The Smittybilt GEAR seat covers are pretty sweet - Has anyone figured out which model fits 3rd gens seats the best?

bump cause I want to know as well!!!

i want to get a set of this also from what i read there is a universal one and i saw some guy ( JSmarine ) that he has the ones for the jeep . they look good but the front part(were you sit ) looks a little loose , but the universal ones i think they don have the bags tha go under your legs and on the sides

i would also want to know wich fit better

I emailed their customer service. I'll update when I hear back.

The ones for the jeep fit. But they are absolute junk. I had a set and they faded from tan to green/pink in the sunlight in about 4 months, the seams tore loose (my wife sewed reinforcing material over them), and they stained from sweat very badly - they looked awful. The look like mil stuff but they aren't - they are Chinese junk. Save your money for some good seat covers.

the kid had the same issues: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/81627-molle-seat-covers-j**p.html

You'd probably be a lot better off with something like these: MOLLE panels for seats

Here are some more reviews with the same common complaints - the seams don't hold up.

Have you checked out the Cabela's Trailgear covers? I've had mine almost 18 months and they show no signs of wear. Also, tight fit and storage.

I bought them because I wanted the mollie storage on the back but the quality is pretty crap. The universal ones don't fit well to the concave of the bucket seats and they faded pretty badly. Only reason I'm still using them is the storage on the seat backs, which I like quite a bit. Great idea, poor execution.

Coverking makes a style similar to these, might want to look into that as they are not universal.

Well I'm glad I asked before I purchased any. Thanks for the infoainkiller:

I assume the Smittybuilt ones are something like the Coverking Ballistic covers?
