Specter Off-Road Seat Covers are designed and sewn by our own upholstery 

professionals on our premises. They are made to industry specifications to be 

installed by upholstery professionals and will exhibit a factory original fit. With a little 

forethought the average home mechanic will successfully achieve that same original 

fit. For a proper fit, we also recommend replacing worn and torn seat foam. Replacement foam can be purchased from 

Specter Off-Road. Headrests were a factory option on some 40 series Land Cruisers and are therefore headrest covers 

are sold separately, see part numbers below.
