5th Gen Wet Okole Discussion & Picture Thread

[BigredTEX]

so for those that got the 2nd row of these covers was it a 60/40 or 40/20/40 and does this stop you from being able to put down each seat individualy including middle seat?, am about to order a set of these and cant seem to find a clear answer some got 60/40 and some 40/20/40

I can't be sure about the 60/40 vs 40/20/40 since I bought my rear seat covers used from another member (rhymes with Reata), but the rear seat is really 60/40 with a center arm rest. They allow each seat to be folded down individually as well as the center arm rest.They fit so well and are so well made, if you didn't know they were covers you would think they were the actual seat material, both front and rear. Well worth the money. If you are not sure which to select on their web site give them a call, they are very helpful. I had some questions when I ordered the front seat covers and they were very pleasant and friendly to work with.

yeah was just concerned looking at some of the pics that with 60/40 you wouldnt be able to still fold the middle part down individualy so you could put some skis inbetween the 2 seats, thanks for your response will post pics when i get mine

how to fit snug

for those that installed there back seat row, do you find it is harder to fold them down? i think it might just be because my fit is not so tight but its a pain in the ass to fold my 2nd row down now, any tips to get it very snug fit, i only see one piece of velcro on the center fold down seat for ex and every time i try and fold it down or up it sticks coming down and doesnt going back up, is this normal or is it just my fit, will post some pics later

 

[shaftymcgee7]

finally got mine , light grey with half piping and old school 4runner logo kinda a pain to get them all snug but turned out well i think

I have no problems folding my seats down...but...when I put then back into normal riding position, my rear passenger seatbelt latch gets buried under the seat cover. It takes a bit, to make sure its exposed. I'm sure I could fix the problem if I just reinstalled the cover or something, but for now, I just deal with it.

Wow that looks sharp! I need to save for these!

 

[shaftymcgee7]

yeah so far im very happy with them wish they came with more install instructions than a generic bucket seat install, total cost was $727 including shipping to alaska and some extras such as chem care set zipper pouches and half piping. Had to buy my other half a windows surface so she wouldnt nag on me for getting myself something as much heh. i will say for anyone who installs them its best to go slow tightening up the seats little at a time then tucking them in a little

How do the Wet Okole's feel in the temperature extremes? I'll see both 100+ and below zero temps.

Any feedback on folks dealing with 100+ temps? Just need to know if I should plan on the inevitable swamp ass should I pull the trigger on these things.

 

[shaftymcgee7]

i cant say for 100+ temps but when it was 90+ here for almost whole last week i was getting a lil sweaty, they are just a little bit warmer than stock seats but if your like me and live somewhere where its below freezing almost 7 months of the year they are great

 

[kjsayers]

Can someone tell me if the Wet Okole's reduce or limit the factory seat heaters? I would like to get a set but also don't wanna loose my toasty seat warmers.

 

[smallfry]

Just finished installed the front and rear seat covers and front are kind of pain but not too bad. The rears were easy. Just need to tighten the straps a little more.

I think the they sent me the wrong head rest covers for the back since they don't fit properly.

 

[K9trainer]

Wet Okole's kick ass, here in Hawaii installation is included for free

 

[SOOTRD]

I wonder the same thing about having front heat warmers from factory, can you feel it thru the WO?

According to Toyota website the rear seats are 40/20/40 IIRC.

So when is the group buy?

Love the covers. They were a pain in the ass to install!

I saw you said they had charcoal centers. The back seats look really light colored. Do they have a different center color, or are they charcoal as well?

If your truck is a Trail, does the charcoal match up well with the rest of the interior?

its called lighting

I don't have pics handy but will add shortly. I just got front and back done, and that includes the 40/20/40 back seat. Observations:

- they don't make the ass as toasty as I feared (although ask me again in summer). The softex seats were already sweaty.
- be careful if the backrest cover is installed too tightly, I found my electric seat would stop going all the way forward via tilt control as the straps were too tight
- for the back seat it still folds down but not as easily as stock seats. The functionality of folding down the middle console etc is mostly unchanged
- the installer (I went to their showroom in CA) talked me out of their cleaning kit and said just use soap and water.

Overall I'm happy so far, will see how we go in summer once they get abused more.
