Quality Seat covers vs. Katzkin's Leather.

Something inflatable on which they sit.

After a while they sit a little funny.

 

Kinda expensive honestly but it's a mod/upgrade that pays for itself in the long run. Check on there website to price out exactly what you want. I purchased them on a group buy which saved me about $150+ that kind of covered the lumbar/heater and custom graphics. You can send them any designs you want and. They most likely can make it. Nice thing is that they save your entire order and ant customer design in a PC log for data to "repair or remake as needed" . They confirm everything that you need before making by phone and everything is hand made/stiched.

TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!

Its flatable lumbar support. Works great and makes the passenger seat much more comfy. The OEM drivers seat lumbar worked ok but the fact that you can position this exactly need to go for your back is amazing. I was also able to put it right where my wife needs it for the passenger seat.

 

I just added katzkins with seat heaters. I am extremely impressed with the fit of these.

 

We finally got our first significant snowfall for this winter since I got my wet okele and having neoprene seats was great while snow was blowing into the truck or I was moving the truck in order to clear snow.

What liquid none to see here.

 

That makes two of us! Thanks for sharing, they look excellent. How did you wire the controls?

 

I drilled holes in the switch blanks above the cup holders. Wiring just needs power and ground. I ran the power to a fuse tap in the fuse box and used an existing ground under the console.

It was a big project. The leather fits tightly and requires forceful coaxing into place. The wiring was the easiest part of the project.

 

Yeah, I know what you mean. I self-installed a leather set on my F-150 a few years ago. I didn't have hog nose pliers or rings so I used zip ties where they were intended and it actually worked out well. I remember having to stuff, snug, and wrestle everything in place but I got it there. I'm thinking about doing my own Katzkin install but I'll have to see what the alternative cost. New foam is one thing, having the material and know-how to repair or replace the foam is another. Seats are on my list right after my suspension refurb so I'm looking at it hard.

 

All you dog-guys with your back seats still up amaze me. I turned the back seats down, threw down a thin foam mat and a horse blanket, and the dogs have way more room than seats up with a hammock.. Not only this, but the two times a year I do have to break out the back seats for human passengers, they’re still clean and un-used.

Look at all the room for two 70lb hound dogs..


Although- I’m taking notes for seat covers. I’m either wet and salty, or covered in metal soot and oil for my job(s) and the drivers seat has been taking some abuse… neoprene probably the best bet?

 

I think neoprene is best bet for you. The natural cleaner that wet okele sells is amazing. You don't have to get thier Seats to get the cleaner lol. It has gotten blood out, food, ash, mud,salt and shit from winter no problem this year. It is a 2 stage cleaner and uv protectant. I just use 2 small metal mixing bowls and a kitchen towel. It last a while because you dilute the cleaner. For heavy stuff like blood, just put a small dap directly onto it and some warm water from a towel. It will lift in about a min.

Well, Katskins is out as far a Austin is concerned that is. I received my quote for the replacement of the two front and the rear seats. All most $2700.00!!! This is without anything special. Man things have changed since I ran into the guy last year who said it cost him $1000 for the complete material and installation. Am I missing something or is this an attempt to gouge me on the installation?

 

I paid just under $1000 for the seat cover and front seat heaters. It was a lot of work but worth it

 

I know, $1700 to install, CRAP!!!
