    Looking for some front seat cover options possibly ones that have seat heaters built in? Anyone have any seat covers they like? Was looking at wet okole but they are definitely pricey. Any info would be great!

    Thanks for the reply, I might end up getting the seats reupholstered… unless I can find one driver seat but probably not

    I’ve put Carhartts in 3 different trucks over the years & they hold up great. Easy to remove & clean unlike the Wet Okoles & other neoprene covers.
    Seat covers & window tinting are my first order of business after purchasing a vehicle. Then again, I live in Texas so our priorities are probably different judging by the heated seat reference…

    Yeah I have cloth and was quoted $475 per seat and that includes fixing the cushions if needed. Idk I’ll look around but I’ll probably end up doing seat covers until I find a nice clean pair of front seats. I have the 4Runner seats in my first gen Tacoma and have the blue/gray interior. Just so hard to find a nice clean pair of seats

    Replace either the seat or the leather/cloth itself.

    Was going to do that with my 4Runner but instead I did my Land Cruiser; new leathers for the rear and replaced the driver seat with a Sparco. Have yet to do the passenger front only cause my wife's almost always with me.

    Does anyone have pics of their Carharrt / Covercraft seat covers? Looks like they have a couple different options as to standard or precision fitted ones.
    Online pics doesn't do justice here. Thanks

    I recently installed Wet Okole covers. Fit looks factory installed. They are pricey but are waterproof and the materials seem robust enough to last for years.

    I'm going to replace all my seats with leather, but it feels a bit pricey, does anyone know the price?

    I purchased the cover king neoprene $99/row set from sams club color options are limited but fit perfect and install was easy. Seems like they’ll last a long time

    ENJM, installation seems to be the bane of so many seat covers... do you have any pictures ... it's rare to hear 'easy to install'... thanks

    I don’t have pictures of my install but the fronts slipped over the backrest portion first once you pull those down the seat portion is fitted and there are heavy duty straps that run under the seat that tie in to the rear “foot” portion of the backrest. The rears are practically the same minus it is split. The fold down armrest was its own separate piece. If you go to cover king or type in cover king 4Runner install it’ll show you exactly what the install is like

    For the price from Sam’s Club they can’t be beat and they fit really nice just have limited options as far as colors when you do go through Sam’s Club but I usually get solid black and that was an option. Plus they arrived I wanna say within a week and a half

    I like the pics. Look durable and like they will do the job.
    Let me ask a question with a little different flavor than the original post
    I am looking for a cover that I use when I go off-road/camping/hunting and then transition back to fancy mail crawler when I get back. What I “want” Is something I can put in and out of the ride with ease. It doesn’t need to be very pretty while it’s in cause it is more short term and the protection/functionality is more important.
    The covers in your pic look great. Would you describe the on/off as “easy” or something you would dread having to do every two or three weeks?
    Thanks!
