Katzkin Upgraded Leather with Heating/Cooling

darwalk · Jul 7, 2026

Thought I would drop a post here showing our leather upgrade. Katzkin full re-upholster, and added heated/cooled seats. Everything including diamond pattern, and Rubicon emblems in the front seats set us back $4500. These are not overlays, the company came out to the house and worked on the seats for 2 days. So far so good!

Looks sharp! What color is that?

Nice! I had the same pattern in our Toyota. Excellent quality and very comfortable!

Thanks for sharing - I've been wanting to do the same in a similar color. Please share an update on how they wear - I have a dog and am worried about nail scratches, would love to hear from others experiences!

IMO Katzkin leather is thicker and better quality than the OEM leather. I wouldn't get the cooled seats with a dog though since their nails might be an issue with the cooling vent holes.

WOW!! I knew those were nice, but they look FANTASTIC!!!!

Thanks for sharing.. they look great. I would also love to see them installed.

Do they have unusual colors like blue or orange?

We have the leather factory seats but no ventilation option, and for a Jeep that would arguably be best.

Nice!

Do they come with the padding or just pull over existing cushions? Asking because I think my cushions have a significant amount of the trails I've driven, pushed into the foam.

I would love ventilated seats in Florida, but $4500 is re-gearing and 5 new tires

Did you have heated seats from factory? Where di they place the button to control heating/cooling?

Beautiful. Expensive but very nice looking. Love the color. I'll add another question.

The rear seat head rest. Mine don't fold flat like that. 21 JLUR cloth. Is that factory with leather or cloth? Or did Katskin mod that? Mine sit horizontally when folded and get in the way of loading in the rear seat. As I type this maybe I'll go check again and see if I've been doing it wrong all this time

It's a 4xe, our rear headrests fold flat because the seat bottoms fold forward then the back folds down on top of the battery.
