Adding leather to Generation one Tundra.

Adding leather to Generation one Tundra.

All my other rides have factory leather so I deceided to purchase a Leather kit from Ebay on my Access cab since I'm sick of the cloth. So it arrived in a huge box at my house and stayed there a given week till I figured out my plan's. I know retail on this kit was $700 so I saved a good penny on purchasing this from Ebay and there rare to find since the gen 2 is out. Katskin is where my kit was made and I've heard of them out in California where I used to live and heard nothing but praise on there kit's and quality of material. So the real test takes shape when I payed someone to redo the front seat and I do the rear seat myself.

This is where I started from


Quality wise he did a very good job



This is my work involved for the rear seat's











done headrest were sent out for some custom stuff. I love the two tone matches my truck very well. I have the door panel's but I havent yet had the chance on redoing that material but it's planned very soon.

Loving it. Very very nice.

Thanks I'm done with mod's on this truck now . Sort of bored with this Tundra now and moving on to the Suv

I wish we could do that to our corollas, thats sick.

Do show pics when you get creative with the SUV.

You can. They sell the same kits.

I need to finish my bike first. I had a little truck ramp accident uploading that with the rubber bed mat that came down causing me to drop my sportbike. I'm on stage 2 on finishing up the rest of the repair's. This year has been a money pit on repairs :sad:

So far the parts list on this project is new upper plastics and repaint the right side panel too (Frame sliders helped here) in addition to repaint on the new upper fairing (near headlights). I had to replace the right rear braking lever too broken tab.





90 percent fixed now the small detail's

The first pic was a bit painful to see, but good to see it's almost 100% again.

Ouch, dosent look to bad.

Bike was pretty bad. The story line goes like this dropped off for a week to Have the Valves Inspected which is required every 15k. Work was done bike received New plug's and Off I went home with it. Came home loaded ramp and unloaded late at night and the bed mat came down with me on the ramp which caused me to drop it.

Bike was upside down for 10 min till i figured the best method to recover it . Let's just say starting it up the next day was fun as it didn't want to start. When it started up there was lot's of smoke present because it was burning the oil from the other side of the engine.

Damages were mainly the whole front end plastic had to be replaced.I'm surprised the headlights were not damaged so I moved it from the damaged panel to the new one. New front end had to be repainted black in clear coat and much of the part's were carry over to the new plastics. Mirrors are edging on replacement to Led's signal Like i had before those were trashed up. Bike still has 10 percent on repairs like New rear Panel plastic and rear seat in red since the black seat got damaged.

props! finally someone does a real uphostery job instead of going with cheap ass looking seat covers. They're actually not too bad to install and I see you did the old uphostery trick of substituting the hogrings with zipties. The only hard part is the headrest, youave to find a uphostery shop with a "head shrinker" to do it properly.

I think im gonna do this.. eventually though lol 360 first! FTW

Did you only zip tie the bottom of the seats? You didn't have to put any zip ties on the top cushion?

Ah yea you have to Zip Tie the top cushion center rear seat console. There are Zip ties on the top part of the rear cup holder. On the Tundra on the rear seat there is center console that has the rear seat cup holder and Yea it does need to be zip tied to the Center console. Everything that had Hog ties had to be zied zipped so I Insured that was done the right way.
