New owner of 06 SR5 4x4

[piratemba]

I just purchased an 06 SR5 4x4 last night... so far very happy with it.

My only complaint so far is the seats and I've seen several threads on here discussing the various options.

I'm considering doing some type of cover that will add some comfort/support- I see several like the WetOkie covers and I have also seen a discussion of the synthetic leather ones on Ebay.

So, are the WetOkie ones worth the extra $ over buying some sheepskin ones or something like that (what I had on my previous truck)?

Thanks for the input.

I love the wet okole seat covers. I don't have them but I have several friends with them on their jeeps. The best thing is that they are water proof and look amazing. The only bad thing, depending on where you are is that they get rather hot. I am from georgia where it is rather hot most of the year and they can get a little uncomfortable.

Thanks for the feedback... I hadn't thought about the heat issue. I am in eastern NC, so it gets pretty hot here in the summer too. Would you say that they are better/worse than leather in the summer?

I also have a local upholstery shop that can modify the seats for around $100 - $125 per seat, which sounds pretty good to me too. Anyone tried going this route?
