Nice! Did the weather tech cargo mat come with those holes cut out? Or did you have to do that?
They don't come w/ the holes cut out, but where you need to cut (if you want to cut, you don't have to) is marked. Think the indicated cut areas are more for completely clearing the 3rd row seat / tie down areas, but I wanted to cut it a little tighter so the trim pieces would hold the mat in place (does mean it's a little more work if you wanna completely pull the mat out to clean it). Didn't get the cuts perfectly lined up for that, but good enough for me. Got the idea from a post on Club Lexus
The second pic was messing with my head.
Yeah. I reversed to the pic to try to do a before and after.
Is the first pic all stock?
2nd pic looks so good, what size tire to give an idea of the true lift effect? (And nice gas door on passenger side
I had to look close)
Replaced both front seat bottoms. Total time from start to finish about 3.5 hours or so.
Fitment isnt 100% but I think that comes down to my install experience (which was zero leading up to this). I've read that a blow dryer and a garment steamer can really get everything to lay really nice...so I guess I'll give that a shot this weekend. But overall really liking the way they look.
I also went ahead and ''repaired'' that missing foam spot. I Just added a carefully cut out foam piece to fit right in there. My theory was that over the years that void in foam would have caused another wear hole sooner that later.

Nice! Same wear point on mine. Where did you get the replacement covers?
Ebay (link below)
It was between the US auto Seat cover company and The Seat shop. Both had great reviews. The Seat shop is priced higher but I'm sure leads to better fitment.

Are the seat covers side specific, or do you have to cut a little to make the adjustment knobs poke through on each side?
I swapped my two front seat cushions so the high 'outside' wear areas by the drivers and passengers thigh, was essentially moved to the inside, low wear, thigh location. Figure the leather wasn't cracked or tore yet, this would give me a few more years.
thats a great idea. Wish i could have done that but my driver side was toast. My passenger side was actually in pretty good condition aside from a few scratches...but i wanted both bottoms to match.
These were side-specific. The sides have little cutouts for the controls and what not.

Yes. First pic is stock with just the running boards removed.Is the first pic all stock?

Any cutting involved in this side to side swap?
Yes. It's easy and minimal cutting. Just to make room for the knobs to poke through under that plastic molding. I trimmed mine very tight, only as much as was needed.... But plenty of material is left. Also on the opposing side that tucks in near center console is nearly impossible to see.
I wanted to just swap the lower cushion units but I had to actually remove the seat cover from the cushion because of the airbag sensor in the passenger side would have been a nightmare to deal with.
That’s what I was thinking happened to move them. Thanks.

First order of business is baselining and starting the build process. I was going to go with a full Tough Dog 40mm 9 stage adjustable suspension with Tough Dog UCAs.
But the SAS idea is burning a hole in my head.

I definitely think you should just go strait to a SAS....
We already have coil conversion kits for the 60 and 100 SAS kits so why not SAS for this one.
