I remembered a while back Gonebrokeracing (Dave) purchased a set of Wet Okole Seat Covers for his Shamu.
So when red00lght posted a set for sale I first called Dave (Gonebrokeracing) and asked him how he liked 'em.
He stated they wear like iron, they look very close to OEM and folks don't even know they are not Ford factory.
He said when he takes the truck to the beach, peeps get in all wet and sandy & it's not a problem to clean 'em up.
I do believe that Dave (Gonebrokeracing) has the set for both the front & back seats...red00lght only had the fronts.
I'd like to protect the OEM leather seats. Mine are not bad at all (I've seen a lot worse) I'd like to keep 'em that way.
So if you're looking for covers for protection or your seats look a bit rough. I'd suggest a checking out the Wet Okole Seat Covers.
Dave took a couple of pics of his truck when he first put the covers on back in 2012. Here's a couple of pics of mine. They fit tight.

Pretty sure I broke something today. Went to pass someone on the street and engine lost power and engine started rattling and running rough. Immediately pulled over and shut it down. At mechanic now waiting for the bad news.

May have burnt a plug. The problem with a burnt plug is that they result from detonation so there is the possibility of other internal damage caused by the detonation (damaged plug bosses, piston damage, rod damage, etc.), or damage caused by the melted electrode as it exits the cylinder. Hopefully it won't be anything too extreme. If it is a burnt plug you need to determine why... poor tune, poor fuel delivery, etc.

Completely stock truck outside of K&N air filter. Barely at 52,000 miles.
I took it to the dealership to get a diagnosis, but not sure what I will do after that.

If you're mechanically inclined you can repair the launched plug yourself. Lock-N-Stitch is the best way to go and its the only Ford recommended repair. You may be able to borrow a Lock-N-Stitch kit from another member, cost for the kit is $400+ IIRC. If you let the mechanic do the repair make sure an aluminum insert is used. If a steel insert is used you'll likely have issues down the road.

Blew plug #7 on mine a while back when I lived in California, luckily TJ pointed me in the right direction. Got mine repaired at DMP down in National City, took couple of hours to fix and replaced my intercooler pump while at it. Cost me about 5something I believe. Know I check the plugs every couple of months especially that one to make sure they are not loose or anything.

Wednesday I started to pull the 80lb injectors since I had somebody offer to buy them. I finished Thursday and installed id1000s. Fired the truck up on the old tune and as soon as I took y foot of the gas it would stall out. Since it was late I left it alone till today. After I came home from work I loaded my race tune and tweaked a couple of things. It now stays running, but driving it down the road and accelerating to half throttle my a/f is dead rich 10.0. I knew I was going to have to retune it anyways, but wanted to see if I could get it to move under her own power. Now just need to get it in there for a tune.
