man that looks good!

Thank you Nathan.

Some notes for anyone wanting to do this.........

There is a bit of stuff to take apart....... don't chicken out in the middle.

Get the T55 before you start........ lol

The Headrest foam pieces are a BEAR to get into the new leather headrests.

The Snap together pieces are a pain too. Be firm but gentle when pulling them apart. Only advice I can give.

There is cutting of the new leather involved.........

The cup holder / arm rest in the 60/40.
The Holes at the top of the seats where the belt comes out of the seat.
The Metal Loop anchors need a slit in the cloth to allow them to come through.
The Holes for the Headrest at the top of the seats.....6 in my truck.

Re: GoodInBlack's 2009 Suburban Build.

Lol. I was kind of annoyed for having to run out and get one stupid Torx bit......when everything was apart out in my driveway.
.......

so when he said he did not know what I was talking about ....... I said something like..... you REALLY do not know....come on?????. It was rude. I regret it actually.

 

[07Burb]

Lol....well he needs to learn what his company is trying to sell a little better I suppose lol

Lee the seats look unreal. Do you have a before picture? What's your take on 1-10 difficulty? If mine didn't come with it, this would definitely be my inspiration to do it!

Re: GoodInBlack's 2009 Suburban Build.

Thank you David and Jarin.

I would say a 4.5 or so.

Everyone does have different skill levels though........ so it is subjective.

Installing the leather really is not hard...... just "work".

I will post more pictures up tomorrow. I still have the fronts to do. Should be done tomorrow...... God willing.
