A few questions for those of you with Wet Okole seat covers. I find the cloth seat backs in my 2012 SR5 uncomfortable - too hard on my lower back. Do the Wet Okole's add a more "cushioned" feel to the seat back? Could I add a layer of foam (1/4 to 1/2 inch?) between the seat and the Okole, or...

Thanks for the response. I wish it was as easy as changing the cloth seats for leather seats. The basic problem I have is the shape of the lower portion of the seat combined with the active head rest actuator. I have actually made a little foam wedge to put behind my lower back, which is a...

I bought a 2012 SR5 new a year ago. I still find the cloth seats uncomfortable. I am 6'2", 180 lbs and get a lower back ache when in the truck for even 10 minutes. I have had the truck to three different upholstery shops and they say they can do nothing about it - afraid of liability issues...

Thanks again. That is exactly the info I needed. I'm skiing the same size K2 Recons and Aftershocks with the MX bindings.

Thanks for the info. Are the crossbars on the Trail the same as the SR5? My crossbars are only about 1.5 inches above the roof.

I recently bought a 2012 SR5 with OEM crossbars and need to add a ski rack (not a box). However, those darn crossbars are pretty close to the roof and limited in width. If I install a Fat Cat 6, is there enough room for the "bottom ski" binding to clear the roof without using the rack's lift...
