    How the heck do you keep it so clean in winter? Did you just wash before pics?

    Has not been washed in 5 weeks. Only drive it 3-4 days a week. The color and good paste wax keeps it looking clean. Not driven in snow. Parked inside when snow started. Believe it or not it is dirty and needs to be washed.

    http://support.coverking.com/hc/en-...nce-between-CR-Grade-Neoprene-and-Neosupreme-

    Just a friendly FYI. The neosupreme's are not real neoprene (coverking even states that in their description) and is not waterproof. Their genuine neoprenes are a bit more expensive but hold up a lot better in the long run and I'd recommend them over the neosupreme's.

    Edit: looks like auto anything sells the genuine coverking neoprenes for 249.99 per row but they are much cheaper if you get them through costco. I got mine on sale through costco for 279.99 for both rows. They aren't on sale anymore but 349.99 for 2 rows is still a hell of a deal.

    Why not drive in snow? Isn't snow driving part of the reason someone might buy a truck? I have the same truck and love it death, but come one, it's not a Corvette.

    Yeah, I guess they're not true neoprene, but they're very inexpensive and look really good in the truck. They suite my purposes oh hauling my dog around and keep the hair off the stock seats. They are easy to clean as well. I think they're about as good as you can get for the price. Are there better, higher quality options? Yes, of course, but these are great bang for the buck in my opinion.

    Yeah that's true, but the main reason I said something was because you can get the genuine coverking neoprene seats at Costco for cheaper than you can get the neosurpremes through autoanything or other similar sites. It's heavily discounted at Costco.

    Let me tell you my experience with CoverKing neosupremes. JUNK. I put a $500 set on my wifes 2016 Escape 1 year ago. I put Clazzio covers on my 2016 Tacoma February. I made 1 simple adjustment to my Clazzio covers the 2nd day. Have not touched them since and they look awesome. The CoverKings have been adjusted no less than 10 times. I rode in the Escape last week. Now 2 of the tie down straps are completely torn off of the covers. JUNK. Would not pay $10 for CoverKing covers.

    Yeah I've heard people having issues with the neosupreme's but I've never had any problems with the genuine neoprenes and I had them on my last vehicle for 3 years and currently have them on my Tacoma.

    Hmmm Falken AT3W or KO2 for a 265/70/17 AT Tire... Decisions decisions.. The Falken is much cheaper and I like the tread pattern and it has great reviews, but the KO2 seems more tried and true and comes with the possibility for white letters out! :D

    These will be going on a set of 17 inch TRD Pro wheels which will then go on my 2016 BBP Sport access cab 4x4 MT.

    This thread is giving me all sorts of great ideas! Ideas that will end with my wallet feeling thinner..

    I have a bbp trd or ordered and saw this one come in today and had to snap a few pics of it. It's not mine but aside from the running boards and the fact that it is an auto it looks like the one I ordered. Also the dealership confirmed that mine is in line to be built and now they are trying to allocate it to speed up the process.

    Can you post some closer pictures of your DB Customz grill. I have a BBP truck and was looking at that grill with the blue back plate, but wanted to see some pictures.

    Love that grill, cannot justify the $600 price tag for a purely cosmetic piece.
