    I bought a Cabelas bench seat cover to match my front 2 for my 03 double cab. They're universal and have straps the go underneath the seat but the rear seats don't fold up and there's very little room to get underneath. Any suggestions on how to install or should i just spend the money on ones that are custom fit?

    Wet Okole are the best seats I've seen. A bit pricey, but from what I've seen, well worth it, you can get custom colors, and logos printed too. I was *this close* to ordering some, but I missed out on the last group buy.

    That said, the old seat cover I had for the rear was for the dog, and I believe I had to take the seat backs off to fit the strap around the back, and there was another strap that just fit around the front of the seats with a buckle.

    Wet Okole. Done. Neoprene is a bit sweaty in the summer though.

    It can't be impossible to remove the back and bench to put the covers on. Some do that anyway on front seats.

    Its snug and tight like a wet suit on a human form. Really well designed.

    I think im going to switch to custom neoprene ones down the road. Maybe wet okole, but for now the cabela's ones are good value.

    Thanks for the info!

    OME and worth every penny.
    It depends on where you live. There's no way I'd use neoprene in TX during summer.
