Air Bags & seat covers
I'm gettin' ready to order some seat covers, but realized that I think there's an air bag mounted in the seat back...correct?
Has anyone heard of an issue using seat covers on modern seats w/ airbags??

The seat covers have to me made to allow the air bag deployment. Check BEFORE you buy.

Wet Okole's
Just ordered them after finding the section where they are air bag compliant.
Last time i used seat covers, it was on a 1977 model...things have changed a bit! Does anyone else have any issues with the way their stock seats are WEARING? I've almost worn a hole in the left side of the drivers seat back already (20-k miles).... __________________ 07 TRD-All options. Dest.

The driver's side seat back, lower, outboard bolster has been showing signs of wear since bout 5K, the material is a little frayed and the black has worn off and looks light gray.

I got a snag on my passenger side bottom cusion within a few weeks because that's were I always put my laptop bag. The woven fabric may be good for letting it breath and dry out from getting wet, but it snags easy, wares easy, and hair gets stuck in it easy (dang dogs). Seat covers are defiantly a good idea.

I ordered WO covers for the front seats. Black with red piping. Is the seatback storage an option or does it come on all of them? Haven't decided if I'm going to do the rear. I never use the rear seats, so I may just remove them and build a custom rear bed and storage drawers.

Seat wear
Hey DEWFPO.. I'm thinking we'll all need to buy WO's at some point
I'm sure the outboard bottom side will wear out on mine. I keep the seat high and slide in and out over the thing. Seat back storage would be nice. I used vests on my Jeep seats and it helped. Ron |
