I don't have them personally but, I've heard nothing but good about them. Keep this post up and I'm positive that you'll get multiple responses...

I had a set in my last truck, and loved them.

You could clean them right on the seat.
Only bad thing, you have to treat them like a scuba wet suit, so you need special soap for wet suits, else they will dry out and crack.

I did not go that route this time, I just got the water proof slip over covers for when I need them.
These are also water proof, so if you spill on them or if they get dirty you just take them off and wash them in the washer.
Much easier cleaning them the W.O.s.

So if you are after the protection, the $19.95 slip overs work just the same ( not as pretty ).
If you want to change the look of the interior of the truck, then the W.O.s are a good route to go, just be aware of the care needed for them.

Thanks for the info. Can I only get the WO's by calling their number, or are there any retail outlets?

Years gone back when I got them, I did it direct.

I still have yet to see a vendor carry them, but then again I am not looking for a set to know for sure.

If you get them direct, they used to carry the soap for them, so you could get it at the same time.
That is unless you have a scuba shop local to you.
I had 3 shops all within 10 miles, so it was not a problem for me to get the soap local.

I saw WO's in a Cabelas catalog or Bass Pro shops, don't know if the price was comparable to buying direct. They also carried the UV protector.

So if you don't clean them often how well do they hold up. I don't have a whole lot of dive shops around me, although I could find one if I looked hard enough. I'm about to buy a used 99 power seat that is grey, and I have a tan interior. I'm thinking of going that route instead of reupholstering, which would be at least double. Does anyone have pics of a tan/charcoal WO? I saw a set a while back on someones' truck here on the boards, but I cannot remember whose it was? Let's see some pics!!,,,98

I have heard the console covers don't fit well, but I would probably not use it anyway

When the pics are posted, I'd like to know if they were the special order F150 covers or the Universal bucket seat set. Seems like the F150 seat is normal in size compared to others.

The one in my set, I did not use, but that was for 60-40 type seat console. I have no idea if you would get one for the SCab / SCrew type console or the EXPY console.

I do have a 60/40, I'm just switching from a "non" power 98 60/40, to the more comfortable 99 60/40 seat which "is" power. The console I was speaking of is actually the fold down arm rest/seatback. I'm so hyped about getting a power seat, I've wanted one since I had the truck,,,,98

I have them

in my '02 L.. they are great.. love them... the console fits ok but you have to work it a little.. havent had to clean them yet.. they arent quite a year old.. you can order them direct at
www.wetokole.com
they know what they are doing... you get them a week or so later since they make them to order.. go to the website so you can see the colors, etc.. they also show the different seat combo's so you make sure you get the right ones..

Good Luck
Dana

Do any of ya'll have pics of your WO's. I am trying to decide what color combo to get and the sight only shows the color on one actual seat. It's a little hard to get an idea of how the color will look by swatches only.

Any suggestions would be welcome...I have a black L.

If you have pics of them, it would help if you post them. The WO sight has a gray/torqoius they are showing.

I'd love to see the Grey/Black.....that's the combo I was most interested in. Did you get them with the Lightning Logo?
