    I LOVE the brown leather interior, is it an option only on the limiteds ?
    Obviously it would be an arm and a leg from the dealership, anyone have suggestions on sourcing them(front seats, rear seats)
    Going to try calling all the local Toyota pick n pulls tomorrow... but that's a big shot in the dark.

    Maybe just settle for clazzios...

    If I remember correctly, cause I priced it out using online toyota parts dealer in USA, it's about 800-1000 per seat in front to just get the leather. Unconformed is if the actual foam is different or not.

    Don't forget about Katskinz.

    In anycase oem leather isn't really an option unless a wrecker local to you has a set.

    I would look into aftermarket options instead of trying to track down Limited seats.

    Katzkin will be a lot less expensive and in my opinion is better quality leather.

    I installed Clazzios and have been very happy with them.

    Yes, Katskinz are way better leather than Toyota factory. Also you can get pretty much any color, texture, color combo, stitching, etc. One of my best investments that I enjoy every time I get in the truck.

    @mesojdm Have you thought about calling junk yards? You may be able to find a totalled Limited with the seats intact and not thrashed or molded.

    Did you install the Katzkins yourself? I am wanting to but I haven't found too much information on the installation on the 3rd gens

    Couple family diesels were re done with katskinz. Turned out really well! That's who I'll use if I ever decide to re upholster the taco with leather.

    Clazzio will be about 1/3 -1/2 the cost for what you want the leather to do plus you still have cloth underneath if you decide to change your seat color / design again.

    I have both, Clazzio are about 85 - 90% the quality of Katzkins and easier to replace repair if you damage a piece in an offroad truck.

    800-900 is about what they cost. Go look in the GB section. There is a vendor there that has been hooking it up on Katzkins for a few years. There will be a ton of samples and I believe HomerTaco has a 2nd Gen how to install thread that would be pretty similar that I think is linked there. Quite a few have asked for this same color setup.

    I went with Clazzio's and have zero regrets. Everyone I have shown it to had no idea it was not factory.
    I had Katskinz in previous vehicle and I feel it was subpar compared to my clazzios, BUT I was not the one who installed it, for all i know it was a cheaper option of katskinz or something of the sort, and could have been abused much more then i do my seats.

    I have brown from leatherseatsdotcom I think it was, the brown color is about the color of the katzkins, but they have a lot of different colors. It was pricey, I think they were about $1k, + I hired a local auto upholstery shop to install them for $700. They replace the stock material and look pretty good.
