I was thinking of getting a set of Wet Okole seat covers for my 2001 3.9 4x4 CC with the dual buckets. I was also thinking about getting some custom Door inserts. Do they make them? Does anyone have pics of the seat cover or the door inserts? Thanks.

I did the door panel inserts myself. Wet okole does not make them. I love the seat covers!

How did u do that Mark? Does the door material just rull off? Then just cut and glue the neprene on? Can you tuck in the edges for a clean look?

The procedure is quite involved. How I replaced the door panel inserts on the Dakota:
1. Remove whole door panel. The inserts are held on by 8 plastic welds.
2. Grind out the plastic welds with a dremel.
3. Remove the fabric covering the plastic panel. This was very time consuming and tough on the fingers, the fabric is glued on and will eventually peel off. I pulled and used a putty knife most of the time.
4. On the small panel a short (1/2-3/4 in.) plastic tube will remain. I drilled through these and then on the face I countersunk for a machine screw.
5. Then I took a 1-1/2 in. no. 8 machine screw, inserted through the hole and used JB weld to epoxy it in place. Eight of these for each panel.
6. On the main panel, with a dremel, I ground any left over flashing around the old plastic welds until they were level and flush.
7. After the epoxy set on the small panel, I made sure there were no lumps by sanding each of the screw heads.
8. Then I put double sided tape over the whole face and around the back side edges.
9. I stretched the new material over the panel and around the edges. I securely taped down the edges on the back side.
10. Then I placed the screws in the small panel into the main panel and used a fender washer, lock washer, drop of locktight, and a nut to bolt them on.
11. I put the panel back on and voila!
