I'm thinking about ordering these seat covers for my Dak. The custom covers tailored to fit your seat style look pretty good on their site. Has anyone bought/installed these covers? Thanks.

I'm also curious about the 60/40 rear bench in the quad cabs. Anyone done this? Is it an expensive custom order?

I LOVE MY WET OKOLE's!!!!!
They are not cheap, both sets were over $500. But they are of the best quality fit and finish. I have both the front and rear seats covered. Yes they have patterns for both sets. They are very comfortable to sit in, you don't have to worry about them getting wet, and they don't pick up lint/fuzz/stuff like the factory cloth. I highly recommend them.

Nice pics Mark, covers look excellent. Are those door inserts by Wet Okole also? I have the club cab so I just ordered the front custom fit set for now. I plan on doing the back also eventually. Thanks for the info!

The door panel covers are my creation. A bit of work, but I get a lot of compliments.
P.S. I planning some more with the maroon...

I think you're on to something!
As for the seat covers, how long have they been on? My biggest concern is if they strech out over time and loosen up. Any problems with fading or UV damage? I know Wet Okole sells neoprene conditioners, cleaners, and protectants. Your truck looks awesome!

Interior looks great Mark. Covers look way better than stock. But for that price, if I was to upgrade from stock cloth, would probably go with leather from Katzkin for a little extra. Did you have someone stitch Dakota on the material you put on the doors?

When I ordered mine I inquired about the fading & UV. They said that concerned open top Jeeps only. I figured I could probably get the shampoo, etc. at a dive shop here in Jersey cheaper.

Yeah Mark, you ought to market those door panel inserts, I'll bet there would be demand for quality pieces like that.
When you first installed your seat covers were they a real tight fit?
How are they secured to the seat?

They have been on about 4 months. They fit very tight when new, and are very tight now. The material is neoprene, like wet suits are made of. I have no worry about stretching or sagging over time. I have a friend who has had a set for 3 years on his Camaro, they look like they are new.
I bought the UV protectant and will use it religiously. It might be overkill, but I want these to last. The sun is strong in Southeast Texas and I don't want to take a chance these will deteriorate.
Here leather is a mixed blessing. It's beautiful, and in the right climate I would love it. I don't plan to get leather again because of the summers here. It's so hot and sweatty, leather is miserable, the wet okole's are much more comfortable after the truck has been in the sun on a summer day. Another reason I got light gray insert was that it would tend to reflect the heat.
The DAKOTA was embroidered onto the neoprene by a local shop.

Got them today!
Easy install, they fit like a glove.
They look excellent!
Now I have to order the rear set, duh, should have done so in the first place:-(
My brother saw them and took the number for Wet Okole, he's going to order them for his Liberty.
Thanks, Mark, I knew after I read your feedback concerning these covers that I would not be dissapointed.
