Anyone running seat jackers ?
So I found what seem to be nice seat mounted molle panels, these guys have options for front and rear.
Tacoma & 4Runner - Seat Mount Molle Panel (MMP)
– Desert Does It
I'm interested in mounting one in the back of the passenger seat, so I can access it fairly quickly.
Tacoma & 4Runner - REAR Multi Mount Panel (MMP)
– Desert Does It
Has anyone installed seat jackers? If so how do you like them? I never knew there was a need..

I really do like the idea of the seat jackers. I've considered using them. Really wish I had gotten a non-sunroof model for some extra headroom, but it wasn't an option to get a premium without it when I bought mine. Really really wish Toyota would have made the roof 2" higher!

I'm running them on my driver's seat. Definitely a more comfortable driving position. I have the panel on mine but haven't really used it - I mainly bought it to fill the gap and keep things from rolling back under the seat.
Overall not an expensive mod and one that seems to have been positive.

I'd be curious about these too. Not for my 4R but for my gf's Tacoma. The Tacoma seats sits real low to the floor. Without electronic adjustment it's kind of tough to find a good seating position in the Taco. Leg, height, and arm position just never seem right and I can't get all that comfortable driving it for long periods of time. The 4Runner though with it's 8 way adjustable seat is very comfortable position wise.

I got a set a couple weeks ago and installed them before a 7 hour one way road trip. Definite improvement. I was much more comfortable with better support under my legs. I drove with much less leg fatigue than previously and overall more comfortable.
Install was very easy also.
I didn't order the molle panel however I may now.

Did you do both front and rear or just the fronts?

I recently installed front seat jackers for the driver and passenger seats. Made a huge difference in comfort for us. The 4Runner feels like it has completely different, much better seats now. Only regret is wish I’d found these and done it sooner. Worth every $.

I'm 6'5" tall and the front seat jackers did not affect my seat height or headroom. That was one of my concerns since I have a sunroof. Changing the angle of the front seat bottom for the increased thigh support made all the difference in the world.

I'm not as tall as you guys are (6'1") but I did keep my seat pretty high. The seat jackers enabled me to completely change how the seat was positioned. I was able to lower the seat considerably and raise the front up much more so that it supports my thighs much better. I was also able to change the seat back to be a bit more vertical which supported my back and lumbar much better. It really does feel like a completely new seat as someone said. Shame I didn't have this 7 years ago.

I got the MMP w/o the seat jackers for my 4Runner since I find the seating position already quite good. I did however get the seat jackers and MMP for my girlfriends 2nd gen Tacoma and it made a world of difference. She didn't realize how uncomfortable the riding position was until I installed it for her. I honestly hated driving the Tacoma because of the too low seating position but now its very close to the way my 4R sits.

Just installed on the Driver's seat. Worth every penny; I think the passenger seat would benefit a *lot *more as it does not have any angled support, unlike the driver seat.
Stock was insufficient for me - but I was surprised when I first hopped in that it actually enables way too much leg support (for me). I had to adjust the seat / level out some of the new angle. The sweet spot for me is probably 25% of what the new angle the seat jacker enables. Will help for long road trips.
*Only heads up not in this thread or on Youtube, is that I found some of the (4) plastic covers to be a slight pain to remove. The rears were simple enough (removed inner-> outer) but the front cover, closest to the door, needed to be pulled directly out before it would budge. Took me 2 min of cursing to get it. All four snapped back into place easily.

Any shorties in here have feedback? Most people seem to prefer the front adjustment so that they have more support under the thighs. I’m quite the opposite and think even at the lowest (front part adjustable right under the knee) is too much. Hope that made sense. I would prefer less of an angle on legs.
Since I’m short, my seat height is adjusted quite high and closer towards the front of the vehicle. This makes my legs close to a 90 degree bend and not too comfortable. I’m wondering if purchasing just the rears will help the angles of my legs?
