    nice.

    test drive buddy!!! the tall folk need to feel out the ceiling height (sunroof vs. no sunroof).
    i also bucketed out my driver seat to drop me a bit, helps for us lanky drivers.

    @St.Germain - I’d love to here more about that!! I’m perfectly comfy in my sons 2005 Gen 2 with no moonroof. That seat has probably compressed a bit. The new fluffy seat in the Gen 3 felt tighter.
    I carry most of my height in my torso, 34” in-seem. So torso wise I’m probably closer to a 6’6” type driver.
    I’m super bummed the Gen 3 can’t be ordered with tech package & no moon roof

    i got a Pro and there is no moonroof option. i thought i'd miss the moonroof (which i have only used for fresh air, never for light in previous vehicles), but i haven't missed it at all, because of the rear electric sliding glass. that is all i ever needed, and i have more headroom as a result... win-win for me. the 17's have the electric sliding glass but the 16's do not.

    regarding the seat work... the excessively flat seats in the Tacoma are too high and very uncomfortable for me. so i had an automotive-experienced upholstery shop fit the seat for me. they carved a good bucket from the underside of the foam which is so damn comfortable, and my right leg never goes numb anymore... all for $200. i was literally about to sell the truck from the seat discomfort and the crap ECU tune, and managed to get both fixed last minute and kept the truck.

    Speaking of Houston and Tacos. Can you recommend an installer. We know Austin, just not Houston.

    We had a customer ask for a Houston Installer reference yesterday and we had no leads; didn't feel like saying buy pizza and beer and see who shows up - as our answer. :cheers:
    We wanted to offer something a little more professional; not that HoustonWorld couldn't do the job.:muscleflexing:
