Upholstery - 93 4Runner

Have the stated. 2 dr hardtop

Front buckets. Drivers bucket has edge wear that is through the
fabric, to the foam.

What are my options? (remembering the blue herringbone fabric covering
& must match)

1. Seat covers - yuk - what's best manufacturer ?

2. Screw in a new seat from wreckers. Any guideline as to base rail
compatibility between 1993 & 199x. Or maybe fabric pattern wiped this
out?

3. Order a relacement covering from YY?

or ?

thanks

Have a '94 justing showing one edge on one seat, also blue.

Here is one probably pretty good solution I'm considering.

Exceptional. Love everything. Great planning and concept. Nice v8 job,
the big, heavy truck must love the grunt. Had to look the 1UZFE V8 up.
Had no idea.
ENGINE TYPE YEAR BORE STROKE CC COMP PS RPM JAPAN U.S. MODEL NOTE
1UZFE V8 98-99 87.5 82.5 3968 10.5 280 6200 CELSIOR LS400 VVTI
Was what I found. What are the horsepower & torque for that motor?
Done any 1/4 miles? We could easily get a stock before time I would
think. I allways thought the 150 hp was just adequate. The but the
paint. Planning to spray it?
I may be singing to the choir but did you know that 93 was the last
year for the 2 dr 4runner. I loved the lines. Bought off the lot and
they trained one in from a couple of provinces over.
Only thing I didn't like, that they fixed in 94, was antilock only in
4wd. Dealer quoted my 3-3.5 k for upgrade. But that would have mean't
a 4 door.

nice truck dave, and a nice site that shows it off. was painful though
as I'm on dialup.

Looks good. I'd only do the front buckets. And when $ permit get them
recovered i guess. The back has seen no wear. There's just the two of
us.
Carpet needs replacing too. Canadian salt.
Found a good place up here. About $600 CDN. Sound right?

Don;
$600 Canadian sounds high to me, but I'm probably a bit spoiled by the SF
Bay area.

Then again, my carpets are in good condition.

We were in Costco yesterday doing our weekly shopping. The wife talked me
into buying their "Genuine Sheepskin" covers (Grey) for the light blue
4Runner. And some Grey mats for the front. Lot of mud where we are, when
it rains.

As I said, I've apparently the identical problem as you have, with the
edge of the front driver seat.. about 2.5 inches long, just worn through
to the white liner.

I visualize them as being too hot, but she insists this is not true of
real sheepskin.

Will let you know... she wants to do the installation, so sometime this
weekend maybe.. lol.

'95 4R brown... same problem. Seats are nice with big side bolsters but wear
badly on the high-points. I ordered two brown head-rests off of ebay....
I'll have a local outfit harvest the material and use to patch over the
hole. The map pockets on the back of the seats could be used in the same
way, however Toyota skimped on material and stopped short and only carried
the herringbone style material down ~ 3" below the top edge of the pocket.

The Costco sheepskin covers ($37 ea) were installed. The "installation"
was easy and seems secure. The feel from the drivers position is good. No
interference with seat controls. The look is good, at least we both like
it. We bought one to see how we'd like it. Looks better than the totally
stock front passenger seat, which is in close to perfect condition.

Also, although I'm 6'1", I like the slightly higher seating position.

They come in grey and tan, the grey goes well enough with the blue
interior.

I mentioned I had some concern about heat. I was remembering, I believe,
an artificial sheepskin that had a kind of artifical feel. Those were
hot. Sheepskin seems fine, and its been hot here.
