Thanks! yes book is at around $11900 for year, miles and condition - fortunately for me not a lot of demand near NY Metro area for big gasser SUVs! Good to be here and should have her in front of my house in less than a week once my 401K loan check clears and I pay the balance...

Thanks!
Thanks to LivingLarge - I have a new Drivers Seat bottom ordered - hopefully will arrive before I pick up the truck - my first project - yaaay!
Got the hog ring pliers too - assuming just remove the seat, pull off the old cover and slip on the new one with the hog rings... Pysched - this was the one "bad" thing that bothered the wife and I about the truck - otherwise she is pretty mint!
Here is the seat as it is now...

Haha, sure I will have plenty of things to work on -going from two leased vehicles - a 2012 Nissan Rogue and a 2012 Mustang that of course have had no maintenance. Gotta love the projects - keep us young...lol

I just got done doing my driver seat bottom. Once i cleaned up the top half and put the leather conditioner on both parts they matched perfectly. I replaced the foam at the same time and i'm glad i did. The old foam was in rough shape and by the time you pull the seat out of the truck you minus well replace it. The Hardest part of the job was those stupid hog rings. It occured to me after i was done that zip ties may have been easier than the metal hog rings. Has anyone ever tried that?
Congrats on your new toy.. I hope you have as much fun with it as i've been having with mine!
