01 tacoma... seats too low, any quick fix ideas?

The seats in my tacoma are too low.

You say that now, but how many times have you been closing a power window just as you kill the engine, and it stops? It's annoying as hell, because most times it will go all the way up, but of course there is the odd time where it doesn't, forcing you to turn the key in the opposite direction. You say just one more click, I say a whole 'nother click!?! Yeesh!
Uhh, maybe i should

I dont think it has anything to do with turning one more click. It has to do with everything is powered on with the key in on, drawing more power and powering things that dont need to be powered when just sitting. I too have always disliked that you cant operate the windowns in acc, you can operate the sterero thou

i think that would be the least of your concerns in a wreck bad enough to do that... just make sure to go with grade 8 or better.

The mounts arenot changed, just their relation to the floor. If you use fender washers you will still have the same contact patch, and proper grade metric bolts and you will not have an issue.

They not only raised my old seats up, but they also made 'em feel more comfortable...
