I'd look at the cloth material that is used to cover outside benches and chairs..

Look up the fj45 icon review that motor trend channel did. They interviewed the owner of icon 4x4.

He used a material from an exterior chair and his seats look awesome.

A much cheaper solution would be to swap in bucket seats from a newer 4 runner

Haven't updated in a while. Got the seats reupholstered. We found 1992 Mazda fabric which matched very well with the original. I got the seats and my stacker console installed. Will upload pictures soon.

But I have a question. I am trying to finish install with the bezzel and boot for the console. But I can't figure out how to mount the thing. From what I have read there are brackets that go in. I can't figure out if they are bolt in or welded. If they are welded that would be difficult since I don't want to do anything non reversible . Want to be able to swap back later on down the road.
What is the best way to mount the console and still be able to take everything out and return the at to oem?

 I took old seats and turned them into a couch.
