    Sorry your Ballistics didn't fit well.

    I am more than happy with mine. I didn't go the WO route because of the padding thickness and heat conduction.
    And being able to kind of "slide" into the seat with gear on is easier with these.

    Shit, and I ordered on Black Thursday.... any pics to compare with Greenbean below?

    I phoned in my order on Black Thursday. I asked specifically for 2012 Sport seat fitment. The sales rep (Gabby) triple checked with the fab dept. I was informed that the PreRunner seats are the Sport Seat model. Anyone??

    ... and that is only under the 2015 drop down. Any difference from the 2012 Sport seats??

    These look a little loose, but also look like a fresh out-of-the-box install that hasn't settled yet. BTW, I reversed the flashlight in my mounts to stop my boots from hitting it and sliding forward all the time.

    I hope to krypes that I made the right choice. I bought front and rear (DCLB) with an extra set of pouches. They are being shipped out this morning from CA to WI. I have friends bringing them up to me over the holidays. I'll see them on the 28th.

    :fingerscrossed:

    I too loved my wet okoles, but the price tag is what deterred me from buying a brand new set when my last set wore out. Went with CalTrend.

    I personally run CalTrend Neoprene in my truck and they're 99% exactly like my wet okoles I had, feel & look the same.

    As for Coverking, i've had a few sets of them in my truck and they've all fit pretty good. I just prefer the 2 piece design of CalTrend.

    If anyone needs/wants a deal on Coverking/CalTrend seat covers, shoot me a PM and i'll probably be able to get your $15-30 off retail.

    :)

    2005-2015 All have the same TRD/Sport bucket seats, the only difference is if you have the "Limited" package, or the SR5 with the fold flat passenger seat(Not all SR5 have the fold flat though.)

    You sell enough seat covers, so I do value your input.

    But... I have looked everywhere for these answers!!!

    Is the TRD PreRunner seat the same as a Sport seat?

    Is the X-Runner seat the same as a Sport seat?

    Is the 2015 TRD Pro seat the same as a Sport seat?

    Thanks, man!

    The TRD Prerunner/Sport Prerunner will have the same seats, currently running "sport" seat covers in my TRD O/R. (Preunner, but has nothing to do with seats)

    X-Runner & TRD Pro SHOULD have the same seats as TRD/Sport seats[I've never seen either in person, but I do not think they changes the seats any. Never seen an option for either].

    The only difference i've seen in the seats of seat covers i've sold is whether it's "Limited" which leads me to believe that the "Limited Package" has different seats, but i am not 100% sure (Contacted coverking personally and asked and they couldn't tell me anything. Going off what i've researched and what would make sense.)

    My covers are CalTrend, but i've also had Coverking that were "sport" covers installed and had absolutely no issues.

    edit** Don't kill me if they don't fit, just going off what i've came to conclusion wise since selling seat covers for the past month or two. I think i've narrowed it down though.

    I've seen carharts as well, the fit isn't a snug for my liking. I like them to look as factory as possible - but i've heard they're decent seat covers.

    Try looking into CalTrend Neoprene. They're almost completely identical to my wet okoles I had (weight/material wise) and i'm very happy with them. Any dirt/mud on them just wipes off with a wet rag.. so far. Love them and can't beat the price for under $400 for the full set compared to $600+ for WO.

    edit** Coverking also offers neoprene, but i've had no experience with them. Should be the same.

    -I've concluded that CalTrend is overall better quality to the Coverking, but they also cost more. But they're both great covers. [You get what you pay for]

    My fear of the Neoprene is the "swamp ass". I am near the Gulf here in Texas and it gets crazy hot and humid in the summer.

    Ya, I caught that after I posted the Q (see edit).

    Thanks for the info!

    Well, here's hoping that I get the right fit seat covers. I do a lot of 'turn here down this gravel road and let's find a creek or back lake to fish' exploring. I am looking forward to the MOLLE system for reels, lures, accessories, etc. One belt, and different pouches for trout, bass, pan fish, etc.

    yeah that could be a definite issue, you may want to look into Coverking Spacermesh (breath easy, looks like factory seat fabric) or CalTrend DuraPlus. The Duraplus is made with heavier duty fabric to withstand more. Tools/pets/dirt wise.

    No problem!

    I actually have a front set of these in black coming in today with the MOLLE system - if you have a fold flat I can give you a hella better deal than you got if you're able to cancel that order. :D

    I would like to find some covers like my Trek Armor seat covers in my Wrangler. The fit is great, and they are very heavy duty.

    I got mine in Ballistic Charcoal Grey / Sport Seats / non fold-flat / air bags

    - Front row
    - rear row
    - extra set of pouches (black for differentiation)

    Total $431 & free US shipping - Order left this morning.

    Hey, man, I was watching all of your seat covers that came up over the past while, and I certainly would have preferred to support a TW member. But my needs are specific, the window of opportunity very narrow on savings (-25% for one day), and since I live in Canada I need to time my orders precisely to coincide with either visits from myself or friends to the US so as to avoid exorbitant shipping costs ($100 CAD) and crazy taxes ($120 CAD).

    I really appreciate your offer, but living in Canada really sucks in the aftermarket dept. :(
