    Nice! Door panels should be done and a few wrinkles but still a good buy. 80 series are are beautiful,comfortable,capable and worth every dollar you invest.

    • @JWilliams81
      @JWilliams81  6 лет назад +1

      The leather inserts for the door panel do not come apart easily. You would have to break the pasticweld tabs on the door panel. I am happy with the new leather and can live with the older leather door panels. The quality of the kit and the leather is outstanding.

    It does look really good man...mine is an expedition rig and gets used in the mountains of Oregon so I'm afraid to spend the money on new leather.

    i just finished doing it myself. took me 3 days and i must say its a lot of work. i don't have a steamer to shrink and get the wrinkles out so i'm using hot wet rags from the microwave. 1300? in 2019 the price is 580.

      The leather is actually a great value for the quality. I replaced the bottom and back seat foam with new Toyota foam. That was a lot of money. But it feels great to drive now.

    I'm on fense on my 80 series lift and tires. What lift did you go with, height? and what size tires are you running. Your 80 looks perfect

    • @JWilliams81
      @JWilliams81  5 лет назад

      Lift - Old Man Emu 2.5" lift. Heavy Springs front and rear. 30mm front leveling kit from Man-A-Free.
      Tires - 285/75/16 Cooper ST/Maxx

    Do you have a lift on your cruiser. I'm getting ready to do new suspension on my 94. I really like the look of the height and tires you have.

    • @JWilliams81
      @JWilliams81  7 лет назад

      Yes I do have a lift. I did the OME 2.5 heavy springs front and rear. To level it out I put Man-A-Free 30mm spacers on the front. The tires are Cooper ST MAXX 285/75/16's. Thanks for the comment. Check out the other videos to see her in action.

    • @JWilliams81
      @JWilliams81  3 года назад

      Bob I installed the steering wheel myself. It isn't that bad of a job. You just have to take your time and make sure you unplug the battery for something like 30-60 minutes so the airbag does not go off.

      $1,300 for the full leather kit
      $538.36 for factory replacement Toyota foam on the front seats
      $50.00 for heated seat kit
      $600 for professional install of all above
      $2,488.36 Total
      Steering wheel was $349, and I installed it myself.

    Does the 285/75/16 spare fit underneath the backend? I want to lift and upsize my FJ80, but I don't necessarily like the add-on rear racks for spare tires.

    • @JWilliams81
      @JWilliams81  5 лет назад

      Yes, it fits back there fine. I had no problems at all.

    • @JWilliams81

      Steering wheel was about $150-200.
      Front foam was about $500.

      Cool. It's not to hard. Just take your time and do the one end first. Either do the front and then the rear or other way around. You're just taking the old stuff out and putting the new stuff in.
