Default Another Katzkin Self-Install

Bought them recently and planned on doing this over the Christmas holiday as I had a few days scheduled off. Worked on the project for about 20 hours total, more than 6 of that was the ridiculously complex Center Console and it's pain-in-the-**** lid recovering. If you decide to take on the project, just buy the lid. Save yourself a giant headache.

Onto the pictures:

a few more from the install:









These little orange clips embedded in the foam are really delicate, carefully popped them off the existing plastic track with a pick.

Nice work!

Those Katzkin seats I've seen around here look grea! I may consider switching to those in my Lariat some day. They look like they are made from a softer leather than what's installed in my truck.

Man, that does not look like a job for the faint of heart!

Well done! Looks fantastic.

Gives me nightmares from my days working on OEM seats at Lear.

Looks awesome! Hope to install mine next week. Was searching for a how to remove rear seats, but no joy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Should just be a couple bolts on the floor, and latches on the cab wall.
