    So I made the plunge and gave back the crappy coverkings and ordered some wet okoles. I am so glad too. The guy I spoke with about my order hooked me up. I originally ordered them from auto anything. They order blank seatcovers so I called wet okole direct and they are pitting the brand on tjem and hooking me up with a center console cover for free. Can't wait to get these in. Anything to worry about the wet okoles or did I make the right move?

    Love mine, only thing I don't like after close to 2 years is the piping on the bolster has rubbed off from sliding in and out.

    Make sure you clean them with the soap made for the covers and apply the UV protectant they sell to keep them looking fresh and new.

    I need some assistance, while removing my rear shock, I can't get it to quit turning. The top of the shock has been rounded, what can I do to get it to quit turning so I can remove the bolt?

    Yea, changing the rears. The threads were toast at the top. The shocks were making a 'whooshing' when I went over a bump. I have a set of used 5100's to put on. The other side is the exact same, worn the hell out and rusted. The bottom bolt is torqued beyond 150 ft/lbs so I' have to get a 'persuader' to help out. Hopefully I won't strip the head.

    OK well who ever is doing this, put a small wrench or small vice grips where I've dotted it blue to hold in place while loosing the nut

    From what I can see theads are in pretty good shape

    I did that, it just spun. I used a 5mm and a 4mm but they just turned. I even got vice grips but they turned also.
