    @eccracer104 can hook you up when you do it! :fistbump: They are nice when you want some fresh air, and they alleviated the squawking my passenger side made when I was running on the highway in heavy crosswinds.

    In regards to the EZ Down, can you provide an update on the condition of the cable after having it installed for awhile?

    Okay, this has been bugging me....why do I see so many seat spacers being done? I'm 5'10, and I hit my head every time I get in my truck, and feel like I'm having to duck down to see the traffic lights when I drive. To me, the seats already sit too high.

    That's true I guess. I'm just average height, and it seems like a large majority are jumping on this mod, so didn't know if I was missing something besides that.

    I'm 6' and put a 1/2" spacer under the back and still don't hit my head.
    Different legs length, torso height, different seat back angles...

    Bought this key fob case off of www.tacomabeast.com for $29. Digging the bigger size and how it feels in my hand. Couldn’t be happier.

    I'm 6'1" and think it's hard to get in also. I had a frontier and had no problem. The Taco is worth it though.

    I'm in the same boat as you. 5'10", and but most of my height is in my torso and head, so I'm driving around with the seat pulled up, and the back down, cholo style, and I'm still close to the ceiling, and have to duck down to see passed the rearview mirror. I could never see the seat spacer mod helping me, but as another said, everybody is different, so to each their own!

    If you are sick of ducking around your rear view mirror then get the @ImMrYo mirror riser. Looks better than OEM and does exactly as its named. Easily in the top three of my favorite Tacoma mods.
