60+ year old thread.

You know what I mean!!

You, too.

And they will keep you awake

 

The other day, some of you were talking about Wet Okole seat covers. AutoAnything has them for $245 less 10% and free shipping.
My questions are: Do you have to remove the front seats to install?
Are they easy enough for an ole guy like me to install?
Are they worth the $220?

 

Morning.

Not necessarily remove from the truck, but I did unbolt mine so I could tilt them forward and backward to stretch and strap the covers on.

I did mine by myself. Having an extra set of hands would have been helpful, but not required.

I definitely feel they are worth it. I actually had to repair a small hole in mine (self-inflicted). I repaired it the same way I repair neoprene waders. If the repair hadn't worked, i easily would have spent the money to replace the cover.

Hope that helps.

 

That does help. Perhaps I could get a buddy to help, but it usually comes down to doing it myself. I was hoping to not have to remove the seats, but it sounds like it's easier to loosen them.
Thanks.

 

It is so much easier to remove the seat. Do not forget to disconnect the battery cables, wait 3minutes and disconnect the airbag wiring connector which is the yellow connector under the seat.

 

Well, that sure sounds like good advice. Thank you.

 

Not a problem Glenn. No need for the side airbag to deploy. When I installed my covers I put the seat up on a stand to make it even easier to work on. My stand was 2 saw horses with a piece of plywood on top.

 

Okole's are the best thing Ive put on the truck so far. Did mine like Rob did. just take the front bolts out & lean them back..

 

Back seat was not in good shape so I did the home camo job on it.

 

Hey look, real paper maps.

 

Yep You know how many times I have almost shot the GPS,, the maps are fail safe back up,,,

 

Yep, I've got a general idea.

Glad to know it's not just me.

 

Damn Charlie, that's a lot stuff all at once. How long do they estimate recovery from all that would take?

I guess the best thing to say is enjoy Hawaii! I know better than to tell you to take it easy. Hang tough man, know you will.

 

Charlie:
Will a stretching program help at all. It has relieved the pain in my legs from arthritis in my lower spine.

 

I did mine with them bolted in I couldn't get them out. Like Rob said, a second pair of hands will help, but doable by yourself.

Thanks... I think....

Have a wonderful vacation and the surgery fixes all your problems..

 

Charlie:
Too bad a stretching program did not help. I have Arthur in my foot and the only relief is a shot every 3 months or so.

 

Hawaii plan sounds awesome. I know ya'll are gonna enjoy. Looks like you've figured out how to do it right.

Morning all.

 

Evening Charlie...I'm a fortunate one, no arty in my body that I have issues with...been banged up and fixed up but no issues

I know you'll enjoy HI...did Kauai and Maui and enjoyed them both and still want to get back to see Pearl Harbor and pay my respects at the Arizona. Went diving on both islands while I was still on crutches from tearing my ACL when I came down the ladder and missed 2 steps...head of the femur looked like a crystalized windshield so I couldn't put weight on it for 8 weeks...The crutches were my best friends...

 

Evening all:

Nice camo job on the seats Jim. I need you to do that on my Jon boat.
I see the DeLorme Atlas, we used them all the time when we hunted Maine.
I think every logging road is shown on them; they were gold when running around in the North Maine Woods.

Vacations! Enjoy!
