    Hey All,

    Looking to put some seat covers on my 03' Tacoma Double Cab as the previous owners have kept the interior mint. I've looked at some from CalTrend and CoverKing that look pretty sweet and got good reviews, but was looking for some real world feedback or other brands to look into before making my decison. I want to be able to cover both front and back seats and have it match well (grey interior) and look stock if possible. Not a big fan of the covers that are baggy, and would like some level of water/stain protection.

    I'd love to hear what others have installed and their experiences, thanks!

    Both are Stock - built correct from the start.
    I just put some Coverking covers on my 2003 Double Cab. I have Skanda Ballistic Tactical in Law Enforcement camoflage pattern. Im very pleased with these. The fit is impressive. Not baggy. One problem was the straps under the rear seat were a pain. It didn't seem to have any solution on how they attach to each other. Coverking customer service was very quick to help when I contacted them. But, they didn't figure out the problem. I made "it work" on my own. Will post pic tomorrow.

    Hella expensive but those wet okole covers are pretty bad ass and water proof. They are neoprene.

    I would have to agree with bry838 on Wet Okole. I have them for 6+ years until I changed my front seats. Still have the back seats covered & have been on since new. Even with kids in the back it's held up great with no issues.

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    I like Wet Okole but wait for a group buy pricing.

    wet okole... I don't have them on my taco yet but I have them on my dakota work truck and the fit and construction quality is first rate and second to none IMHO. also the browning neoprene lowback cover seems to fit ok and is only 55$ I don't know of a matching rear seat cover to the browning and suspect that it would be oversized if they do make one given how narrow these rear taco seats are... i have a double cab

    Thanks everyone, gonna do some more research but looks like the Wet Okole's are the most popular. Too bad I just missed the group buy :(

    Gonna go ahead and tag on another vote for the Wet Okole. Yeah, they're a bit spendy, but they've held up great for a couple years now. No tears or stains. Easy to clean. Plus, for me, the big selling point was that they don't look like seat covers. IE, excellent fit.

    Any pictures of them installed? I want some camo covers and these seems to be perfect just not sure how they fit 60/40 seat since I see you also have the x-cab.

    I wanna say mine are durafit. They fit perfect because there model specific. I been wanting to review them (pros/cons) because I've had them a year now with no wear or tear to show. And price was like $50. They got storage built in which is nice.
    I can take more pics also

    If you don’t mind that’d be awesome man. I’ve been looking around and didn’t really see anything unless I wanted to spend a few hundred bucks. This is my first truck and the inside is pretty clean and obviously seat covers help a ton. Let me know what you find and we’ll work something out. Thanks
