WET OKOLE GROUP BUY SEPT 27-2011 THRU OCT 9-2011

Looks really good!

I had ordered the back seats before learning of this group buy, but I'll wait for the next one (after the holidays?) to order the front seats, with the console cover. Have you guys had to order the extra fabric separately to do the doors? Has anyone done this yet, is it hard? I guess you'd have to take the door panel apart to cover the fabric?

Thanks!

 

I ordered the extra 1/2 sheet for the doors. They sent a roll that is about 5' (yes, FEET!) high and I have yet to unroll it, but it looks to be about another 4'-5', so there will deff be extra.

There is a great DIY on TW for the doors. It doesnt look too bad, just make sure to read the entire thread. There are some good tips (ie use a dremel, and washers)

 

2) Keep pulling the backs down in order to close that opening. mine were the same way until I did this. you can see the two flaps overlap a bit, and if not completely stretched out, they stay open. I know it seems like they are all the way on but they aren't, I had the same problem.

3) Not exactly sure what you mean, but I think pulling the cover down more will help this.

4) Look closely at the console cover; there is a little twist in the elastic that denotes the back (I think), just keep working it on. THe only spot on mine where I can see the elastic now is by the latch button.

5) I think you have them on backwards (I can't remember which way the velcro goes, as I did it both ways until it looked right). I did the same thing, one way seems loose so I turned them around and have a fantastic fit now.

Good luck!

Edit: I did the armrests last night. It wasn't too hard, I followed the leather write-up I read here. I recommend the Dremel, if you have one. I used pan head screws and didn't need washers. I also went with 3M 90 spray adhesive. I used a second layer of material on the drivers side; we'll see how that holds up.

 

Ask, and Ye shall receive!






Even the map pockets are an upgrade from stock.



The last is just a pic under driver seat. Note red strips of velcro I used to tie down excess strap. Seat heaters are nice. Guess I need to hardwire them on my next mod day to really complete the project. These seats are awesome and I love that they stay clean. Now I don't have to be so anal about crap getting on my seats.

Thanks for the great GB!

 

^ ^ Sweet!

Sorry if you already said this but what color did you go with?

Fink

 

Mine were black with light grey, black TRD embroidering.

 

Are you happy with the light grey against the graphite interior? I went with light grey piping and a light grey logo on all black covers.

I never saw a light color console cover.
Awesome that it matches the centers.

 

I plan on doing the armrests when i get mine, about how long did it take you and when you say to use a dremel, what bit would i get for mine? Size?

alright i took a half day. couldn't wait til saturday...lol

half piping in charcoal....asked for black headrests but wasn't expecting them to have the piping on them. i like it tho.

took about 2 1/2 hours and didn't take the seats out. i can see why taking the seats out would have made it much easier, but i managed. fingers hurt a little tho people don't lie when they say they are a bitch to put on.

 

Half-day was a smart choice - looks awesome!

oh man all these pics are makin me really anxious for mine to get here!! Lookin great guys!

I ordered on the last day and got two-toned graphics so its taking FOREVER..!!

I'm sure it will be soooo worth the wait, shipping out 11/16

 

Mine too!

Fink

 

I actually like the way the black looks better. I plan on trying to trade my gray and include fabric for the doors (to make it more tempting) for someones black cover

 

I really like the black hear rests. Does your truck have seat airbags? I didnt see the slits on the covers

 

I ordered mine on the first day and they shipped yesterday.
Monday was 1 month. They said it would be 4-6 weeks when I ordered.

Be patient Grasshopper!!

 

For people who will be tackling the armrests

1/2 sheet is MORE THAN ENOUGH to do all 4 in a double cab. It's seriously 5'x5'

 

good idea.
With Simon I had to have a black console cover, he puts his paws on everything!

 

Mine ship Wednesday! Woot!!! Looks like mod day is the 20th! Laundry list of things to do.

 

the slits are there. i guess the seats are far enough back where you don't see them.
