Has anyone come up with a way yet to raise just the front portion of the seats?

 

I am hoping to get on the list for 2 pairs?

 

A couple folks have, but it looks a bit sketchy to do.

 

Available?

 

Any left ?

 

Okay, so I have enough material for 7 pair of spacers and 3 are reserved so far. I will need to keep one set free just in case any errors are made, and coming up on christmas I will not be able to start on them for about a week. If still interested PM me to lock the remaining 3 pair.

I will order more material for future orders, but will not be able to take on any more requests until some of the backlog is cleared out.

 

I would like to order two sets when they’re available please

 

I would like order 2 pairs please. Thanks

I see these spacers all over, what problem does this fix?

 

Soooooo, I got about 15 requests today from folks asking me to inform them when I have stock available. That probably is not going to happen any time soon considering I have quite a few active obligations.

I updated the OP with a procedure to contact me, so give that a read and hopefully that will filter in the serious inquiries.

No offense to those I have not responded to in here (or those who emailed), but I have 10 paid custom shift knob orders that are in the early design stages. There is a lot of communicating involved for those knob orders right now, so I hope you all understand how important it is for me to give them my undivided attention.

 

There is a link to the original thread started by @tonered in the first post here. Lots of information there.

 

4 pair of spacers available for immediate purchase. First come-first serve.

Three pair are typical 1" rise, and another is about 1/16" shorter ... not sure if that will have any impact on bolt replacement length but it should not being so trivial.

 

One of the bolt holes is open to the ground below. I think the other is hidden by a channel under the cab or it would be open also. I agree the bolt length shouldn't be an issue, but if it is, a second washer under the bolt head would take care of that.

 

Excellent, thanks!

Okay, 2 pair gone already ... others are pending.

 

interested in 2 pairs, sent you a email

thanks

 

I am sort of in limbo with one of the payments, and I feel it is right to hold them for at least a few hours. After that somebody has dibs on the remaining spacers.

I have material on the way for 13 more pair, so I can take deposits on those at some point ... just not quite certain when I can actually begin machining them.

 

Officially sold out again, will update when I start the next lot.

 

I've ready all the threads referenced here and from what I can tell some people don't think the seats are comfortable because of the angle of the seat/butt cushion. Others think it's fine. I originally just thought these were for people who may be a bit shorter than I and needed them for a better sight line. I'm 6 ft so I don't think I fall in that category, but after I looked around I dont think that's why anyone wants these. (please correct me if I'm wrong here) I've only read of the roof being too low for some people with sunroofs.

Personally, I have some sciatica and lower back pain(residual from a back injury form the car that was totaled before I got my Taco), and I am unsure if these spacers would help with the discomfort I experience as I have only driven my taco since the accident and I think it's just something I'm going to have to life with regardless of what I drive.

Question for those that thought the stock position was uncomfortable and think the spacers make it more comfortable; Was the discomfort in the lower back/leg/butt??

 

That is exactly why I made these, cribbing off of other round spacer designs.

I am comfortable all day long as it is stock. My wife was painfully uncomfortable for even a short ride in town. Plopping in just the 1in spacers makes the seat comfortable for her for long rides.

I've been in the right seat since I installed them and there is a very noticeable difference between the two seats. I just don't need them for myself.

Here's the original thread and discussion:

Also, to test drive it, get some Grade 10.9 M10 x 50mm 1.25 pitch bolts and a stack of washers. Those bolts will allow 1in stacks. M10 x 65mm would allow 1.5in stacks, etc. If you like it, ping @7r41lbr34k3r for some nice, shaped spacers.

 

My discomfort was mainly in my lower back. I bought a few cheap spacers at Lowes until the OP makes more. The difference is night and day. The seating position is much more comfortable now.
