I have a cross-country, round trip coming up in a few weeks and wanted to be a little more comfortable than sitting on Vinyl Seats for this 6000 mile round trip. In several other vehicles I have, including my '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Orvis Edition (172k miles and still going strong), whether they have vinyl, leather, or fabric seats, I've had Wet Okole brand many times over the years and really liked them. Not hot in the summer, not cold in the winter, and you can jump in them straight out of the water if you wanted to. And being a water-man, I have! :thumbsup: But Wet Okole could not guarantee that I would have them in time.

So I ordered up a set of Coverking Genuine Neoprene Seat Covers. Essentially the same thing as Wet Okole, about $100 less, and most importantly, they were available (5 days to assemble). The fit is nice, easy to install, nice padding, very comfortable. Really like the padded cover on top of the center console, which is where my elbow resides most of the time. I almost never use the center console flip up as a "seat", but the cover they included for the "seat" actually looks pretty nice as well when it is flipped up. $249.95 with free shipping so they didn't break the bank. Included the 3 front sections (40/20/40), head rest covers, and back pockets as well. Well worth it to try them out. Did not get the back bench seat, which already has a heavy duty cover on it for my Cattle Dogs to reside. :thumbsup:

Those look nice! I've got CoverKing's neosupreme on my seats for 4.5 years now. They are starting to show some wear now. I actually meant to order neoprene but didn't realize the mistake for a while.
Thanx! Yea I've had the "neosupreme" version before as well. For the extra dough, the "neoprene" version with the extra 10mm layer CR grade neoprene is well worth it. I think it was about $70 or so diff. We'll see how they fare over the long haul. :party018:
Wow. Quite a good fit. Im impresed
Those look Very nice
What brand did you buy for the rear bench? I also have dogs and am looking into covers that are dog proof!

Here is what I responded to on another thread asking the same thing about the rear seats. I only bought the front seat covers, simply because the back seat is "exclusively" for my Cattle Dogs. So I simply use the "Petego" cover for them. No need to waste $$$ on another seat cover over another seat cover. Personally, I've been using their brand covers for years on full west coast to east coast rode trips with both dogs in the back seat. No issues, works great. Can throw it into the washing machine when it gets dirty. No complaints from me. :thumbsup:

This is the best one I have used in several of my trucks. I have two Australian Cattle Dogs (85 & 87 lbs) who "own" the entire back seat area. Several cross country trips with these. They work great and last a long time. Fits my '14 3500 perfect. Won't be disappointed. :thumbsup:

I fish a lot in the surf...and getting in and out of my cloth seats has scared me enough to make me wear waders even in the 100° heat so that I'm dry when I get into my seats. This is inconvenient!

I wanted OEM vinyl seats, for this reason...but got a great deal on a truck with cloth.

Now I'm debating on finding a set of OEM vinyl or leather seats....or just getting covers.

With covers, could I be confident that they will not hold the saltwater that comes off of me and eventually smell terrible? Thats my fear with the cloth seats. Eventually they will stink if I get in and out of them with slightly wet clothes.

Looking for input. Not sure if factory vinyl/leather would be better...

Well being in SoCal and South Florida, I'm definitely the "salt water" man. :thumbsup: No complaints from me. If I get worried about them being drenched too much with salt water or smelling, I'll just pull them off and wash them with wet suit shampoo and fresh water. Too easy! :thumbsup:

I'm jealous of you guys. I would love to live someplace warm and close to the beach. It would be nice to get off work and shoot down to the water for a few hours of fishing.
Thanks for the info. The center console looks like it has a strap on the side - is that misjudged or just the way it is designed? Almost looks like the center console lower cover was designed for the previous console without cup holders.

I used to say the same thing. Made some changes and made it happen. You only live once!

Too old now. Got a baby on the way. I don't really care about my job, but my wife makes big bucks working for the government.

Man you have no idea how great it is. :party018::thumbsup:

Yep sure does. No big deal, has to be supported somehow. Really doesn't affect anything inside the console compartment at all. And yes, the bottom portion was designed "without" cup holders. But again, no big deal at all. They barely go over the actual cup holder "holes". Don't compromise them at all. Even with "Big Gulps" cups in there! :rof
Looks like a good fit.
Really is. Just got done with my round trip FL to CA to FL. About 5500 miles or so in 7 days or so. Definitely made it more comfortable and really stayed in position the whole trip. :thumbsup:
Looks nice!
