    I purchased a set of these for my wife's Dodge Ram 2 years ago and really like the way they fit. I decided to buy a set for my 1998 Tacoma. They are pricey but fit tight and the Cordura Fabric is very durable.

    Wow! That's certainly a clean cab!

    Those seat covers are too busy for me. They would keep me awake while I'm driving :rolleyes: ...

    Tell me, how did you maintain your steering wheel? It looks like it is brand new! Mine has dark gray patches all over it.

    I went with head waters brand. Same design and material. The owner of head waters is actually the guy who made all the original marathon patterns but when he asked for time off to go hunting and got denied he said fuck it and started his own business. But either way cordura is the best option if you ask me. Durable and very snug fit!

    They are the best seat covers I have bought. As far as the steering wheel goes, I bought the truck from my friend who is the original Arizona owner and garage kept. I took a bunch of pictures prior to loading the pop up camper (included with the sale). I have a elk hunt starting the 8th of December and have it loaded and ready to go. I will take some pictures of the truck after I get the camper off.

    The black stuff on my steering wheel appeared after several years. I kept the wheel as clean as I could using Meguire's interior cleaner, but the steering wheel's paint has worn off. And twice annually for a total of about 10 to 15 days I used to have a radar detector on the dash. The paint has also worn off where its coiled cable used to hang down and go into the cigarette lighter, leaving two small black marks. :(
