Well got my seat covers from Terry off of ebay and there awsome ! I think the little wrinkes will come out after some time . He sent me the 2 parts for the center arm rest , Top part he sent was the whole lid .The main driver seat was alot of work by it self . Let me know how you think i did on this job .









Dirty pic of the truck

 

thats your truck dirty? you must be like scott! (dixie_boysles)

looks good thought, the truck and the seats. i have some of terry's seats as well. they are awesome.

 

Those look amazing!!

 

They look great! Nice truck too.

 

Thanks guys ! Any of you guys that have done this swap before tryed the bottom arm rest lid ? I had a fight with it and i am still not happy with the out come . Any tips on that ?

 

Those look great! Who is the person you got them from?

 

very nice. remember as you're putting on covers like that to smack them hard over and over which helps disperse the wrinkles and gets the covers to hug the seat as good as possible. (learned this by watching Ishmael on West Coast Customs lol)

 

I havent put my center console one on yet... haha but here is a thread terry made showign how it's done.

Those look amazing! Gonna be hot in the summer though!

 

Lol, we must be brothers from another mother!!! Truck looks amazing!! I have the red insert seats from terry, and yeah the wrinkles will come out for sure! Makes me wish id spent the extra monies to get the leather now!!! looks awesome!!!

 

Great looking covers! What'd they cost if you don't mind me asking?

 

Thanks ! I paid $370 with shipping , He had it listed on ebay as buckets . I asked Terry if he could make it into a 60/40 and he did . I dont think its to bad of a price when most leather kits are $600+

 

They are nice looking!

 

These look great! i think im gonna get a set

Seats look great. Love the color.

 

Seats look good. Truck has a nice stance.

 

Looks great! And I bet they are comfortable too. Your idea of dirty is like mine too. One day of rain or a couple days without a wash is dirty lol.

Truck looks sweet!

 

im sure this has been asked before but im gonna just ask...

do i need to pick up Hog Rings and Hog Ring pliers?

 

terry includes hog rings. i just used needle nose pliers to put em in.

 

my seats are black with gray insets, cloth... and whats happening is even though im sitting on a towel for my short ride back home from surfing, im getting salt water stains from my wet suit all over the arm rest and seat, white rings look awful. My explorer never had this problem on its gray leather seats.

Your seats came out awesome. im going to ask terry for your exact set up, gray, with the perforated insets and put in heaters while ive got the covers off. Id love to do black but i think it will show dirt and water. The color you picked always looks clean. you did a great job. I hope i can get mine to turn out like that

im a little apprehensive about the armrest and fastening the covers properly... but maybe once i start taking them apart it'll make more sense. I have hog ring pliers already.

 

Looks great!

 

It is a pretty simple install if you can do simple mods . I used hog rig pliers and it helped alot but there isn't alot of hog rings , Not to bad of a d.i.y , Over the past 2 days they have really look nice , Not many wrinkles .

 

I got a quote from terry; leather for $430 (XLT bench)... plus im going to do seat heaters if i take on the job which is prob another $150. i thought i was going to jump into this, but i might wait a little bit since it looks like it'll be a bit more than i had thought at almost a $600 mod. still not too bad though... I have hog ring pliers, ive used them in the past when i did some light upholstery work on my old 944.

he cant do the perforated insets like yours though on mine. not sure why.

your seats look awesome man.

 

Get waterprooF seat covers.
Wet Oki (sp) or something similar.

Std material covers are going to stain no matter.

Terry's Covers are really nice and I will have a set soon enough but they will stain too.

Perforated covers will leak water to the foam.

 

when im ready i think im going to just do the leather set from Terry. My explorer had leather and i never had problems with it, if im damp im only in it sitting on a towel for 10-20 minutes for the quick gooey ride home.

but your right, the cloth is no match for the salt water, esp the arm rest. the faster it gets gnarly the sooner i'll get in touch with terry :)
