    Polished 16x8 Pro Comp 1069's 4" BS Nitto Mud Grapplers 305/70/16 Magnaflow & glasspack muffler Stainless tip K&N 63 series Aircharger Vent visors Autometer volt and dig. temp. gauge custom mounted Factory chrome rear bumper (not black factory, one) TRD pedal covers TRD skid plate Hurst T handle shift knob Rear Tint Clear bra on the sides Chrome extinguisher Icon non resi coilovers, ICON RR shocks, black seat covers. And some other crap
    I got my all Black mesh GT Covers yesterday. I thought the whole seat cover would be mesh but it's only the center sections. It's kinda cool in a way gives it a little more style and gives a more factory look and the mesh is where it needs to be.

    Took almost 4 weeks to get but they said it would take about 3 weeks, so no issue on that. Looks to be nice quality.

    I will try to find time to install them by Sunday night and post pics up. A lot of cinch straps on the bottom half of the seat cover but the seat back should be easy and only take a few minutes to install. The back just slips over and has velcro on the cover flap to attach to the velcro strip on the back of the factory bench.

    As a note, with this seat cover you don't need to try to disconnect the center (Mini Me) seat belt, although I cut that damn belt out last month anyway since it serves me no purpose.

    If these things have a nice fit maybe I will try their leather ones next time.

    Even though I'm not using the headrest covers, they have a very snug fit, which is a good thing. I'm using black leather headrests, I got from a salvaged lexus.

    Did I say last Sunday?? Haha. I installed them last night/early this morning and will put up pics later tonight.

    I was very happy with how they fit. I was expecting to be dissapointed but I'm pretty happy with them. We'll see how they hold up over time.

    Factory seats being a 10 and pep boys covers meant to fit a full sized 1970's chevy truck bench with no cut out for the notch in our bench seats being a 0, I give these a 8.5-9.0 on fit.

    If I had to nitpick, the openings for the seat belts were a bit larger than they needed to be. The passenger side looks good but the drivers side has a little bit larger hole.

    Once the fabric gives a little I can probablly cinch the straps a bit more and they will fit even better and that hole will move back a little further. The wrinkles have already started working themselves out (from shipping).

    If they last a couple of years before wearing out, I would be happy and for sure buy them again.

    just call marathon and ask them, they are pretty cool. Based on some other posts, marathon is the way to go.

    Anyone interested in seatcovers should also check out Ruff Tuff Products. We do ship to Canada and offer a similar range of products to those companies previously mentioned in this thread.

    Glad you called them. Lets keep this updated as I'm sure it'll help many w/ their decisions based on all the feed back.


    I had the wet okoles in a wrangler and the heat combined w/ the neoprene...(and correct me if i'm wrong but neoprene tightly involved w/ anything causes sweat in the heat/sun...) swamped my ass up, WAY up, much to my dismay, and i'm not a big sweater, lol. I'm not saying they didn't look good b/c the all black looked good in the jeep till the non neoprene sections bled out to the sun, turned gray and got fcked...pretty much looked like sh it.

    Roll of the dice. I'm old and have used marathon for a few trucks and i can't convey enough the durability, strength and wonderful customer service. Plus i had to use a channel locks to install them b/c they were so tight and fitted.


    AND no I don't work for them but wouldn't mind living in MT.

    Weathertechs, personally fabricated tailgate lock, tint, extra D rings, Exactfit seatcovers, re-enforcing the tailgate and adding a leaf next week.
    I got the exact fit covers from Ebay and was impressed. I had to make a relief cut for the center seat belt, but I sewed it back together. Other than that, they were perfect. Had the side airbag hole, everything else was a perfect fit. For $69.00, I couln't beat them. Generic covers at Autozone would have cost me that much.
