Anyone know a place that sells nice seat covers for an 03 Tacoma? I saw some nice TRD ones on the internet somewhere, but dont know who makes them:pig: :pat:

Hi Nags, if you want the neopreme wetsuit type, look in our Tech section for a write-up by me.

Lots of us have them, and WATRD has a set in his Tacoma.

They are not cheap, but they are very nice.
You can get the TRD logo put on them also.

Sweet.. I'll check 'em out. I dont really knwo if I need neoprene though... Doesnt sound like it'd be the most comfortable either

To my knowledge, TRD does not offer seat covers. You may have seen mine...



They are Wet Okole covers. Neoprene material; take tons of abuse without blinking; and are more comfortable than factory seats (though a smidge warmer than factory material in the summer). I paid about $270 for them shipped to my door.

You could always go leather...

I've always wanted a set of these!

The neoprene WetOkole Seatcovers are the way to go.. they are pretty comfortable, the manufacturer puts cushioning in the covers, plus the're waterproof and they look bad a** especially with the options to put on the logos.

I have same logo's as Jackson has on his...

Good luck with the covers..

Those okole ones look sweet with the trd logo. How much warmer are they like you say? I'm in S. Florida... don't want too hot :chicken:

I put mine on last spring, and I have not noticed them any warmer than the factory cloth that is underneath.

I like how it's a little easier to "slide" into the rig too.
Much better than stock they be.

OK... first off a little more info than you probably want to hear, but...

I'm one of those people that's always warm, and I sweat a lot when I get hot. The seat covers aren't warmer as such, but they don't let my skin breathe as well. Have you ever worn a quick-wicking athletic shirt (the kind that pull moisture away from your skin to keep you cool)? Then put on a typical cotton t-shirt. The cotton t-shirt feels warmer if you're sweating, but you don't notice much of a difference otherwise. That's like the seat covers. At work, I have to park my car about 150 yards from my office. The walk to my car after work is all uphill, and on really warm summer days, I usually get to my car just as I'm about to break a sweat. This is when the neoprene feels warmer, because it doesn't let my skin breathe. The rest of the time, I can't tell a difference.

Hope this makes some sense.

Oh, btw... there are more pics on my site if you're interested. In the Add-Ons section.

Not to derail the wet okole bandwagon. But another alternative is the Dupont Cordura seat covers (same material as backpacks). There are a few different companies making them. I have them front and rear and like them. They look good, fit pretty well, and are pretty tough. They are supposed to be water proof. Also, they are about half the price of wet okoles

nags

Half the price... now you're talkin' my language. got any pics of 'em?

How much are the wet okoles btw?

Jackson quoted $270 for his covers (front only).

No, I don't have pics. I will try to take some tonight and post later.

Ok, had to use 'night-shot' option to get these, but hopefully you get the idea. I don't worry about snow and crap getting into the truck with these covers and husky liners. Like I said, it is an alternative to neoprene.

These look like some nice seat coves. And the colors look pretty nice as well.

The look nice, how's the fit? Any sagging or bunching?

I was really bored tonight and was checking some old posts and found that I never responded to you. I originally bought the fronts from PP and paid too much. I found out who made them and ordered the rears direct and saved a bit. They are made by Alan Graham Motoring Accessories.

Another option is Marathon seat covers. I did not go with them at the time because they did not have a gray color.

Sorry for the late post

Thanks HERMES! GUMBO.
