Interior Swap: 04 Eddie Bauer to 05 King Ranch

Nice job, wow, lots of work getting those things up to par. Looks like the previous owner did not give them a lot of love.

I just did the heated seat thing, one of my panels is already defective. So I have to rip it apart again. Where did you put the switch's?

If you look at the picture above that looks across the front row and console, you'll see I put them in the factory location. Luckily, when I purchased the interior from the King Ranch (sans the heated seats that they assured me were there), the console made it here, so I had a fresh one to use. I needed 20mm holes for the switches, and the heated/cooled switches from the old seats were too large of an opening.

I wanted to have them in the factory spot in case I ever install a wood dash kit, that would have cutouts for the Eddie Bauer switches. Rostra is supposedly great about warrantying them (3yrs, 36K miles), if you do have an issue. That, of course, assumes that you went with Rostra.

I'll post more on the heated seat install later tonight. wasn't sure if it'd be of interest.

where did you order the interrior from? i am looking to do the same swapp one day just with a 3rd gen 08 Expy xlt, I mainly just want the 3rd gen king ranch seats at the least.

Looks great. I love the king ranch leather.

Nathanialson: Check your PMs.

jjbusa: Tough call on how it would look with a grey interior.. Not much different than the 07+ KRs, in my opinion, being that they use all black other than the seats, if I'm not mistaken?

I don't think the brown would look good with the gray interior. Jmo

I seen some i think it was 07 that was black on the edges and the center was the KR leather! I wanted them but im poor! lol!

These would look good in my truck! lol!
