    I've been wanting to put leather seats in my 2009 TRD Sport 4x4 access cab, and I was wondering if it is possible to swap the new leather TRD bucket seats in? Has anyone done this or know if it's feasible? Thanks!

    Depends on the mounting points and the rails. You can retrofit anything you want with the time and $. Why not just order leather for your existing seats?

    Like ordering leather covers? I'd rather just keep it all Toyota OEM (rather than order aftermarket seats), not a fan of covers. Was hoping for a plug and play swap, and was checking to see if anyone had attempted this yet. Really hoping to not screw with the airbag wiring, and think it would be a cool upgrade for my truck.

    Not necessarily "covers" but you can replace the original material that goes on the foam and you keep the stock look and change the dynamic of the interior like I did


    And yes you'll have issues with the air bag stuff cause 2nd gen. Not something I'd mess with.

    That looks clean - where/who did the work? I'm here in SF (CA) - I've also got the side airbag seats... Thanks for the suggestion, that looks good. I've just noticed a few wrecked TRD Pros already showing up, and might be able to grab a set of the new seats relatively cheaply...

    You can find a 2gen limited that had leather if you want a for sure direct gen 2 bolt on interior.

    That does look clean. Is that a Katzkin kit?
