    Solid product. Had been eyeing these for awhile but honestly could NOT bring myself to justify $100+ for these. Fast forward, upgraded my tired old OR shocks for some Fox Pros and an unexpected consequence of no nose dive was ME sliding forward on the seat too much at a stop. So I took the leap, installed these today and am now kicking myself for waiting so damn long.

    Well done

    Far to much money spent.
    Ordered a set based off reviews. they shipped out quickly but that’s where it stopped post office I am positive lost the package as it sat in Memphis for a week.
    reached out to desert does it customer service and after a few more days and a fake delivery from post office. Deric at desert does it went ahead and sent me a new set. Now any company can sell a product but the real deal comes out when there’s a problem with the order. This company was willing and able to help and make it right.

    Bought these for $79 and then found them on Aliexpress for $29 a set. Feel a little scammed. Live and learn.

    For what it's worth, the OP @EasyDoesIt engineered and designed this wonderful product. The one you saw is a knockoff and just copied it . I would rather support a forum member/seller who started it all . Any way to each his own.

    There is a cheaper chinese knock off of these being sold on ebay. I wouldnt trust something like that personally with that type of part.

    Thank you, I definitely appreciate that.

    Yes we invented the Seat Jacker after feedback and encouragement from TacomaWorld. We are Patent and Trademark pending, however that offers little protection from overseas knockoffs.

    We machine all Desert Does It products ourselves in St George UT. Our goal has always been to support the enthusiast with new unique products. The last thing we want to do is copy the homework of someone else.

    Thank you all so much for the last two years of support, it's been life changing for us (6 fulltime employees between the machine shop and DDI).

    Nothing sucks more than someone else passing off you hard work as their own and severely undercutting your price. The care and craftsmanship that goes into these products is quite apparent. Clean lines, well machined, and heavy/solid enough to set minds at ease they will hold up for many years as well as in an accident situation.

    You ship very quickly, I had mine within a couple of days from Vegas to Nashville. My experience with Aliexpress or most Chinese companies is that you order it and it MAY eventually show up, after you've long forgotten you ordered it many weeks later, best case.

    Keep up the good work, and let us know what you're working on NEXT! :)

    Ordered front and rear today. I already have an inch spacer in the rear from another member and I’ve been happy with them so I’m looking forward to trying the front jacked up. Also like how your rear has different options.
    Thanks!

    I have had these bookmarked for about a year, no idea why I didn't do them earlier. Pictures don't do the quality of these justice. Very well made. Thank you good sir. :hattip:

    I had a '17 TRD OR AC MT which we used for all our road trips. Over the 3 years that I owned it I started dealing with some back issues, which I assumed was due to me just getting old. Sold it about 15 months ago and bought a Golf R. In the last year and a bit of owning the Golf, my back issues disappeared, this I credited to all the physio and work I've done on my back. Picked up a 2021 TRD Sport MT earlier this month and on our first long trip my back/hamstring issues reappeared!!! So even though the new taco has the power seats it seems that the seating position is still not quite there for me. As posted on a bunch of the TW threads, the driver seat does not give the right leg support, and I think I've narrowed done my issue. Because I'm driving a 6MT I have to sit close enough to the pedals to fully engage the clutch. This forces my right leg (accelerator pedal) to be bent enough that the seat is not fully supporting the leg. On long trips where I'm in the truck for 5-8 hours a day, this turns into a pinched nerve in my lower back. So long story short, I ordered a set of seatjackers today! Hopefully this will save with the physio bills.

    A bit of an update. I got in to see my Physio guy the other day and asked if a bad sitting position could be causing my issues. He came out to the truck with me and checked my sitting position. His opinion was that the combination of seat position and long hours behind the wheel are definitely the main cause of the back issues (apparently getting old factors into it as well). Fast forward to this week. I received my Seat Jackers and installed them. Immediately I was able to adjust to a more comfortable position. Wednesday Spent the whole day driving and no leg numbness and absolutely zero back pain or pinching. Just based on the 1 long day in the truck, I’d highly recommended the Seat Jackers. It still feels like seat bottom or foam cushion is a little too rounded front to back, so I might look at modifying the foam for a flatter sitting surface.
