    Hey = New Member here in Central Texas - just purchased 3rd. Tacoma D-Cab since 2001 - need ideas on making driver's seat a little higher; saw something on Internet about shims / longer bolts for rear seat anchors - looking for other remedies w/o going to aftermarket seat?

    I purchased one of the first D-Cabs into Central Texas 2001 - drove for 10 yrs.= 211,000 miles; then purchased Used 2005 D-Cab w/ 95,000 miles on it -->drove it for 100,000 miles. Now have
    purchased Used 2014 D-Cab LB 4WD w/66,500 miles.

    Any suggestions- recommendations appreciated
    Patrick
