Looks great Carl. I will say you are much braver than me. I opted to let the folks that know how do mine.

Thanks! I think it was your thread that inspired me. There were a few points where I thought I was in over my head... The guy from the interior shop said he'd offer any pointers if I needed help or anything but I was able to get it done.

But seriously not kidding about the sore hands... They still hurt.

Looks really great! You're a brave soul to tackle that. I was going to go leather, but decided to hold off--I put a set of nice sheepskins on the front and the comfort factor is very, very high. Eventually I may summon the courage to do the leather myself :jester:

haha im def going with that, the thing is i dont know if i can install it myself, i have to admit im not really handy when it comes to modding the interior.

If you have the time you can totally install it yourself... On a scale of 1-10 I would rate the difficulty around a 4 or 5. It's pretty basic stuff but getting the leather to stretch when you have to get the plastic clasps hooked is a biotch and what makes your hands sore.

The kit comes with no instructions but is pretty straight forward. The F-150 katzkin install video from Motorz helped but some things were a little different.

Letting my leather cook inside the vehicle in the hot sun really helped to make it more pliable.

My wife was very impressed with my skillz... So much so she didn't even bitch about the cost hahaha.

I have mine and love em. Better than factory imho.Leather is fantastic

Just for your piece of mind the seats dont lock down. You can always pick them up. They do lock in the up position, which is why they have the handles to unlock them and drop them down. Nice install!!

Thanks Murph. That brings up another fear.... I thought it should have locked so when I did the 40/ seat in the rear, I sat on it... Hmmm... Not locking... Maybe it needs a bit of force, so I bounced, about 5 or 6 times... think I heard something crack.. and that seat now appears to sit about 1/4" lower then the 60 seat... lol... ooops.

I am too lazy to pull it all apart again, although it's really not that bad. Maybe popped a spot weld on the seat frame or something

Carl

Damn, that sounds like something I would do. It ain't funny, but :lol:

Nice writeup! The leather looks great. It's probably just the lighting, but how does the leather match the interior? Some of the pics look a little more brown than black.
