Sheep skin seat covers

Hi Bill,

There is a bit of info in the archives on this subject if you put in the keyword "sheepskin" but the one thread I remember giving info on suppliers in Brisbane is HERE

Hope this helps.

Just had my Patrol check measured today for a new set of genuine 1inch think merino wool custom made sheep skin covers. (Black and silver (grey) to match the interior)

I previously had this company make seat covers for my X-Trail & they were brilliant.

www.autofleece.com.au - in Brisbane.

But beware, quality costs :)

About $650 for the front seats including headrests, and that's not the most expensive option either.

Thanks,

Aaron.

Mortels in the Hunter Valley .They have a web site
Good Luck!

We just fitted a new set of sheepskin covers, very happy with them.

Had them fitted here on the coast. (West Burleigh)

Last set lasted 14 years on our old Maverick.

I agree the prices are stoopid....

But I scored a COMPLETE set of RAMS covers for $400 off ebay for the GU..

Now, when I called RAMS, they quoted me $800 for the FRONT PAIR ALONE!!! and same for the center seats...

Someone tell me theres no such thing as a rip off.

Dont discount some Canvas covers either.

When I was in the motor trade we threw heaps of the rotten stinking things in the bin, just make sure you put a set of very cheap covers underneath to stop the raw leather (suede) sticking to your seats, it is almost impossible to remove later.

I got a great pair that fitted the Patrol from SuperCheap for around $200 maybe less, used one every day int he work car till I got rid of that 3 yrs ago and then put it into the Patrol so I have two in the front, theyre still great

Hi there Bill, I have two I just took off my lux and will be on ebay really soon, cost me $500 for the pair but I dont like the feel of them they take the feeling out of the seat. I feel like I'm sitting on top of the seat not in it. As mentioned above if you do buy a set make sure you put some thing under them or they will leave the hide on the original seat covering and is a bastard to get off. I just had some old bed sheets so cut them to size and put them under first. There a nice feel to sit in but just to thick for me. Maybe its just the hilux seats arent as good as say the cruisers or patrols as far as depth goes. Regards Steve M

G'day mate,
We just had our 100 series decked out with sheepskin covers for $600 including fitting from a bloke at the Fairfield markets(NSW). He was so impressed with the job he asked if he could photograph his work and use it as part of his promotion at the market.

Thanks for all the replies, it was great to get such a positive response. I had a look at the web site of Auto fleece and they appear to have good quality seat covers. A bit dear but that is the price of a quality australian product as against a imported one.
I shall give them a call on Monday.
Thanks again,
Bill
