I never found one. My local guy wanted 400 bucks to do just the drivers seat bottom. I was planning on buying KR seats but I need the seat 6 because of the kids and the ever present friends that I haul everywhere!

what is 40/20/40 ?? is that a crew cab configuration?

also on your DP tunes.. do you get any hardish shifts with the 80 DD, how about the 80 tow.. I have DP with Tony Wildman's and on the 80 DD it shifts hard into 3 at times and 4th for sure..unless i watch speedometer and at around 42 lift of pedal. stock valve body so far but looking at tugger or JW in future.

40/20/40 is a split bench, with the fold down center console/middle seat. The driver seat cushion is 40%, the middle is 20%, the passenger is another 40%, of the total 100% width of the front seat.

If the tune question is for me, I have a ZF 6spd stick, so the tunes don't control shifts; my left foot and right hand do that.

I knew that.. now to think of it mine is the same way.. wish were was some way to prevent stuff from sliding under the console when folded down as it winds up in back floor and impossible to pickup.. I need a bit of foam rubber or some to block it up..

so you shift are smooth as silk..

that what i was thinking as well.. what is cheap..

the leather seat bottom is 199 and backs are 209, if you need the lariat logo that is 50 bucks.

I had a friend that bought a new sierra last year and had the interior redone in leather, crew cab and it was like 1500 bucks. they did every thing removed seats, removed cloth, installed leather etc.

So how cheap is mexico,, amigo..

plus do you need special insurance to take a truck to mexico? how much is that??

Check my build "The Mule build" on the 7.3 obs section. I did all the interior for I think $340, carpet, headliner, and seats.

Unfortunately for this color the leather was not available, but all other leather is available and if I would of opted for tan leather it would of been $200 more, but I liked this one better even if its not leather looks real enough to fool some people

still it looks like leather from here.. so basically about 600 buck for all seats in leather.. how about the logo.. did he do that as well??

Will be in NM in about 5 yrs on the RV. (fingers crossed) so might need new leather in the lariat by then..

thanks for the heads up.

now how about insurance to go over the border?? or can someone tow you over for service.
