Let's see if I can answer all these questions:
1. 40th Ann. The dark brown in a perfect color match has been one of the sources of delay. Its no longer available and to have the supplier make it will require that we buy enough to make 20 seat sets. I don't see that happening yet, and no offense, but a $100 bill is not quite enough incentive for me or them.
2. Cloth has not been discussed because these guys only do leather. We'll see what the future holds.
3. Center console is a definite maybe...steering wheel is not. More to follow on $$.
I hate to do this, but if you have posted your desire to be added to the list in this thread but haven't emailed me, please email it to me with color and quantity (I stated that in the original thread.) I am passing these emails off on a helper and I don't want them to have to sift through this thread to figure out who wants what.

Also, once we get these sets coming, you guys with trashed driver's lowers sections need to get in touch with CDan and order the bottom foam. If you put a new cover on trashed foam its going to get trashed again real soon. Just FYI.
I see they only handle the leather
What about them making them all vinyl since they are doing the sides and back out of it ?
Sorry about the dumb ?s

Of course this starts to come together AFTER you total your 40th and replace it with a truck that looks just like TK's FAKE 40th.
I'll track this until the Anniversary leather is offered, then I'll follow your instructions.

Todd,
I'll ask about the full vinyl, not a bad idea.
Alf,
As for the 100, its not feasible unless you want to donate your covers to be used as templates. They will not be returned.
Garth,
My 40th ain't dead yet.
elmariachi,
I just emailed you

Update
I hate having to inform everyone of this, but this leather project is DEAD. I met with my contact yesterday afternoon and he tells me that due to new demands being placed on him by Gulf States Toyota, he is now not able to supply these interior parts at this time. Apparently there have been some changes in the way that Gulf States Toyota (distributor) is ordering vehicles from Toyota in Japan and the demand for port-installed leather has exploded since April 1. He tells me that they have "thousands" of vehicles needing leather over the next 6 months and those take priority with his resources. I asked if and when he thought they might be able to get back to it and he said possibly never. He encouraged me to look elsewhere, so I think that pretty well sums it up.
I apologize for getting everyone lathered up about this (twice.) It was necessary to guage interest in order to secure pricing or I would have not asked for pre-orders. I have made a few calls trying to find an alternative, but I am having no luck. So feel free to email or PM me, but this deal is dead.

Ah poop. Thanks for trying Jim. Guess it's back to hunting for seats at the junkyard and making some brackets.
Major bummer. Thanks for your (repeated) efforts to make this a go!
Well, I was also looking forward to a set of these for my front seats. This thread seems to have access to the replacements. Not as good a price though. https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=93098
Maybe I'll just go with Beard racing seats and make a wheeling rig out of my 80????

If you read it and compare you will find that I can get the head rests, arm rests and door panels for the front as a one row kit for just under $550.00 ie $50 gets you head rests, door panels and armrest cover. So it's not higher, in fact a much better deal in pricing and options.
I dont need a seat for a 40th I only need a square inch of leather fron the under side to make the kit in 5 days.
Also can have full access to the middle row and rear seating.
He is correct about Toyota and going to port installed leather. It saves Toyota huge monies to do this and since I have the contact that I have worked with for 10 years and he has promised me kits in 3-5 days and I share it with you all.
I have helped 2 members out in the past week getting packages and I will post pictures for those who are a little worried about color, desing and so on.
What evar I can do for those who want kits I will go over and above to make sure all questions are answered quickly and honestly.
Best,
Shane

Sorry if it sounded like I was knocking your price Shane. It is for sure a fair deal for the extras you are providing. Way better than OEM prices that's for sure. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up who might have not seen the thread. How long is this good for? I want a set of fronts, but I got a couple of other things in line that need attention before luxury items like nice new seat covers. My drivers side bottom had a rip in it when I got it, and I hate the looks of the worn leather. Everything else looks fairly new, well except the steering wheel and shift knob. I want a set of these soon.

I will have pics this week and will get them posted on the thread.
If all goes well and it is all correct like I am told the price will stand as long as I am will to be te middle guy.
Im always around.
Thanks,
shane
