I installed mine as well this weekend. I'm not as tall so for me the elevated leg position is great so far, and the convenient mount for the fire extinguisher was a bonus. There is now a little storage "cubby" under the seat, need to find the right stuff to put under there. Quality of the product is outstanding, big thanks to @DesertDoesIt for making a 100 series-specific version.

That is a nice compact fire extinguisher. I'm thinking about ordering the newer 100 series model just to get the storage bracket.
Yes, that's an Element fire suppressant system, this is my second after using the first one (successfully) on a tractor fire at my friend's ranch. One-time use but compact, easy to carry and use. The bracket provides a very convenient place to mount it.

It looks great. Which front multi-mount panel did you order? My existing jackers do have mounting holes like yours.
I want to say @DesertDoesIt knocked it out of the park for some of us UZJ owners!
I am 6'4" @220. I am usually okay but WOW after putting the base set on the pass side and jumping in I was amazed! I literally said to myself out loud "This is the way it should have come from the factory!"
So tickled to have both sides done. Maybe down the road I'll add the trim panel to the pass side. I have it installed on the drivers side and need to put my little extinguisher on it. I was also surprised I could re-install the factory covers. Please disregard my carpet. Isn't the cleanest... I am 2nd owner and got this one with 400K plus miles on it.
I also drive a 2nd Gen Tacoma but the 2nd Gen seats don't hale the FLAT feel like the 3rd Gen Tacoma trucks do. I used to read about the Seat Jackers on TW and was like what';s the big deal. Then I had a chance to drive one of our work trucks in the fleet (2017 DCSB SR5 4x4) and YEAH the seat angle STINKS!
So needless to say, I am getting a couple sets for my Tacoma now.
BTW the packaging and instructions are SO professional and boss it was a pleasant surprise!
I rarely put "Fluff" on my keychains but you guys have earned this and it's going to stay on my YotaMD key modded key!

Can these be sent to Australia?

Thank you for the great review! We are honored that our key chain made it to your main set of keys. Looks like you have more room under your seat for a bigger inverter or amp.
Absolutely. I don't know if the Australian LC100s are the same but I don't see why it would be different. Our Seat Jackers and MMP are compatible with both the passenger and driver seats.
Performance update: I drove from Austin, TX to east Houston, TX and back on Saturday and then did it again on Sunday, putting 700+ miles behind the wheel (soccer dad, I'm sure some of you can relate). The seat jackers were a total game changer for me, I did not have any cramping of the hamstrings (a common occurrence prior) and really enjoyed the seat position. Thrilled with this purchase so far.
Found it for my LX:
FRONT SEAT JACKERS® (1998-2007 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 100)
If you are struggling to find that comfortable seating position during your commute or road trip, you might be suffering from a lack of leg support. The patented front Seat Jackers will lift the front of your driver or passenger seat to provide that much-needed leg support without significantly...

Seat Jackers and MMPs for the LC100/LX470 are back in stock. Sorry for the delay in restocking.

Absolutely LOVE my Seat Jackers!
Got mine in main on Saturday. Thanks @DesertDoesIt for super quick shipping!
I am happy to say these solved the last complaint I had with LX seats! I had always found the lower thigh support lacking on these seats (my other rides are BMWs with extendable thigh support that works great!). I installed new seat foam and leather in hopes of rectifying it, but it didn't really make a big difference. Since I am only 5-9" and mostly torso, I didn't think a seat jacker would be the answer.
Boy, am I glad I tried these!!
They installed easy and I could immediately tell the great difference they made in comfort! I haven't put a ton of miles on with this new setup but I loved the few short rides so far! I was worried that it will raise my legs too far up making rub on the steering wheel, but that wasn't an issue at all!
Great little upgrade!

These have provided more comfort for those long drives!
I don’t remember if I’ve posted anywhere but I’ve had these in all year and they are a definite improvement. I also bought foam as there was a slight lean to my seat from the PO.
I truly think an adapter to extend the seating cushion would be the best option for those of us with longer femurs. I’m only 5’11 and with a bad back, it could be painful before and is less so now. A longer seat bottom would be amazing
Agreed. Im 6'2". The lack of thigh support is my issue. I think I have been compensating by holding my leg at odd angles. Scheel seats almost certainly have longer seat bottoms with more leg support.
My sports cars have always had extendible front cushions. It’s was/is great whether physical sliding cushions or air bladders.
Is there a market for someone to create this product? For years I’ve been tinkering with design thoughts. I’m also interested in buying a Cnc mill and projects like this could become a reality for me to play with. Is it about extending the current cushion with an aftermarket option or is it about creating a device that attaches and has extra cushion. I think the seat jacker idea is amazing, what can we do for the actual seat?
