FS: Front Seat Jackers (Lifts the front of the seat) - 3rd Gen

Ordered and paid

 

Definitely going to order some of these! Hopefully it will help me get some clearance to mount some amps under both seats!

 

Got it, shipped it!

Nice. Check out our under seat compressor mount, it can be used to mount pretty much anything and our updated version has slots/holes on both sides so you can mount on driver or passenger.

Sick thank you man! A lot cleaner than what I planning on doing

 

Our TRD Orange Seat Jackers are back in stock. We also worked up a few MMPs in TRD Orange.


I'll add pics of the MMP on Monday.

Aww I missed the Orange ones!! I just received my 2 sets up in the Yukon, actually came up pretty quick. 22 bucks in duty fees.

I'm going to install them after work and update you.

 

Nice, it was hit or miss on quick Canadian deliveries during December/January, hopefully things are back on track.

Bazinga! Thanks @EasyDoesIt mmp and jackers installed on both sides. Also got my switch wiring done for the compressor. Well done, nice stuff!

 

I literally was sketching something like this out last night. Guess I don't need to do that now. lol

 

A couple questions for anyone who has used these. I read through about 30 pages. Better to just ask.

1. What were you looking for when you bought them?
-I notice when I’m driving, the front edge of the seat is nowhere near the bottom of my thigh. I haven’t taken my truck on a long journey, but I feel like that would cause discomfort if I did.

2. Did it solve the above problem?

3. Does it decrease the gap in between the top of the front edge of the seat and the steering wheel?
-Ibalreadybhave the front edge of the seat lifted all the way up (power seats) so the gap is already pretty small. At times when I get in and out my leg rubs the steering wheel. I’d be afraid to get these and that gap decrease even more, causing me to lower the front dive of my seat with adjustments and basically defeating these jackers.

Any honest input would be appreciated!

 

Hi,

Is your steering wheel raised all the way? I haven't noticed collisions with the steering wheel yet, but I have an 06 with manual seats (the one with lumbar). It was a concern for me when I got them too, since I felt like the steering wheel was low. But I haven't noticed any real consequences. How tall are you? I have my steering wheel all the way up and extended and it feels good, I'm 6'1" so I'm lucky to be the same height as @EasyDoesIt .

As for the under thigh, that's exactly what it eliminates for me and the reason I bought it. I can see if you're much taller than me you might still lack some because my seat is almost all the way back. I've only had them a few days and no really long trips yet but they feel good now. At first they kinda felt weird but after a few days the seat now feels like a normal seat and not a weirdly short seat like it felt at stock height. I lost a little bit of my vision of the sky but don't feel like my line of sight was significantly obstructed.

If you're wondering how they will feel I would make little wood blocks or something that are 1-1/4 tall. Remove the front bolts and loosen the back bolts and prop the front of the seats up so the blocks give you 1-1/4" rise, make sure they're not giving you more, and tighten the back bolts just a little so they're snug. Once it feels stable, carefully get into it and see how it feels. If you might like it buy 1 set to try out and get the second one later. The price is really appropriate and you can easily resell them because they're well made and great. I wouldn't use a diy solution for these, they are made to be strong in a collision.

I'm sure if you read through the thread you will see even more positive reviews, and a few people who they didn't work for. It's not really a risky investment.

Cheers,
Paul

 

Thanks for the lengthy response! Much appreciated!

I’m 6’ and current have the steering wheel all the way up and extended as well (as far as I can remember).

I didn’t even think to stick something under there for testing, so I’ll give that a shot and see how it goes.

I have power seat and the front edge has an adjustment that can be raised and lowered; it’s raised all the way now. That’s why I was concerned with the gap being removed.

I’ll get something and 1 1/4” to test out with. Thanks for the idea!

 

Just don't drive, obviously . Just make sure whatever you use doesn't sit weird and actually raise the seat more than you intended.

I've read from people with the power seats that they liked them too. It may be that you won't need the full lift, maybe with the power seat you don't need as much as us manuals. If you raise the seat 1-1/4" and have to drop it a half inch with your controls you still get some lift and may be just right for your seats.

 

For sure. I’ll play around with it and see if I like how it feels.

And what do you mean don’t drive? How am I suppose to know how it feels. I was planning on slapping a piece of wood down there and laying the seat on top of it and driving 300 miles. This defeats the purpose!!!

Just kidding.

 

Lol. Well you might slide off your blocks, or an accident could send you through the window.

 

1. Same as you, wanted to raise the front of the seat.

2. Yes

3. In my case the gap between my legs and the steering wheel is set by my legs, not the seat height. The Seat Jackers don’t move my legs higher, they bring the seat up to my legs to support them better. I don’t quite max out the front seat height with them, I probably defeat 1/4” of their 1 1/4” rise with the adjustment. That extra 1” in height on the front of the seat makes it more comfortable for me. I also raised the rear of the seat 1/2”, so the net front rise is about 1/2”. I raised the entire seat to lift my elbows a little higher off the console and armrest, I noticed I was supporting too much weight on my elbows on a cross country trip. At 6’4” I still have plenty of headroom.

 

Sounds like a pretty fun Saturday!

 

Thanks everyone! Just slapped a couple prices of trim together and raised them 1 1/4”. Boy oh boy is there an immediate huge difference.

TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Anyone happen to know if a coupon code? Or possibly if there’s a discount for buying the seat jackers and the front molle panel at the same time?

Edit: I’m cheap and always try to use coupons. Lol. I’ll be buying them even if there isn’t one. Not horribly priced...but saving a few bucks never hurt

 

Someone might sell some that don't work for them. Or maybe @EasyDoesIt has a discount for TW members, not sure. I would just buy em and support the guy. You're driving a 2021 Tacoma for gosh sakes

 

What part of “I’m a cheap ass” wasn’t clear. Haha.

Yeah, imma just order them. The comfort is well worth it.
