Dirt Daily. Pond Scum gets Seat Jackers

As much as I love my Toyota 4Runner its not exactly comfortable on long drives. So Im trying out so Seat Jackers from Desert Does It. desertdoesit.com These raise the front of your seat to give you a more ergo seating position. And are super simple to install.

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

I just like watching Fred, I don't care what he's doing🍻🍻

[@Fparrish]

I agree ☝🏼

[@foygill711]

Just put a two inch lift in my TJ seats . Best modification ever .

[@TheSimpleGamer42]

Best ending ever.

[@zacharyedgar5238]

1000% the best upgrade for the Tacoma. So much more comfortable

[@21jimmyo]

I have these on my Tacoma. They do make a difference.

[@DavidJWatson16]

Even if you don't put anything on them those brackets look useful just for keeping crap from rolling under the seat

[@jl.520]

I got those as soon as I got home from a long road trip. So much better!!

[@hanserikharper616]

Ordered, thought I was the only one that wanted the seat tilted just a bit for comfort. Keep being awesome Fred

[@jameshall4385]

It is such a simple product but it looks extremely well designed and thought out. Fortunately my k5 blazer seats are comfortable but i like the molle strapping idea

[@spencertsmith6872]

simple products like this are just worth the buy, such a clean look and fast instillation.

[@michaelkahut]

My new Wrangler JL seats were way too flat for my liking and I suffered the same symptoms as you , Fred. I installed the Desert Does It seat jackers under both front seats and they have worked wonders improving my seating comfort. Great product! Love your content. Keep it coming!

[@Skitter302]

First time I saw this kind of product was for a Jeep rear seat. Since then I've put spacers under a bunch of my seats to tip them back.

[@BadassBrunette]

Sharing sweet and simple products is what its all about.🤘🏻 (Thanks for the shouout!)

[@philip4x4guy]

I made similar for my samurai, made a world of difference, I raised the rear 1"ish and the front 2.5"ish

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

So Simple So Cool! Well done Fred!

[@sas86toy]

Installing my RCLT right now🤘🏼

[@doctorno988]

A lot of people complain about the seating position in late model 4Runners and Tacomas, I've driven both and while I don't find it uncomfortable, tilting the seat back like that would definitely be an improvement. The 2nd-gen Colorado/Canyon has way more legroom for people over 6ft tall.

[@Handle4477]

Cool part didn’t think there was such a thing thanks for a simple fix now my legs could feel better on them traffic jams🤘

[@ecorey45]

Desert does it makes great stuff I have their molle panels that mount to the front seat mounts in my silverado and I also have one of their billet fire extinguisher mounts too that's mounted in my toolbox

[@davidbeattie4294]

I used a stack of washers under the front seat bolts on my 79 Mustang to make those terrible seats a little less painful.

[@dirtbikechopper2012]

Fred, I love what you do, keep it going forever !!!! If you ever want to sell Pond Scum let me know, I'd be interested in buying it. I'm "in between " 4x4s at the moment.

[@jesseshelby4383]

I love how every time Fred trys to say BOLT he says BOLD 😂

[@Misterfairweather]

This is awesome, I pulled my Toyota seats out of my old Toyota pickup because they were so uncomfortable and tossed a set of seats out of a Chevy equinox in their place.

[@jkusrbetter9519]

They make similar risers for the back seat of JKs. Spend more then an hour in the back seat of one, you'll be in pain also. A few degrees up or down of seat position makes all the difference.

[@e.s.bryant765]

thanks for the new video!!!

[@MalarkeyTaylor]

"whatever Dave" - Fred LOL

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

My 2001 4Runner does this to me, I figured it was because I was 6'2 and it was just cramped. Both my Runner and Tacoma might be getting these.

[@4wdtennessee459]

Man you are turning your seat into a Carolina squatter lol. But I feel you on what you are saying those low riding seats are uncomfortable as all can be. My knees have to be bent to be comfortable while driving.

[@jasongibbens4309]

I have the same problem with my Tacoma I will be buying those thanks

[@fredfrodesen1740]

When I was in the market for a used 4X4 pickup, I test drove a Tacoma and a Ford Ranger. The Ranger won because of the uncomfortable seats in the Tacoma. I probably would have bought the Tacoma if I had known about this fix.

[@JamesTLangford]

on my xterra it was the same way i found better pathfinder and found out the seats sat higher which is great but you have to duck down when you get in now

[@omarmirza3713]

my dad has a 19 tacoma and had the opposite problem. I put spacers on the back and left the front stock.

[@frankfilippone9679]

That's what I was thinking, I'm 5'6 I don't think this is a good idea but like you said, the opposite sounds like the right idea

[@73Shovelhead68]

I’ll be ordering some of those for my 4 runner. I hate that the seat sits so low in the front.

[@aajordan1]

Thanks for posting Fred! Do you have a good harness solution for the 4runner with stock seats?

[@CrispyRounds]

At 6'5", I will be patiently waiting for your review. I can get about 2 hours before my legs and back really bother me.

[@adammcclendon431]

Please do a follow up if this helps your legs :)

[@eggdashure]

Fred must've broken those bolts loose of camera. At least on my JK, they were so tight I had to use a breaker bar for most of the bolt length. 😳

[@4xhoser]

Awesome vid Fred! Do you know if it works with electric seats? Love the pond scum!!👌🤘🤘🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@dainwilson4523]

I have heard that lots of people have the same experience driving their toyota trucks distance

[@stevencarter7999]

Have you had an opportunity to see if these helped at all.

[@arcdestriumph586]

I'm interested in a Breakfast Jack and a Jumbo Jack.. with curly fries... If we're talkiin Jacks.

[@chrisclinard1907]

If they would have had theses 12 years ago I probably would be driving a 4Runner instead of my JK. I test drove a 4Runner back then and found the seats to be uncomfortable for this same reason, felt like my legs where straight out.

[@georgef1176]

Fred how is that full time 4wd system the v8s got? Or did you change the transfer case? I have yet too see the episodes you did with pondscumb

[@SurdykeTransport]

Have you road trip’d in an 80 series yet?

[@darylarmentrout252]

Get a seat out an 18-Wheeler with an airbag adjustment 😎

[@pigasus_1]

Hope it helps

[@littlejimmy2164]

I wasn't going to buy a 4runner solely because it killed my knees. I may reconsider now

[@TargaWheels]

Back when I had my '68 elcamino, the problem I had was the seat bottom angled back too much, which forced me to tilt my head slightly forward. Within half an hour I had a throbbing headache and my lower back hurt. I put washers under the rear part of the seat brackets, and that solved it. This was over 20 years ago. You don't need to buy anything. Just washers and longer bolts.

[@BBossman1]

BATMAN!

[@ummduhgmail]

I can’t believe you paid for this. That’s something you make out of whatever scrap you have laying around. And I have no idea why I watched a 13 minute video about seat spacers. I might be ready to be a Toyota fabricator now?

[@xozindustries7451]

In The Toyota I just test drove I felt like I was sitting on the floor with my legs straight out, not sure who drives like that

[@donhappel9566]

Never did understand the whole 'sit on the floor' toyota thing. Apparently I'm not alone.

[@TonysTech]

Why not just put some limited seats in? More comfortable and even heated too.

[@steveaguinaga3821]

@8:05 😆.. Batmans all wtf????

[@fatguyonthc]

Hate to say it but it looks like this could be a you problem. You’re getting older, you’ve got a couple issues with your posture. Happens to everyone to some degree as we age. KneesOverToesGuy can help 👍

[@ryanroberts1104]

You're telling me Toyota has been making cars all this time and they still haven't figured out seats?!

[@joshuazientara4452]

Mmmmmm... Cheese.......

[@frankfilippone9679]

I don't get why you would want just the front of the seat jacked up? My first gen tacoma I would like to jack the whole seat a little, seats already aren't very comfortable, if I raised the front up only, that would suck! I'd feel like a taco 🌮 in my taco, I'd like a couple inches if anything in the back of the seat, I'm only 5'6 , maybe it's a tall person thing? But definitely a weird idea for short people, it would put your legs further away from the pedals, don't think this would work for my short ass?

[@brianlorenz9632]

are you kidding. these this are $200 for both seats just for the mounts! they sure are proud of those. also they are just aluminum. not sure how they will hold up in an accident. possible insurance issues as i think you’re not supposed to mess with how seats mount. if they see the seat failed and its been modified thats on you.

[@rickysoffroadrecovery]

Your legs are killing you on long trips because you're getting old mine do that all the time and I'm a truck driver
