I am no longer offering these services but can advise on seat covers etc. As of 2 years later, my Lseat covers are falling apart. Recommend Ridies.


The seats pictured are from my personal '99 LX470. I used Lseat covers as replacement leather. While I was there I deep cleaned and rebuilt the seats.


Note: this is only for the seats and center console (first and second rows). I do not reupholster steering wheels, shift knobs, etc.

Before. The original leather was destroyed and in dire need of replacement.

After. Lseat covers installed on seats and center console.


*NOTE: after two years my Lseat covers are starting to fall apart. Recommend rides.

Lseat covers cost $408 including shipping and other misc materials (hog rings etc).

Lseat LX470 covers (front): 1998-2007 LX470
Lseat LC covers (front): 1998-2007 TLC

Can you do 80 series seats
 
I’ll probably be doing this next year. Was underwhelmed by a local shop during a call with them. Saving this thread for then.

Glad to hear it!

I too was underwhelmed by several upholstery shops when I first started. I decided to give it a go myself and the results turned out much better than the examples they showed me.

Our trucks deserve the best. And that's what I want to deliver.

^steering wheel. I exchanged the destroyed OEM wheel for one from eBay. The link to the part is here: eBay steering wheel

They tend to sell out pretty regularly so I will include a link to the seller, here: euromotorsport

I will replace steering wheels if requested, and gear shift knobs, but I will not upholster them. Too much effort for not enough reward.
