Road Trip!!!!

Yeah, the process doesn't look that difficult. The major concern I have is that I've seen DIY installs that look like the covers weren't pulled tight enough or maybe the hog rings were in the wrong place. The result was a very loose, wrinkled fitting cover that really detracted from an otherwise great kit. Maybe I'll have a pro just do the front seats since they look the most involved...

Any tips you guys can provide would be great!

Yeah I would like to do this as well. Front seats I'll probably pay a professional for. The back seats I may try to do myself like G alluded to. My OEM cloth is starting to wear out. But I want two-tone though, I wonder how much more for that

it helps to have a friend help you, sometimes you need a little extra help making sure you pull everything tight. some of the materials they use are also better than others

When you pull the seats out of the truck & remove the OEM covers you will see how basically you will install the new ones. Hog rings, clips on the under seat metal & zippers. I installed my leather inside my house as it was to hot outside to sweat to death. It is a little bit of a chore to get the grocery hooks back on & in place but I am really happy with the way they turned out.
People can't believe my truck did not come from the factory with these on.

Any other questions & I will try my best to help.

What color is your leather? It does not appear to be the typical "graphite" that a lot of people buy.
