- In this installment, we finish up powdercoating rear bumpers, and replacing the seat covers to get ready to sell:
2000 Toyota 4Runner.
These seat covers work well- Naugahyde
rover.ebay.com...
If my dad got me that I would probably poop my pants out of excitement
Now I know why upholstery guys charge so much! This is ALOT of work & Skill Great Job man 👍👍
I have a new Tundra and still love my 2000 4Runner
The headrest mounts come off by squeezing 2 tabs that connect them inside tubes. You have to come from the inside with angler long needle nose pliers to get to them . They are on each side on the tube and you need to squeeze them at the same time and the plastic block that hold the headrest will pull out out from the top. You can reach up from the inside and feel them.
Replaced mine with 100% leather kit from Ridies, made in Pakistan and shipped from Pakistan for $450, they came with headrest covers also so everything matches. Recommend dark tan on their website. Got to love these 3rd gen 4Runners, they were $30k new thus why they are so desirable these days. Built really well.
Japanese built, too 👌
What company was that what has the Leather?
@@bluesky-ud9wg ridies, look them up online. Don't expect the color to match your backseats because they will not, it's way off as compared to your originals. That is why their front seat covers comes with headrests covers too. If you want to match get the back seat covers too.
@@brucewayne2773 ok thanks man
Great video,, special when you told your kid to be more respectful to a 4Runner. It all about Toyota
Hofferd Sequeira haha, yeah we were foolin. That was the first auto he got to drive. Cant’ be too picky!
Thanks for the handy tips, great stuff. "Learn about 3rd-gen 4Runners from Michael Keaton's long-lost brother!"
Love these videos. I've made so much in the last two years buying 3rd gen 4runner and selling parts it's unbelievable. I think I'm going to fund my 4wd build just from selling parts and flipping a few 2wd. Taking a bunch of advice from your videos thanks a million
John Templet thanks for the feedback! Great autos for sure...as long as it all stays affordable!
Great video J Lee! Love to see the 3rd gen getting some love! 👍🏽💯
Thanks for the video just got very similar covers and plan to attempt installation soon!
Thank you for these videos! I'm a huge fan of the 3rd gens; mainly due to the 5spds and 4x4! It seems to be an all in one vehicle.
instablaster.
On the 2001 and 2002 I think your supposed to remove negative battery cable before you remove any harness wires. It had to do with possible sir bag deployment. Great video, did mine last year and it was worth the time and money.
If my dad gave me that, I'd legitimately cry. I had to buy all my cars. Reminds me of when my dad got my brother a 72 chevy 4x4 and he didn't like it cause it was to big?
yep first vehicle he drove, but it was sold and he will eventually buy his own. pride and lessons learned.
They look Great!!!
Ur walkthroughs are so good!!
In your guys opinion what is a green 3rd gen 4runner SR5 2wd with a new paint job and new timing belt and NGK spark plugs go for with 188,000 miles? I'm in the midwest no rust on the frame. It has a front black Safari grill guard and tail light guard and a touch screen radio in it . Very clean rig so let me know plz 1/16/22 I know prices are high during Covid times
Tough to pinpoint an exact, 2wd is going against it, based on a few I’ve been watching but not selling, 5-7k for sure. Start higher, if no interest, adjust.
@@JLeeChron yea I noticed they do range widely but I'm ready to let it go even though I love the 3rd gen.
@@ddemier popularity is high right now, should be easy
List it at 7500
You're awesome man! Great job looks better than new! :)
Looks great. Would loved to have seen every single step in detail so I could try it myself. Thanks for posting.
agreed... considering same
Man, you've got some great skills. Just found your channel and loving it! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I just left the upholsterers, I thought it would be 1200 or so, but then he said I'm going to need new seat bolsters and of course he recommended the Toyota ones, $300 a piece, plus he said the heated seats might be damaged and have to be completely replaced with new kits!
$2000??
No thanks!!
I really want to do replace the cloth seats with leather in my 2000 4Runner, is it worth it?
Only if the cloth seats are shot
What about the backseats? Do they offer covers for those? If not, it would look strange having two brand new looking fronts and tore up rears.
Usually the rears hold up…. If they are trashed- then most likely the entire vehicle has been abused and is done with.
This one in the vid, the two up front were bad but the back although dirty, cleaned up well.
It’s usually the driver side from people dragging ass
Where did you purchase your seat cover?
Link is in drop down of title! Thanks
There is also an ebay leather one that works well, don’t have that link currently tho
Do you know if the seller you bought it from also makes them in any other color apart from that tan oak. Like maybe black or gray?
Excellent video.
Thanks for the visit
quick question: what's involved with separating the seat bottom from the mounting bracket/slider? Your vid skips that step.
just wondering about the seat cover did it come with upper and bottom seat covers? and also was it only for one seat or for both of them?
Have to specify what you want from the link in description…. Message seller if unsure.
The other in ebay in leather, are available separately.
Nice job
Holy 💩😳! $400 and having to do it yourself!!!! Geeeeeeeezus!! I’d hate know what this would cost today!!!!☝️😳
Great job man!
Excellent!
Where’d you get the material? Thinking about doing it myself now 🤷🏽♂️

HELP!!!! Your videos are great. I love my 1997 4runner Ltd with 240k also. I want keep it runner forever. Can you help me with one issue that I can't solve. My passenger door window only goes down but not up. I have replaced the window motor already but it is still having the same issue. I tried both driver and passenger side buttons, checked the fuse but they both can't bring the window up. Can you give me a few pointers in troubleshooting the issue. Thanks.
Web Cityx right off hand, I think I remember reading something about the wires in the door being bad/corroded. Check those out next, tracing them back to the source.
Later I will try to find the write up and link it if I can find
thanks for watching!
@@JLeeChron - Thank so much, it been out for 3 years and I really want to fix it. All the wires looks good, I think I did a continuity test on the plugs. I thing it might be how the switch are wired, if one goes bad than it breaks the circuit or something. Looking forward to your reply. You do a great job on your car, makes me feel like I should fix mines up also. Thx
Web Cityx I found this from a 2000 Tacoma owner, check it out - T4R is very close may be the problem: “Check for broken wires coming through the rubber tube between the passenger door and the truck. He started with a continuity test on the window wires but that did not show any problem. The one window wire that was broken and at fault had a single intact strand which provided continuity. He then opened up the wire loom and visually inspect the wires. It turns out five wires were broken or in very bad shape. After replacing the wires the window works properly”. Hope ya find the problem, Kind regards
@@JLeeChron - Thanks I will give that a test!!!
1997 2.7 L auto No Rust! Nice interior doesn't use or burn any oil everything still works daily driver 361,000 miles run 1000 miles every month & don't laugh it's paid for👍👍 I ♥ my Toyota
How did you re attached the harness under the seats ? I removed my seats and I can't figure out how the cables go back in correctly and I have ABS lights on ! Can you please post a video on how the cables snap back in the correct way
Great vid…. Where did you get center console cover
It was included with the covers
Great service
Can you tell me how you get those new seat covers
the link should be on there, Ebay seller.
you're doing a public service keeping such a peach on the road
I have a question. My drivers seat in my 1998 4Runner SR5 Sport worn and old. I managed to pick up a beautiful passenger front seat that is perfect. So I know how to swap out the bottoms but how to I swap out the backs so that I can still have the mumbar function?
Chris Petrillo the top cover is undone at the bottom by 2 plastic interlocking pieces. Just slip it off. Its a tight on/off..
You may have to razor blade slit the opening for the lumbar button on the left side, swap it out.
@@JLeeChron ok thank you. I guess what I meant was. Can I also use the passenger foam back on my driver's side and have the lumbar function. I figured I would have to make a small cut on the fabric for the lumbar lever.
Chris Petrillo not sure, but IIRC the foam is the same. And on another one I did, I used a passenger side cover for the drivers side, so yes, I *think it will work.
Let us know how it goes! Thanks for asking
@@JLeeChron Thank you so much and I will update. Gonna be about a month before I have the time but will let you know how it goes. Thanks again and be safe out there ..
Hey I have the same 4Runner and was wondering about those floor mats? Mine are worn out and I’m looking to replace them
Jacob Bullock I like the Husky original mats- the ones you see here are just 7$ mats from Menards. Good for everyday summer use, but offer no real slop protection or slide protection. But they look good for resale, are disposable, cheap.
Where did u order the seat cover? Great job BTW 👏👍
There is a link in description ..its the naugahyde as shown
Ebay buys.
Also there is a leather one done on another 4Runner on there and I liked it a bit better.
Where do you live, California?
Hey man I’m swapping some seats and having a really hard time getting the top part off where it latches around that cylinder. Any insight into how you did it? Thanks!
Devin Lees maybe use a little heat from a hair dryer. Its an interconnecting piece of plastic channel that snaps together. Squeeze it together and it should separate.
Getting it off should be easy,.....but on is harder.
Greetings from Kabul, great video. could you please share the link where did you order the seat covers. I have similar issue with my 4Runner 2002. Tnx

@@JLeeChron Many thanks, indeed helpful video and thanks for the link. Cheers
Cedar Rapids airport?
Hello do u have the link of the eBay seat covers?
cesa1221 these are the Nagahyde:
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283436424139
These have a plastic-y smell that will go away after awhile.
Leather:
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123356818891
About the same in quality and wear so far.
thanks a lot ....great channel
what milwaukee impact is that? I'm looking to buy one to work on my vehicle and be more efficient. I just don't know a good one to start out with. I know you can't go wrong with any of them but i'm looking for a smaller portable one I can keep in my truck.
go M12 for portability
this one is 2997-22 combo had a lot of them and no problems
Great test at the end, to see how ungrateful your kid is if you bought them a used vehicle. Don't like it, I'll sell it. Have fun saving for a car and riding a bike to work haha
lol yep, its always best to have them save for their own!
5:35 H E L L O H U M A N
skipped too many steps. hog what? I wanted to see how to take the bottom cover off the seat. Seemed to skip most of the steps.
Once you get the seat out and folow the general outline here you will figure it out.
Hog ring pliers are an upholstery staple
Lol
you leave so many steps out that the video is not very useful.
Where did you get the seat covers?
My exact question. Did I miss that point
