of cleaning out the mess that I call my garage. I hope to find it and install it.

I have never done anything like this...

- I'll probably throw some rubber care product on there to clean it up at some point.

Compared to the rest of your interior, it's absolutely splendid!
Seriously tho- I bought Lee's and I mostly like it and would buy it again. I had to go all autistic and make it super tight though then carve out the od button for clearance. User error there, but I'd buy it again.

Thanks @Nad Aitch

My leather shift covers are the nicer and easy solution.

LOL - I'm wrapping up a main engine wiring harness install and am moving on to removing other folks' DNA from the vehicle (will get more spartan before it gets better)

I respect your courage. Everytime I see a dash torn down I just try to change the subject and think happy thoughts, knowing mine is full of mouse droppings and hornets nests and one day it must be done.

Congratulations on the retirement!

What do you know. I unearthed the leather kit complete with instructions in Chinese.

I've been hoping someone would come out with a stick on wood cover that looks like this

I remember seeing that the leather is the same part # for 98-02 non-wood optioned 100s so you should be able to toss on a wood one from a LX470.

Happy that there's no fake wood on my Cruiser

Here you go.

Had some time today and banged out the leather. Very pleased with the results.

I’m going to contact them and see what they can come up with for price of a large order.

I’ll put them on my site for cost.

 

[Broski]

Let us know when they go live

@landtank
Did you ever buy a batch? Went back to order another off aliexpress and looks like they've disappeared. Seller I purchased mine from isn't selling any more either.

 

[landtank]

I could not get a response from anyone.

Great news, you can still get these. For whatever reason these aren't sold on alibaba anymore. However I found a bunch of listings on eBay and one expensive one on amazon. I went with the eBay one.
Here's the specific ad I bought: Pardon Our Interruption... - https://www.ebay.com/itm/126232807387
You can find more by searching something like "land cruiser 80 knob leather". There's a bunch of vendors.
Redid my spare knob.
