Nice! Do the seat heaters still work/can you feel heat through the Katzkin covers?

I don't have heated seats but I did do perforation in the middle of the seat that will help with slipping and also the airflow of the seat to keep it cool and not sticky during the summer. The rep did say if I had climate controlled seats it would work perfectly with the setup I have.

And your cost so far. Might be getting close to the msrp for a Land Rover Defender.

Defenders are nice, but we are loyal to Toyota reliability and affordability plus this is our 3rd 4runner our family has owned. Probably spent about $2.5k for everything done so far due to sweat equity for labor costs.

Yes the heaters work
Katkins are not really seat covers in the traditional sense, meaning they don't go over your existing seat covers
They remove the factory seat covers and install the leather over the padding like a factory set
Hope this helps

Not too bad an outlay, I was expecting your spend to be a lot more

Absolutely right they’re not seat covers. They swap out the original cloth to theirs. Katzkin does have an aftermarket option to add cooling and heating which we probably should have done.

Yah DIY most of the mods and holiday specials for parts right now helped a lot. But I can see mods going sideways real quick with an $$$ overlanding setup. Trying to pick up more stuff before all the Black Friday sales end. lol.

Man those tires and wheels look so sweet! I like that they aren’t all black. I don’t get the appeal of black wheels, even though mine came with the black TRD wheels.

Appreciate it!! We definitely wanted something different than the standard black that everyone is running now. It took a little while to figure out the rim choice. It was back and forth with the Method 703s. But it was always going to be a machined finish.
