Default Wet Okole Front Seat Covers

THE INSTALL WAS FAIRLY SIMPLE.
FIRST, I PULLED OFF THE HEAD RESTS AND INSTALLED THE COVERS. SLIPPED RIGHT OVER THE STOCK HEAD REST. THEY ATTACHED UNDERNEATH BY VELCRO.

NEXT, I SLIPPED THE BACK COVER OVER THE TOP OF THE SEAT AND PULLED THE LOWER PIECE BTWN THE UPPER AND LOWER PORTION OF THE SEAT AND ATTACHED THE FRONT AND BACK SIDE TOGETHER WITH THE ATTACHED VELCRO.

NEXT, I SLID THE LOWER PORTION OVER THE BOTTOM SEAT, PUSHED THE STRAPS THROUGH SEAT BOTTOM AND THE BACKREST GAP.2 STRAPS ARE LOCATED ON THE FRONT PART OF THE LOWER COVER AND ON THE BACK PART OF THE LOWER COVER, THEY SNAP TOGETHER UNDERNEATH THE SEAT AND CAN BE ADJUSTED FOR A SNUG FIT. THERE IS ANOTHER BUCKLE STRAP ON THE SIDES WHICH ALSO SNAP TOGETHER UNDERNEATH THE SEAT.

ALL OF THE OPENINGS FOR SEAT ADJUSTMENT LEVERS ARE DOUBLE STICHED AND REINFORCED. I SHOULD BE GETTING THE REAR SEAT COVERS IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, I DID'NT ORDER AT THE SAME BECAUSE THE FRONT COVERS WERE $255.00 AND THE REAR IS ABOUT THE SAME. THEY FIT LIKE A GLOVE, SOME THE BEST QUALITY SEAT COVERS I HAVE SEEN. WELL WORTH THE MONEY.

I had a set of these on a CJ once. Very nice!! I'm gonna wait 'till they run a sale again. I think I got mine for about $175. I think the reg. price was about $225 then.

I like the color scheme reversal.

Yes they do. I just called them. The 60/40 rear cover
is two pieces.

They can also accomodate the front air bags if you specify.
The covers have a "slit" on the side according to the rep.
You also need to specify if you have height adjusters on
the seats.

I'm getting some color swatches sent and probably going
with these although the Smittybuilts or Coverkings are way cheaper.
Any thoughts on these guys?

I've been looking at these for my XJ, just to dress it up a lil bit. I'm thinking of going with black for the outside color and light gray for the half piping/inside color. I also plan on having the Jeep logo added in red lettering to match the exterior.

Those look really nice - but what I'm wondering is how the stock seats look after sitting on those for a year. Any ruboff or dye transfer or anything like that.
