Tacoma 3rd Gen: I need more headroom.

I am 100% dedicated to lowering the seat, or selling the truck and going without a vehicle until the redesigned Tundras have been out for a year or two. I love driving it. I've already racked up 56,000 miles in it.

 

Surprised no one has asked if OP has test driven the truck before hand...

 

Go to an upholstery shop.... a good one

 

I've thought about selling or trading my way into an '18 Tundra, but it would be cheaper to lower the seat and wait for the redesign.

 

I live in Hell. Where is a good upholstery shop? I'd be willing to travel.

 

It's a couple hundred for the upholster to do it right. Cutting brackets or modifying that way is going to mess with the next guy who owns or affect resale.

 

Go to a nice luxury car dealer and ask who they use, Porsche dealer is a good place to start.

 

Maybe the next person is tall and is looking for something like that modification.

 

Maybe.... just trying to offer sound advice before he tears his hair out to get more clearance.

 

Take the stock seat out and store it, find a lower seat from a junk yard for now. Replace saved stock seat when time to trade or sell.

 

Might want to start a thread in your regional forum asking.

 

I like the feel of the seat, but not the height. But I'll take your advise and make some calls.

 

Not sure if I have seen a Hell in the regional section or I am sure I would be in it

 

That's an idea, but I don't want to lose the seat heater.

 

At least start there and see what they have to say.

 

Just a thought, lots of options out there, Ben Gay on a cold morning

 

I relocated to Kans-ass due to financial reasons. That's why I travel so much, to get away from the stench of brimestone.
