Are the seat covers blk/charcoal? Working out ok?
Yeah, black/charcoal. Wish the charcoal was a little darker. They are great, tight, smooth...put one of the pads under the driver's seat, think I'll forget about the passenger side, doesn't seem like a difference. These are neoprene, they also have cheaper neosupreme?

New wheels and tires on for a few weeks now. Mines just an XL so I updated the instrument cluster to the XLT style with 4.2” screen. One of my favorite upgrades so far! I hated that tiny little crappy calculator looking screen.

Looks great!
Very curious to learn more about the cluster swap!
Mine is an XL also,and that swap would really be nice.I’ve already added the 8” screen with the better sync set up.

Thanks in advance.

Finally put on my 3” level kit.
The crash bars were fun for sure lol.
Painted the calipers while it was apart as well.
New wheels and tires mounted.
New graphix added to bed.
Nice 12 hour day lol,but worth it.

I am guessing they are pretty good at water resistance? I sweat horribly :facepalm: lol! ANy info on the neosupreme?

Where did you acquire the 8" screen? I plan on putting some miles on this weekend so maybe by next weekend the millage will match and i will put in the XLT cluster upgrade from my tiny STX one. I have about 1,000 miles to drive. Gotta get 6,878 and they will match exactly.

They've only seen a wet swimming suit, no problems. My main concern is stain/dirt. And I have a bad habit of sitting in with something in my back pocket...screwdriver, etc so I'm afraid to poke a hole in one, not sure how robust neoprene is, it's not ballistic. I don't get into steel plants anymore, so not as much dirty greasy work clothes. No experience with neosupreme, always wanted Wet Okole's for my old Ranger, so I just wanted to splurge...heck this whole truck was a splurge for me - "Mr. Cheapster"??

I bought the whole set up from these guys.Spendy,but 100% plug and play factroy parts.Simple install,and gives you auto climate control as well.Love having apple car play.

How are they in the heat? I love the look of yours, but does the neoprene get on in the summer?

Thanks!

Been in the 90's here recently, I'll say they are not hot, they seem breathable. After biking the other day the truck was out in the sun for over an hour and they were NOT that hot when we got in...Not like black leather.

No they are not for sure,but is all Ford parts,and all plug and play.Any future updates are downloaded from them not Ford.

It was a hard call,but SO glad I did it.
