To answer some questions, yes, you can get the leather optioned with heating and cooling, although it’s an add-on and they have to find a place to add a switch somewhere. I thought about it, but cooling (I think) requires perforations which can interfere with my hexstitch specifically, plus I personally find it hard to clean sand out of. Hope this helps!! Also, both VLED footwell lighting kits are linked in the description 😊
Few people know that Chloe started modifying her tricycle back in the 90's when she was very small. She gave it a set of truck style airhorns and of course off-road wheels/tires with a mild lift kit. Now as an adult she teaches mostly men how to make their older vehicles more attractive to thieves.
Great video. Something I wanted to do for a while but the front seats are short and uncomfortable for me. I have jackers but it makes entry a bit harder. Could they extend the foam out about 1"?. Which Katskin dealer did you use in SD? keep up the good work!

I have a '21 taco TRD OR premium. After 3 years, I'll say the premium package was totally worth it. Toyota Softex seats are very durable, I put heavy stuff on them all the time and they still look new. They do get hot in the summer but I'd rather have the durability and they are easy to clean too.
Ive got a 23 sport dclb premium and can confirm the learher is awesome. However, after getting a good tint on the front windows and windshield, the seats are much cooler than they used to get in summer. Highly recommend a good tint to go with the leather.
Kind of curious… to eliminate the wires moving by attaching the lights under the front seats… when would they not be mounted under the lip of the back seats shining forward?
My wife told me that next year for my 60th birthday, she’ll pay for Katzkin to make me Lava Red (the closest color to Barcelona Red) Leather seat covers for my 23 TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs. Yes my truck currently has the factory black leather interior and I Absolutely HATE Black interior, so I’ll be selling my Black Leather Seat Covers to a lucky individual who wants to buy it from me. The Red Leather interior will look Great as this December I’m having my White TRD 2 toned in Barcelona Red. Since the passenger seat does not have a lumbar support, I’ll have Katzkin sew in a manual Blood Pressure Cuff, so that the passenger seat will finally have an adjustable lumbar support. My Lava Red Leather seats will be trimmed in black and have black stitching so it’ll blend better with the rest of the death black interior.
Is the red vehicle at 00:00:34 the new 4-runner in Barcelona Red Metallic? That's my Tacoma's color ! She's gonna have to rebrand from ChloeKuoTACO to ChloeKuoTOYO.
I have been saving for these, I LOVE seeing this done! Thank you!! I am ALWAYS impressed how you do this with your hair down, putting my hair up is the FIRST thing I have to do 😂, that means business 😅 time!
Everyone was on PRPs jock after Tacoma Beast did a video on them, they’re crap. Katzkin is the ideal option but if you’re looking for solid seat covers that are like leather seats Clazzio is still the best option I’ve had mine on my Tacoma for 3 years and still look new
PSA: I had to drill holes and zip tie the VLED footwell lights as here in Texas, it’s too hot for adhesives to stick to the panels. Hope that helps!!! Thanks Chloe!
Chloe you’re so cute ☺️. I never seen you so happy with any other upgrade. Like watching a kid in a candy 🍭 store. You deserve it. Thank you for the great content.
I love what you do, and your videos are entertaining and informative. But I wish that there was a similar Tacoma TH-camr that did mods to a base model Tacoma, with the 4 cylinder engine. Any one out there doing this???
I bought my 2011 Tacoma 7 years ago and it had a set of these already installed. They are still in new shape and hold up much better than Toyota OEM leather (I’m looking at you Lexus!)
I should’ve upgraded my truck to premium package as well. I have been kicking around upgrading my seats to leather and this looks like a great way to accomplish that. I’ve deleted my rear seats with a diy kit that I designed.
I ordered an interior from ridies a week ago! I used their leather for my MR2 leather interior and love them! But those staples are actually hog rings! And they are awful, which is why I just used the high strength zip ties instead, def the way to go... And also I threw dorman seat heaters in while I had the upholstery off to add heated seats to the sr5 :) It looks great Chloe!!!
My driver side katzkin leather seat only lasted 5 years. There is a hole now where my butt slides into the seat when I get into the truck. Will not be getting them again.
STOP GIVING ME DIY INSTALL IDEAS!!! I want to thank you for the OEM LED headlight tutorial i was able to install them in an hour in a half i had ordered the harness of the guy like a month after buying the truck and just did the lights 7 months later!
@@ChloeKuoi know you get lots of comments on products, but i was wondering in regards to filming how do you take the time do film while doing an extensive project install, installing can be tedious enough but then having to stop move the camera makes sure its in frame etc. Like at 5:21 you lift the seat into the truck, then the angle is inside already. So did you pick up the seat, get your angle, set it down and place the camera inside then pick up the seat again?
I believe that she either works in computers or as an engineer and she's also smart to still live at home. I guess you didn't watch her very first video about electrical circuit
@AFGixxeR88 if you noticed the garage where she parks her Tacoma it was in the first video when she drove home from college in New York. That's her parents home
@@beaviskornholio2754I thought the video she is in now with the garage epoxy and nice cabinets was her house in San Diego which is why I didn’t understand how she afford that on top of buying a brand new Tacoma

This channel is detrimental to my bank account. First Decked and now looks like I’m getting new upholstery. 😂 Looks great!
I know more of this stuff should be sponsored because I buy a lot of these mods after these videos XDD
About the only thing Chloe has done that I haven't wanted to do is the Decked drawers...everything else has pretty much been "yes I want that..." 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Oops 😅😅😅
Juan did a good job with the first juan
I saw that the VLEDS Footwell Kits are on sale. $35.00 off.
There called Hog rings! You have to have the special hog ring tool! For info.
Now days people use those for their noses.
The more you know 😃

😂
Maybe a dumb question, but price point of this route vs just buying oem leather seats? Great video 😊
Yikes. Quote from them was close to $2K. Is there a Chloe 50% discount availbable lol?
Chloe how much did you pay for the leather seat covers?
Katzkin leather interior starts at $1895,
So when are you cutting a hole in your tacoma for the moonroof?
Giving me ideas for my next video 😅
@ChloeKuo don't do it. Not the same as oem. I was told this by a professional installer of those sunroof/moonroofs.
I want the same lol
Buy once cry once the saying never says how long you will cry 😂

Like watching for videos. I'm not really a dyi person. Your so smart I feel overwhelmed`.
Its amazing how you found all these accessories to enhance your Tacoma!!! Well done!

Did you keep your old cloth seat covers? Or did the company take them with them? Just curious
My 2007 Lexus ES 350 has footwell lighting!
beautiful but what was the total price of the leather seats and instillation? ii want them so bad now. they look so GREAT on yours!

Nice! Do the later 3rd gens come with Softex? I thought it was leather but I’m a huge Softex fan too!!
@@ChloeKuo I thought all 3rd gen TRD OR Premium had Softex and Limited had the real leather, I could be wrong. But I know for sure mine is Softex.
@@officialyasirnice! Softex is a great material (even though I’ve had limited use)
Ive got a 23 sport dclb premium and can confirm the learher is awesome. However, after getting a good tint on the front windows and windshield, the seats are much cooler than they used to get in summer. Highly recommend a good tint to go with the leather.

Look very nice thanks for showing upgrade to leather
Nice, but how many billions did you have to pay 😅🤔
at this point chloe bear just buy a TRD Pro man. hahaha
Very Very Nice, Chloe!!! Excellent how-to video, as are all of yours. ENJOY those seats! THANKS
How much was it?? I also have a 2019 taco
How much did this cost? I want to do the same!
What does the back of the backseats look like?
the link takes me to the front footwell kit not the rear
that looks like a lot of trouble for seat covers.
Could these be upgraded with heat and cooling?
Yes
Are u selling your old seat covers
Can I buy your prp seat covers
Hey Chloe, are you single ?
Chloe you need a 5th Gen 4Runner.
Definitely a big want… I think about a Terra TRD Pro 4Runner every day
@@ChloeKuo I just bought a 4th Gen with the 4.0 V6, 252,000 miles, solid af….. drinks tf outta gas is my only complaint.
@@ChloeKuodon't wait the 5th gens will be gone soon.
Love the channel!
Just as OCD as me about NO SUGAR DRINKS IN MY VEHICLES. Enjoy all your videos.

WOW,
Lighting for the rear seats is too much work. Besides the only “person” in the back seat of my TRD double cab is our 115# Chocolate Lab.

Hello Chloe,
I love your content, I noticed your front bumper is a no cut bumper install. What brand is it please?
I bought my 2011 Tacoma 7 years ago and it had a set of these already installed. They are still in new shape and hold up much better than Toyota OEM leather (I’m looking at you Lexus!)
Highly recommend Katzkin! I have them in my 5th Gen 4Runner and added extended heating pads as well.
Great video. Probably one of my next upgrades. My cloth seats are looking sad.
Chloe what is that other vehicle parked in your garage. Is that your own also? And what is it?
I should’ve upgraded my truck to premium package as well. I have been kicking around upgrading my seats to leather and this looks like a great way to accomplish that. I’ve deleted my rear seats with a diy kit that I designed.
Great video I miss the videos about modding your truck. A throwback in a good way! Thank You!
Those really look better than OEM and look comfy, great find!!
I'm going to look into this for my Metro convertible and my Toyota Corolla 82
Oh I totally see that front grill pattern "tie in." Excellent forethought Chloe!
Hey Chloe I have a 21 tacoma , would you sell me the prp covers ?
I was like she looks
So familiar
Yup you were jamboree lol
Seats look great, but why didn’t you add seat heaters?
you should get ceramic tint to avoid your car being so hot
Those would look good in my truck!😂
Very nice Chloe. Have a great 4th of July
And where is that bed camper you need?
How much was the katsjin
Those look great. Awesome video Chloe!

Also your first video on vleds is why I put them in my truck forever ago! And then I stumbled upon the rear LED kit and got that 🎉
Congrats, they look amazing!

That’s going to be typical for any leather. Also depends on what type of clothing you’re sliding in. Jeans are the worst.
Love your content, keep it up.

It’s not going anywhere 😊
is she gonna get the new tacoma?
Why. Haven't you heard that the trans is already having problems with overheating.
SPOILED little rich girl
What's the matter with you?
