    Just some stuff...
    You're gonna like 'em! I've had mine for over a year now. Haven't had one problem with them. They still fit great. In a couple of weeks you might want to snug them up a bit. After that they're fine.

    Heat def still works. My couple of drives since installing yesterday have been a little short so I can't speak to the level of intensity just yet (w/ out covers get's F'ing hot on level 3), it seems that the heat might be a little more dispersed and a little slower to come on having to work through another material layer.

    Ordered a set from Costco today. $200 less than WO was too good to pass up even with the GB.

    Just a follow up, and an FYI if you order 2 row from Costco - the second row came separate, I got the front row on a Friday and the second row showed up on Monday. There was no mention of this in the order details or shipping info I got so just be advised.

    I got them both installed and running for about a week now. Getting used to having the extra material on the seats, but it does add a little bit of comfort. The fit is really dialed in, the rear seats were super easy to install and the fronts weren't that bad if you at least unbolt them so you can tip/tilt forward and access the bottom of the seat as previously mentioned.

    The heated seats still work great.

    For the material, it shows/collects dirt more easily (this could be static cling, we live in a very dry climate and I haven't sprayed them down with anything), however the dirt wipes/brushes off easier than w/ the factory cloth. Dog hair is more noticeable, but it doesn't weave into the fabric like the cloth so much easier to clean.

    My only concern long term is how warm they might be in the summer, we had a 55 degree day last week and I was parked in the sun, the seats were very warm when I got in so I'm not sure what 90+ is going to feel like. Personally for me and the ease of cleaning with the kids and dogs, and not having to worry about tracking in dirt and being water proof for snow in the winter and watersports in the summer it's going to be a fair trade off. If I lived in Phoenix I probably wouldn't want Neoprene and would probably have gone with their mesh material for much less money.

    If anybody has any questions let me know.

    I ordered the CoverKing tactical nylon with molle panels over a year ago. Easy to install (15 minutes). I installed water-carbon seat heating pads (Amazon) beneath the covers for both front and back seats - they get hot as f*ck if you need them to. The covers still look like new after two kids and a 100# dog in the back seat for a year.

    If you have the genuine neoprene I can say that after a couple of months they off gas and they don't hold heat like they do new. When I first got mine I was worried they were gonna be hot all the time but within a few weeks that subsided and they seem to breathe really well! Over a year later and they look great! About to take a sponge to them with some wetsuit cleaner as part of "spring cleaning" soon

    Just bought a full set.. Opened the box and found a white stain on the back bottom seat cover.. Great quality control. With restocking fees and shipping, they make it nearly pointless to do a return. We will see what happens...Calling..

    I bought a set of neosupreme seat covers through auto anything a few months ago.
    I'm pretty happy with them. One thing they didn't send the installation tool and non slip pads with the covers. I did call and get that sent out to me. IMG_20201020_183136.jpg IMG_20201014_184123.jpg

    I got a front and rear 2nd gen set through Costco a week ago. They replaced a front set of Wet Okole.

    My summary is that the Wet Okole headrest covers are finished nicer and the two-piece bucket seat covers stay adjusted better, but overall the CoverKings are a great buy with minimal complaints. They fit well and quality is just as good as Wet Okole.

    Downside is that the first weekend trip I made with the dog, she tracked in red dirt/sand on my black seat covers and now they are super dirty. Oh well, better than tracking it into the truck and depositing into the OEM TRD OffRoad mesh upholstery.

    A buddy has coverking seat covers on his 2019 trd...told me i was better off looking at something different, while their not bad...said he had to remove the seats to properly install them.
    I elected for carhartts mossy oaks. Except for the driver seat cover being a bitch to slip over, all else was a 15 minute job. Actually the driver seat cover now looks like a better install with hardly any wrinkles. It'll be a sob if ever needing to remove for cleaning.:fingerscrossed:

    Correct, that’s how I explained it in my write up.

    The install process, while tedious, is super easy.

    I just don’t want people reading this down the road and be swayed against the covers over the install. Just remove the seat bolts and tilt forward to allow access to secure the straps and cinch them down.

    None of the cables or air bag sensors need to be disconnected to complete the install.

    Just installed mine. I went with the Neosupreme seat covers. $145 and free shipping from anything auto. Unbolting the seats made the install easy. Very happy with the fit and quality.

    Are these leather?

    From what i was told it wasn't as easy as you claim...said mounting those seats to sit back in place was a bit of a pita to get the holes to line back up.

    The only thing I remember being difficult from trying to remove the seats was the air bag clip, that’s when I decided to just unbolt and tilt forward.

    Would it have been easier to install the covers outside of the truck? Probably. But I feel that any convenience gained with them being outside the truck is lost by the effort of removing them.

    It’s been a couple years but I don’t recall any issues lining the seat bolts back up.

    I def wouldn’t not purchase fitted covers due to difficulty of install.

    You can see the seat tilted in my install pics: https://imgur.com/a/uuloM
