I just did my LC seat bottom by ordering through Richmond leather auto upholstery. It took me 4 hours.

Looks great. Did you only change the drivers bottom? Did you replace the foam cushion?
Just did the leather. You can bring some life back into the foam by hitting it with a steamer. It kinda ‘re inflates’ the foam.
Land Cruiser heaven has 200 seat covers and other series of foam replacements. You might reach out and see if they have 200 foam available or in development. https://store.lch4x4.com/200-series/?page=3

Thanks I look into that
I need to re-dye my black leather seats in my '13 LC, but the pictures I've seen from the Seat Doctor's dye aren't promising. Has anyone had good luck with re-dying black seats?
I have used their dye. A little bit of prep and ‘less is more’ when adding the dye worked well for me. It probably depends on how bad your seats are. It won’t help with deep cracks , but some minor discoloration, it will work well. Definitely get a matte finish if you use it though.
Great advice! Thanks!
I had the dealer replace my driver seat bottom leather cover with OEM part before I took her home. Was not cheap. Like $600-$800 for the part IIRC.

That looks good. I need to to my DS front bottom only.
Is there a video or do they include directions to do it?

Another option I've been eyeing for about 12 months now. If you replace the driver's bottom, let us know how it goes as I need to do the same.

My passenger seat on my '16 200 had some deep discolored scratches when I bought it in 2019, almost like someone dragged jean rivets or something over it a lot. I used this and it still looks good to date:

You can restore most foam if you don't want to purchase new foam. As long as it's not torn up:

I did their seat base only along with a new foam cushion from Toyota.
Car has 220k miles. You can see the back bolster has some color worn off. I should have done both. I might re-dye / color those two outer panels.
Tips:
Get a hog-ring pliers.
Carefully remove the heated seat layer. I used upholstery adhesive to glue it to the new seat foam (Toyota plastic used tag clips, like a new clothing tag.)
It was pretty easy and they fit just like factory. I doubt a heavily used cushion would look as good as the new.
I also used an upholstery brush, warm water and diluted degreaser to clean the upper seat. The color match is really good.

I did this about 6 months ago. If you are replacing the covers it's crazy not to invest in new seat foam, at least on the bases. Good job!
