Seat covers?

[voyager:01]

Looking for a decent fitting seat cover for factory bucket seats w headrest. Anyone suggest one that you’re running?

(Drivers seat has rips and it’s my work truck basically looking for a cover for now maybe restore down the line.)

Recommend the cruiser corp covers - installed them earlier this year.

I would definitely take one (the most worn out, probably driver side) to a shop for an estimate. It may be worth it to you to have a pro do the work, and you will have an almost infinite selection of fabrics, welts and colors.

have a feeling the op is looking for a seat cover, not to recover the seats.

You are correct. But I do appreciate these other responses as well. I had my seats professionally reupholstered when I restored my truck back in 2002 and they did an amazing job. Just 20 years of wear and tear later, do you know the story. Might not be a bad idea to just go to reupholstering route it might just be the bottom part anyways so maybe it won’t be too expensive. Still wondering if anyone has a good fit for a cover though. Thanks all.

The Carhartt seat covers look good.

Apologies, misread the question. Re: covers, no experience with 40 series cover, but had these in an 80 series and they were fantastic. I see they also have them for the 40 series. Not cheap but great quality

I was thinking that. Wasn’t sure which model to order to fit the 40. When you try to type in your year and model on the websites it only goes back to the 80’s so I wasn’t sure what would best fit.

I have fitted seat covers in my FJ62. Probably a close match on 1/79+ buckets I a 40 series. Not much of a selection for 60 series and not the thickest covers. Probably bought them fifteen years ago. Not sure more are available now or if the ones I bought before are still available. My seats are still in great shape just want to protect them. I have seat covers I had on my 100 series seats. While not a great fit there are much better quality cover. Probably three times as thick. When I traded in a fifth generation 4Runner. Before I did I removed the cloth seats had over the leather seats. Might try those on some 73-78 buckets seats. I know the headrests with be wrong, way to tall for a 40 series. Possibly the cover for the middle headrest in the back seat.
