    Install wasn't bad, took longer because of beer breaks so I can't say for sure but probably only would've took an hour and a half if I buckled down.

    Arm rests need removed for install on my style. The rest was basically tucking and pulling / lining shit up.

    Super sweet! Hows the comfort factor did they add any padding, fit tightly?

    They are a little loose in the back Where is shoulders would be. But I'm going to see if I can adjust them a little more it's nothing catastrophic. There is more cushion added with the seat covers. I have only had them on for about 6 hours so I can update later but so far so good. Rear cup holders go back in just fine they only complain I have about that is that the area / pocket that the cup holder folds into is kind of loose but no one will really ever see that. As long as they are as waterproof as they say they are then I will be happy. Anything is more waterproof and durable than suede middles of the seat lol.
    Apparently I don't know how to multi quote....might just be the Rocky mountain magic at this point

    You tapped the Rockies :D

    Those look really sharp. I always wondered how nice they were, they were popular years ago. I got to see them in person recently and they're really well fitting.

    I didn't have much choice to bite the bullet with the group buy going. My dog is slightly rambunctious and was too afraid of what the sueade would look like after too long. Also got tired of throwing a damn blanket in back for him on seat. This will be way easier

    I had them in my 1st gen and really liked them. We used to go boating a lot and the covers really helped protect the seats.

    Nice those look awesome! I bought some coverkings because I didn’t have the money for the okoleys...pretty happy with them but yours look much nicer! Here’s a pic for comparison.

    The group buy and the fact that I never intend to sell this truck we're the biggest factors. Reviews between the 2 companies helped also. I believe I read a pretty shitty review of cal trend or cover king. Yours don't look bad at all. Not as thick looking but I've seen worse.

    They definitely aren’t as thick, and I bought the cheapest version there was. I’m just done with Walmart covers and had a friend that liked his coverkings. No arguing that the okoleys are the best ones out there though!

    Cover King has so many grades and variations, I'm sure some are better than others. I have Cover Kings in my Element from the prior owner, they fit very well but they aren't the wet suit neoprene material. I've been happy with them.

    That's the thing, I don't know which are best but all ya can do is go off reviews. None of the brands seem to be cheap that's for sure.

    They do seem to have a little trouble now that I've tried to return them. Not much room to slide with extra fabric on there.
    If I had 1 complaint so far thus would be it. I don't use them so not a huge deal

    Wet Okoles are the only way to go for covers. I put the on my Gen 1 the week I bought it new. 12 years later when I traded in the truck I removed them to find the leather in PERFECT condition. The dealership thought I put new seats in and I got $12k for the trade in with 150k miles! I since repurposed the covers for my excavator, tractor, and ride-on mower...

    I love the "TRD" on yours BTW!

    I put a set of Wet Okoles in my 2002 16 years ago, and they still look great.
    I put a set of them in my 2007 when it was new to me in 2017... these are the best seat covers on the market.

    Anybody with the wet okoles have dogs? I’m curious how easily dog hair cleans up. I have a border collie mutt and the lady has a cattle dog mutt; both pups shed pretty good.

    Dog hair sticks in the wet suit material and is tough to get out.
