What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Added a set of the normal size Rokblokz and removed the oem running boards.

 

Modest 3" lift and new sliders installed.



The sliders are easily the cleanest part of the truck.

 

6yrs in the making brother. Lol
Slowly saved & stayed patient

 

that's a sharp looking truck you have

 

Just from my own experience I can tell my lower back and my legs in general arent as tired/restless/uncomfortable as they were. My wife who's a passenger princess hasnt commented on any difference. I suppose it's different when you drive vs just sitting down

 

Absolutely……..a must if you don’t have a power seat……….
Makes more difference the longer the trip…….

put in front if you’re shorter……..put in back if taller……

had them on my 2010, have electric seat in my 2021.

 

Much appreciated!

 

Not sure about the purpose of lifting the front but the back levels the seat and it feels a little more comfortable on the back of my legs when I do my very long drives from Toronto to Florida to Toronto to Florida to Toronto..

 

I think the logic is it lets you bend your legs. I’ve really been debating adding some, I’m fairly tall (for a midsize truck) and even on shorter trips I can keep my legs getting slightly uncomfortable.

 

I'm 5'9 so this adjustment works for me I say if you're any taller you should get the tundra because my friend who is 6 ft always bangs his head when he gets into the passenger seat.. this is a truck for smaller folks. Mid-size truck, midsize folks.

 

It all depends on how long ones legs are. It seems that people that are 5'10" or taller get some strain relief when the front of the seat is elevated. For those 5'8" like myself and shorter, we get relief by elevating the rear of the seat.

 

I had looked at the tundras but couldn’t find one for the right price. I’m 6’3 so really regardless of what I’m in, it can be tight lol.

 

It looks more like a MISC Freelancer though, than a Drake

 

I fabbed a dog platform. Can also be used for tossing my rather large lunchbox on for work, groceries, or a quick nap if the mood strikes. Haven’t finished glueing down the carpet, but you get the idea.

 

Thanks to all for the back-and-forth about the seat jackers. My driver's seat is electric and I'm pretty comfortable (5'11"), but the wife immediately commented on some discomfort as a passenger on a recent two-hour trip. She's about 5'9" and thinks raising the back would help.

We were spoiled by our Tundras. Our last one was a 2nd Gen Ltd with leather and she really liked it, said it felt like riding on a Lazy Boy. I'm probably going to add Clazzio seat covers, but I'll need to sort out the angles to make it a little more comfy for her.

Thanks again for the feedback!

 

Gonna do the same for my better half. Is there an original seat jacker manufacturer? Don’t want to support knock offs.

 

@5nahalf Have you seen this fishing pole mod?

Same issue, still worth it though. I went with the smallest shim on the back of the seat if anyone else is wondering. I tried it without the rear shim and the seating angle wasn't comfortable for me. The other shim sizes were too just too much imo.

 

I’m going to add lift to the BACK of the passenger seat in my 2021……have an electric seat on drivers side………my wife is 5’7.

wish I could remember how to contact the retired guy in Florida who made a really nice kit (machined rounded lift you added, with the bolt and everything) that got really popular on 2nd gens……..I ordered those for my 2010…..

If somebody out there in TW land knows, please post the link/info please

 

Went for a shakedown run and blew the Tundra rack

 

Bummer! What's the plans for replacement? Another Tundra rack?
