Seat Jackers: What are they and are they a good Toyota Tacoma mod?

[@vzndrvn]

Honestly, if folks want to be technical about the comfort, the seat jackers raise the angle of the front which allows your hip and butt to be more secure in the seat very similar to bucket seats in a car. I practically drove 5000 miles with them in the past month and I must say my back has never felt better on a long drive! Thanks again Chloe for making these awesome reviews!

[@brucesatow]

I just installed a pair of front seat jackers on my 2019 Off-Road this weekend. At first, I thought it felt strange, but after a few days of commuting back and forth from work, I appreciated the leg support. It feels better under your knees and makes your butt sit in the chairs in a more supportive, cradled position. I asked my daughter who is 4' 11" to sit in the passenger side without telling her what I did, and she said she likes it and instantly remarked about the support under her knees. Overall it's a positive mod for the seats. This was a good recommendation. Thanks Chloe!

[@jiveturkey2875]

Yup. Bought some after seeing Chloe's first video. Great investment. Definitely noticed the ease on the legs.

[@spacebear49]

I've had mine in my 2020 O/R (with power seats) for over 6 months now and they are incredible. I'm about 6'2" and it definitely improves under-leg and thigh support. Doesn't really lift you up higher, and being relatively tall I still have room and even with the sun roof there are no issues.

[@fskrisfx]

I was wondering if they were needed on the 2020! I’m about 6’3 so I might get some too 👍

[@spacebear49]

@@fskrisfx like someone else said, it really depends on your torso height. But it's DEFINITELY more comfortable and supportive.

[@joerota6654]

How's the space between your knees and the steering wheel after doing this?

[@spacebear49]

@@joerota6654 it's close, but I like it that way. The wheel could also be raised up and telescoped in.

[@larryzapotocky1363]

Did you put them on the rear of the seat too?

[@kevinodonnell8353]

Just installed on my 21 trd off road driver side, game changer! Had to order another pair for the passenger side! Such a improvement from stock and super easy to install! Highly recommend this product

[@cancer2900]

I just bought my first Tacoma May 23rd 2021. I didn't know there was such a big world of Tacoma's. I've been learning as much as I can about the Tacoma and found your channel yesterday May 29th. And I've been watching many your videos. They are fantastic! A real pleasure to watch. I don't know how you find the time with a full-time job. It IS amazing. And your energy is contagious!!! Keep it up! You're doing US a great service!!!!!!

Welcome to the family! Hope you enjoy many years with your tacoma

[@ChloeKuo]

Thank you and congrats on the new Tacoma 😊

[@steventruong85]

@@ChloeKuo I plan on getting the front seat jackers but is it necessary to get the rear? I'm 5'8. On long drives my back tend to get sore. The fronts make sense but not sure about the rear.

[@IEFlyingRamper]

I love mine. Had them for several months! I have a 20' TRD-S so it has the power seats. I'm 6ft even and most of that is leg length. I wouldn't have it any other way. Even did the front passenger seat as well. Both have them in the front and I used the max lift seat jacker for the rear on the driver side (1inch) . Minor adjustments, but it made driving Riverside to Phoenix and back comfortable for me. These things are worth their weight and you can see and feel how stout they are in their craftsmanship. Built etc in the Las Vegas area, the customer service is on point. I highly recommend this mod and their products hands down.

[@circularpizzabox2134]

Have had them on both passenger and driver, absolutely love them, purchased after seeing them on your first video, nothing but good things to say about them. Especially the ability to store things under the seats and cleaning under there is much easier now too.

[@TheKingDorito]

I bought and installed this for my ‘18 TRD off road just this week and BOY IT IS NIGHT AND DAY!!! My legs feel great now after a road trip.

[@robertyoung8289]

My seat risers cost me 50k. It did come with a free TRD PRO however.

[@daniellerodriguez5259]

It’s totally worth it!!! Got both front and back seat jackers!!! Love them I’m 5ft tall yes so I could barely see over my dash 🤷🏻‍♀️ after I got a great view and fit comfortably!!!

[@denahom]

I’m 5’1, did you also get the back seat jackers?

[@AlaskanGoldMiner]

I love this mod! I lifted both seats, including the front and 0.75” on the rear. I also added the molle panels to both seats to mount stuff on. I’m relatively short, so this was perfect for me.

[@larryzapotocky1363]

Hi Jim, were you having back pain before you lifted the seats? I was also thinking about lifting the front and rear of the seat. Now that you have had them in your truck for a while, is your opinion still the same? Why did you lift the front and the back? Thanks!

[@shawnphillips4473]

after your 1st video I got them for both of my Tacomas best thing ive done makes driving so much better .

[@ericschaefer5407]

[@stephent.shearin8822]

[@garyking1705]

I believe I have 1 1/4" lift in the front and a 1/2" in the back. Once I landed on the combo I have not looked back. These lifts are outstanding.

That’s for the information. Got to check them out. Great channel for Tacoma mods

[@j1mbOZ31]

Got a set for my 3rd gen. Had them For a few months now and I like them. Did an 8hr road trip from CA to AZ with stops every couple hrs and my back wasn’t totally destroyed so all in all they were worth it for me. My gf didn’t notice them at first but after that trip she saw the benefits. Although Pricey these are high quality CNC pieces of billet metal with high quality hardware to match and made in the USA, not some cast aluminum Crap made in China that will get you killed in a car accident.

[@ChloeKuo]

Agreed! The price is in the quality

[@garyking1705]

DesertDoesIt rocks !

[@andresk1685]

I bought them and I didn't really like them for my Gen 2. I felt like the steering wheel was too low and close to my knees. It also gave me back issues but I heard good things from other people.

[@cosmefulanito408]

I think I'm trying these, one thing I don't like about my truck is the seating position, it feels like a sports car with the seats too close to the floor, which for long trips sucks, they kinda expensive but if they do fix the problem might as well worth it..

[@fringelunatic]

Make sure you have enough room between your legs and the steering wheel. I have about a little over an inch of space. If I installed this my legs would touch the steering wheel. My wheel is tilted to the highest point.

[@chaoticgood3935]

It’s hard to believe such a slight change in seat angle makes such a difference. A bigger, much more amazing difference is the KDMax ECU tune. Do a KDMax Tacoma tune review pls.

[@surfdoggy21]

Just installed these. Make the driving position so much more comfortable! Aloha!

[@kevinc9515]

6:26 correction according to desertdoesit it made from 6061 aluminum not 7075 aluminum.

[@Joel-ew1zm]

Wow I can't believe I never thought of this mod. I have had a 2016 TRD sport for 2 years now and literally my only complaint is that the seats are uncomfortable on long drives. I was thinking about getting padded seat covers or something but this actually makes a lot more sense to adjust the seat angle. Kind of like the nissan titan "Zero Gravity" seats which is just marketing for a more reclined angle to put less pressure on your legs

[@java2888]

They aren't cheap, but best mod for the money in my opinion, especially for 2nd gen taco owners

[@ryoung6725]

Would think lifting both the front and back would offset the purpose, so I decided to only do the back of the seat and love it. My wife on the other hand, before I told her, noticed the difference and hated it. Oh well.

If I have my Toyota Tacoma through the winter I will be getting them In The spring. It does seem to make for a good change.

They are expensive but thinking of the consequences if I go cheap, these things make the difference. The long drives I had when I had drill weekend (500 miles) round trip, same when I drove from Cali to Texas.

[@MikePhumanaut]

I installed them and they helped my legs, but then I started messing with the seat and steering wheel settings around and my body aches each time I drive, so I am still trying to figure out better positions.

I have these and they great and spacers in back. Longer drives make a big difference in comfort. Might do the passenger side. Chloe has some great videos and have done a couple of her mods and no regrets.

The Big 18 wheeler trucks have a setting where you can raise up the front part of the seat. Some people like it and I guess some people don't.

If lifting the front of the seat improves comfort won’t lifting the back of the seat undo that improvement?

I don't have these yet, but I am going to order them very soon for my wife's Tacoma. I have a 4runner trd pro and plan on ordering some seat jackers for it also even though the ergonomics are different in the 4runner, and plus I would like to also be able to mount the air compressor under my seat. I enjoy watching your informative videos and all the different mods and accessories you review. A question for you? have you done any research on the peddle commander? I have watched some other KZbin channels about it and most of the reviews have been positive. Just curious if that is a mod you might review in the future? Thank you for the great reviews on all the accessories you installed and given honest feedback on.

If I only install the front jackers, is there any concern about bending the seat rail in the back when I tighten those back down after installing the fronts? Just didn't want to bend the brackets.

If you rest your arm/elbow on the door that little extra height (lowering your elbow contact point) could be all you needed to alleviate your should pain. For me this is a big factor if I rest my arm on a center console or arm rest that’s a bit too high. 😊✌🏻

Are these even needed if you have the power seats ?

[@RaymondMillbrae]

A few points to ponder on, especially from an engineering point. Even though they come with the equivalent of a Grade-8 bolt…the bolt is only as good as being screwed into the same material. (Steel on steel). In an accident (even on a low RPM accident), the forces generated even by your 100 pound frame would most probably rip the bolt right out of the aluminum. If you climb, you should understand the stresses placed on carabiners even from the smallest falls from the lightest woman. (I boulder, and also lead climb). And if a high grade bolt screwed into aluminum is so safe…then why don’t national safety organizations condone it as safe for car manufacturing and design? As for the seat angle. I am a short guy, same size as yourself. And it seems that raising the front of the seat would place more pressure under my thighs, nearest my knees. Uncomfortable. Personally, I went with a few washers BEHIND the seat, hence raising the rear and leveling-out the seat a bit more. It made it much more comfortable by removing the pressure from behind my knees. But I guess the latter is relative. Anyhoo, be careful about certain mods. This specific one can be super dangerous. And I’m sure you can see it if you look a bit more neutrally, “Cornell Girl”. Keep up the good work. Your videos are awesome, and make me smile. Be safe!!

[@chuyvargas1016]
