    I've had a light in sight for years in my MINI S.. If I didn't you'd never see a light if you are first in line. Easily the best $20 mod...

    Is it just me, or all Toyota seat as flat as Kansas? No leg support at all...

    Wow. I kinda wish I hated my seats, but they work for me. That's beautiful work.

    Definitely fits better. I had similar problems to you. Way more happy now.

    You'll have to report back after a month or two. I wonder if having your legs so straight with the floor will affect your comfort, for long or short trips.

    I've been driving it daily for 2 weeks now. No issues to report at this point. I don't use this vehicle for long trips though. At most, an hour at a time.

    Considering the older yota trucks sat low like this and were quite comfortable, this should work great. I like it :)

    Hey, well done, and great job for not getting discouraged by the idiots! The orange isn't really my style, but I'm pretty excited that you went through with the seat modifications. I think I'm going to try to find someone in Raleigh that can do this work.

    Thanks! The orange isn't for everyone. I still debate about it on a daily basis... but this is my forever-truck and it might as well be a reflection of me. :)

    It'll tie in better once I've had a chance to paint the exterior with some orange pinstriping. I can't wait for that.

    Take your time trying to find the right place. It took me about two weeks to find someone I wanted to trust with this.
