Default Leather seats redone

i was wondering if anybody around central Alabama know a good reputable shop to have seats redone? I'm redoing it to factory color and didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for genuine Land Rover leather covers

Default They look good

i have tan interior on mine and the rear are immaculate and the passenger front is in great shape it's just the drivers seat bottom that shows wear. They guy I bought it from did take wonderful care of it and maintained it by the book.

I am actually in the process of replacing the head gaskets due to a minimal leak on the rear passenger side by number 8 cylinder and figured while the heads where getting reworked, I could have the seats redone locally. Trying to keep it local as much as possible without having to order from the stealership

I'm planning on swapping the lower seat cushions on my driver side with that of the passenger. That way I'll get a newer looking seat on the driver side.

Hope you can make instructions in the process. Pictures even better. Want to do mine too.

I've spent most of the day reading the rave manual and it doesn't seem that difficult to swap out. The difficult part seems getting the seats out of the truck. Once removed it looks like only a few hog rings and some other latches.

I have replaced both front seats with those from a boneyard truck. It's easy.
