What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Yup, it was like a new truck.

 

Installed my seat jackers today before work. Wow what a difference. Should have added them when I first got the truck. Is crazy how much more comfortable the seat is.

So, for anyone new looking to mod- These two mods are probably the BEST for the cost for a street driven truck. And some of the cheapest mods at around $300 to do both of them! Desert does it seat jackers and TRD rear sway bar

 

wow crazy

 

can you explain how different from leaning seat back with controls?

 

Greater range of motion than the built-in adjustment allows.

That said…I didn’t like them and sent them back. I run my front seat edge lowered so I guess I should’ve predicted this outcome.

 

Do seat jackers lower your payload?

 

No, but they do rob you of horsepower.

 

More than 10?

 

You can always add a knock off TRD shifter to offset your -10 HP loss. The OEM TRD shifter is +15 if you find it worth the extra $$.

 

(I hope)
Hopefully insurance gets you while again. Depending on the amount of damage, look into a “diminished value” claim as well.

 

Actually yesterday, but swapped out my BD S2 pros for squadron pro’s.. much better! S8 bar next in the hood bulge!

 

Awesome. I’ll be running the same setup whenever the lights get to me.

 

Did you go white or amber for the S8?

 

Looks good man!

 

both

 

I run my seat all the way back and all the way down in the rear of the butt and up all the way on the thigh (front) of the seat.

here is a direct comparison of the seat in the same position but With the added seat jackers. Take a look at the plastic trim on the driver seat and you can see the difference. They rock the seat back giving you a more cradled seating position. Significant improvement in comfort

 

what dreams are made of!! Can’t wait to see it installed!

 

90% recovered from COVID (yes vaccinated) which Santa brought me! Finally felt good enough to tackle some projects!

My son busted out his drone practicing for some future trips!

 

Never thought about doing that with the S8. I like the idea. Mine will be full amber to start. Might have to switch some to clear if I feel it needs it.

Can’t wait to see pictures of your rig when you finish!

 

The S8 install in the bulge is a pain in the rear. I had to experiment with mine quite a bit. I installed mine as far back as I could and reused the screen from the scoop. I did not like the huge gap that was between the bulge and the bar. The corner clips will be interesting as well.

 

@HamHands I used 1/4" steel from HD that I cut, drilled and bent. Then Rhino lined them. Used the T bolts to attach to the bed rail system of the trucks. I used quickfists to attach the tools to the metal brackets i built. Took about an hour total time to build and the fit nicely on the side and do not extend pass the wheel well so full bed useable.

 

Removed them, sanded the chrome, then sprayed the liner. The plastic parts have releases/tabs and come off easily.

 

Oh yeah big difference. Thanks

 

Dang, how do these get broken unless they did it when trying to loosen/adjust for alignment? Never thought about it until your post, but I'm taking a picture of mine before my next alignment!

 

Technically yes they do..

But what's 8oz's amongst friends??

 

I never let the wife drive my trucks. I think her Prius has a giant magnet on the rear as she's been hit 3 times in 5 years!...but it is a Prius and the gas pedal feels like a sponge is connected to the throttle.

Sorry for your troubles and hope a good body shop will make her like new again.

 

Dang,
You win the Best looking Top View Tundra award!...sorry, no cash. Just fame.

 

Sure. My truck has power driver seat so it does have some height adjustment, etc. Problem is that is does not actually tilt back enough so there is not enough support under your legs. Raise and lower the seat and you can easily feel the seat kinds of tilts forward and as you adjust it you can feel the support of the seat leaving your legs. These little spacers raise the front of the seat about an inch and it really makes a huge difference in comfort. You are not perched on the seat, instead you sit back into it will full support of your legs. Amazing difference for 80 bucks.

 

Cool thanks. next on my list

 

I mean this a tough one. They have to manipulate the bolts to align so if they break is it really the shops fault? I asked the question if it was already broken and they said when the tech went to adjust the cam bolt it was just spinning and they immediately brought me the broken part. Even if I could prove it happened when they adjusted the bolt - they have to for the alignment so it likely would have broken no matter who touched it. I certainly didn’t want to pay for it but not sure there is any way to avoid it in this case.
