Seat covers? Help a newbie decid

Yea usually if it's a tight fit, it won't go off/on easily

 

+1
The fronts aren't too bad. If you have huge arms and hands, the straps might be a little difficult to route under the seats.
Another plus I noticed, they have low friction. Makes sliding in and out easier.

 

I spent right at $600 for a full set of coverings in mine, but I paid extra because I got them in black and camo. I could upload some pictures of you want. They fit REALLY well

 

I'll take a look if you dont mind posting, but $600 is very steep for me.

 

It's cotton duck. If you don't wet them down or wash them they will be loose.

 

I've attached some pictures of the front and back. Take notice how good they fit with absolutely no wrinkles unlike the carharrt ones. They also add more cushion which is a plus. I ordered mine from carcoverplanet.com because they were cheaper than the actual coverking website. They are a little expensive but trust me well worth it. They also have 5 year warranty if it tears or fades

 

Marathon Seat Covers. I have had mine in my truck now for 9 years. I get in the truck with wet waders from duck hunting and the water doeasnt soak thru. They are built to the year and model of the truck. You Wont Be Sorry With These.

 

Those are the best looking Carharrt covers I have seen. Still love my Clazzios though.

 

Haha thanks!! But they are coverking not carharrt

 

No wonder! Still, they look great.

 

Actually Coverking makes the Carharrt covers.

 

Installed Marathon Max 5 a few days ago. They look and feel great.

Here are a few installation tips.

Tools needed, scissors, 12" wooden ruler and some old Velcro to put on strap tab ends.

Feeding straps in a carpeted truck was a bear (feeding the straps under the front seats was tough as they velcroed themselves to the carpet until I put some old Velcro on the first 6 inches of straps). I used the ruler to feed the velcroed straps under the seat. If you use a piece of the fuzzy side of the Velcro on the tab end with the ruler you can feed it to the back of the seat, even with big hands/arms.

Seat Bottoms: Turn the seat covers inside out and pull sides down. The seams will line up better if you do. Try to keep the 1/2 inch inside seam turned down for a better fit. Use the ruler to push the seat cover between the plastic seat guards.

Seat backs: Turn the seat backs inside out half way and slip them on like a pillow case.

Head Rest: Install them first on the seat. It is easier. The covers will almost fit right even installed wrong. Putting them on with the fuzzy Velcro to the rear of the headrest goes quickly as you are not wrestling with them since they are in a fixed position.

Estimated install time @ 2 hours. The covers fit like a glove. Thumbs up!

 

Absolutely.

 

Here is a pic of my Carhartt covers. The backs fit really nice after you wash them. The fronts fit fine for me. I could make them a little nicer but considering they have been on for a year or so and I have not messed with them I think they fit fine. I had Wet Okoles in my 07 and they were okay but did wear faster than the ones I have now. Also if you are in a hot envorment I do not like the wet suite material. Everyone has an opinion and there are many good covers out there but for me I am pretty happy I went this route. Also my dad just picked up a set of Carhartt front seat covers from the covercraft outlet for $85 shipped so that might be work a look.

 

Does the pocket function? Looks like somebody has been drinking a shit ton of gatorade.

 

LOL, yes the pocket does function but know that does not come with the covers. I made the console cover from a pair of pants I purchased on Amazon. Used it to cover my door inserts and to make the console cover. And yeah the gatoraide bottles make nice little spitters.

 

That's pretty slick. +10 for creativity

 

Thanks man

 

They might. Probably right beside the factory that made the Tacoma they are going in. Actually though the Carhartt covers are made by Covercraft.

 

Good for you man. I am not even getting into the whole "made in Merica" thing. I am about the most patriotic person you will come across but life changes and time marches on. I can't say I have sported bib's since I was a child but I get my shorts from Bass Pro and flip flops from combat flip flops (awesome company I had to rep! They do not make products in the US and for good reason, they also help support educating Afghan females & clearing land mines in 3rd world countries) and shirts mostly come from tactical shit. I do prefer my under garments to be made in Thailand and purchase them exclusively from Walmart!
