2012 Katzkin Leather Group Buy

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/technical-chat/89333-diy-leather-interior.html

Here ya go bud, this is probably the best install link available thanks to HomerTaco. Only difference between this install and the 2012 is going to be just the rear headrests. I currently have (3) 2012 kits on their way to fellow TW Members so any questions either through myself or possibly them can be easily answered. Just let me know when your ready.

Sorry if this has already been asked but I couldn't find any information on this. I'm thinking about jumping into this group buy and with a 15-month old son at home I have limited evening and weekend time to try and tackle the install myself so I would probably take the covers to a local upholstery shop to install.

Is there a list of recommended list of installers floating around or if anyone else here is in the Northern California Bay Area, I would love to get some recommendations on good installers in my area. Thanks in advance!

 

It's really not that hard to do yourself. You can try just the smaller rear seat to get a hang of it and see how well it goes for you. It took me about 24 hours in total to do all of my seats. You could easily break that up and do just 1 seat at a time.

 

when does this pricing exprie?? i have expenses tied up in other places atm, but i hate my factory leather, and ouyin has been to mean to let me sit in his seats cuz he wont attend local meets !!!

 

I intend to keep this running as long as the excitement is there. This week has been super busy with some awesome custom kits being posted soon. . Just let me know when your ready. John

 

thanks man!! yah to me earliest id be thinking is after maylong, mainly due to me wanting to get me and my truck back from MOAB gotta keep some liquid funds until after than

Can't wait to see these installed pics

 

looks sick john! I'm excited!

 

I can't wait!!! Lol

 

Man all this leather looks great Checking Funds

 

I got my kit and installed it a little while back and meant to post back but have not had a chance to. The kit i got was Tuscany Midnight which matches without a doubt perfect to the original leather for the shifter and boot for the MT trucks, and i consider myself very critical of the small details like that. also installed were liquicell and heaters. which both work well. the quality of the leather is on par with lexus and BMW ( maybe nicer).

John is a great guy to work with and was very patient as i was not sure what i wanted and went back and forth in ordering the color and add ons. I would recommend this mod highly.

 

Hey Guys,
Plan on offering a matching sub enclosure for the Access Cabs here shortly. Not quite sure what to charge but they will be well built, well fitting from 3/4" MDF and wrapped in matching Katzkin vinyl.... Stay tuned John

 

Is there a certain thing to do to get the wrinkles or loose look out of the new kits?

 

Wear them in. The sun and sitting on them will both help tighten them up.

 

im interested to see the sub enclosure. I sold the one in the pictures i added above because it was too out of place. let me know what you got when you get them in.

 

I'm interested to to see the sub enclosure as well

 

I got my kit in the mail this afternoon and was able to to the rear seats in a couple hours. It's a piece of cake thanks to the write up by Homer Taco... Thanks Homer and John! I'm excited to finish the kit but wont have time to play with it again for a couple days. Here is a cell pic of the progress so far...

 

Looks great James!!
Couple hours sounds like you caught on real quick and I/we can't thank HomerTaco enough.
Here is another kit that showed up this afternoon so we can look forward to seeing more and more installed pics

Thank you all for posting your pics. JH

 

I finally got mine done. I love the way it looks and it is also a very good product.
Thanks again John for all your help and advice.
