Wow! What a great how to video. Thank you for recommending this video to me. I did not see it earlier. I’m gonna go ahead online and order the necessary parts to make this upgrade. I wish your channel a lot of success! And again, thank you for your help.

After I saw this I started to go ahead and order these spacers before my GX came in. Didn't need them, the 2023 may have changed something but I'm 6'2" and the Lux adjusts perfectly.

I had no idea this was something I needed/wanted being 6'1". Thanks for the video Bob.

I'm only 5ft9 and these made my GX SOOOOO much more comfortable on long trips.

Awesome video Bob, hilarious and thorough. Was a little concerned for your health when you peeled off your 17th t-shirt.

GX Bob you're the man when it comes to the GX mods and issues. I'm 6' tall and 2 weeks after I bought my GX I had buyers remorse because the seats suck! I must adjust it 10x a day to/from work trying to get comfortable and still my legs and back end up numb.

Damn thanks again GX Bob! Just installed one pair on drivers seat and i couldn't believe when i sat in it for the first time. Its day and night difference. Going to install one pair on passenger side as well. Also 3D floor mats hides that spacer gap.

GX Bob.i really enjoying your educating videos and your sense of humor. So funny

GX Bob- thanks for all the videos. Just redid all my brakes today and your videos have been a huge help since i bought the car in april. Modyfying it has been a minefield but your videos have made it all much easier. Thanks!

Very interesting Bob. I'll have to check this out. Haven't noticed any issues yet. But if this makes things more comfortable why not. Thanks for posting.

Bro!!! Just installed mine and wow! Thank you for both the recommendation and video! Keep ‘em coming!

just got mine and added the fire extinguisher mount to it. great product.

thank you // first time viewer and already I’m hooked // coming in at 6’ 4” this sounds like a must // just picked up my new(ish) 2010 GX last week

Bob, my question is if this affects your lower back? I hate the back angle of the seat also. It pushes you forward at your shoulder blades..even with lumbar pushed out and a back cushion (which helps slightly). These are the worst seats. Our LX570 seats are night and day better and not the same angle.

Lexus must have revised the seating because my ‘23 is no problem and I’m 6’2”, but I also sit further back which would drop my thighs down I guess.

ROFL... On the first video I saw on your channel, I thought you were a bit "douchy"... However, I'm now certain I missed your intent on your videos. You had my attention and provided some great laughs and guidance as well. Thank you.

Awesome Bob, thanks! Ordering these now!

I personally think some sort of memory foam seat bottom cushion would do the job and maybe be a simpler solution. Seat comfort is something the car manufacturers should spend more time on. I know from experience that French cars have the most comfortable seats. I fondly remember my mom’s Peugeot 505 back in the early eighties and it had by far the most comfortable seats I ever sat it. Soft yet firm and no hard spots.

Couldn't stop laughing at 2:34 - "Go to your local church ..." Too funny. Great video.

Bob, I'm 6'7" tall. 38" leg inseam. I feel your tall man pain. Wasn't aware of this product so thanks. Also I removed my driver's seat and changed the location of the anchor points for the seat bracket where it attaches to the seat adjustment jack screw. By changing the anchor point I got another 1 1/2" of seat adjustment. If you remove the seat and examine how the back and forth adjustments work it's intuitive how changing the anchor points gives you more legroom. Your always looking for ideas on how to make your GX better so thought I would share with you. I can't thank you enough for your videos. Now please run for president and make a video on reducing gas prices, fix supply chain issues and inflation. Your the man.

I’m 6’4 and I got my GX 460 on 7/22/23 and it took my drive from Bakersfield to Los Angeles to realize just how needed this mod is. Good looking out.

thank you for sharing, Bob! great vid as always!

I think sliding something under your thighs would do the trick for longer trips. Doing this mod will definitely increase seat wear.

Bob - timely video and thanks for sharing. Recently purchased a BMW with uncomfortable seats (too firm on longer trips) and was considering switching to a GX. Sounds like the GX (and I've read on forums and Facebook groups) has it's own set of seat problems. Will definitely need to take an extended test to be sure I don't exchange one set of problems for another, but sounds like this is a good solution. Joe

You had me laughing like an idiot at work … so many layers! 🤣 I thought it would never end!

Good investment for any 4Runner, FJ, GX or Taco owner.

I might have to pick up a set!

This mod is unnecessary and a waste of money. You can get the exact same result by just always driving uphill.

Next you should be looking for extend my seat for more leg room produt. What is ExtendMySeat? ExtendMySeat is a revolutionary automotive product that gives drivers an additional 3-6 inches of legroom. This is especially convenient for tall drivers who are often cramped with the typical amount of legroom in their vehicles.

I subscribed at EXACTLY 2:51 time stamp. 😂 😎👍

Oh, I thought this was about the GX460. Apparently it's about the importance of wearing layers of clothes and how to peel them off the proper way, one at a time !

I've seen this product and wondered if it actually works. I'm 6' tall and my lower back is killing me after and hour of driving, and I'm constantly adjusting the seat. I don't understand the difference between raising the front of the seat with the power adjust and installing a spacer which also raises the front of the seat.

Anyone try these in the 2nd row seats? Wonder if they interfere with folding down the seats etc. Thx

If it makes a difference, ill try it. Next project is your stealth light bar and thinking about auto start.

So i also researched this a while ago for another vehicle and have mixed feelings. Common sense seems to suggest you want to lower your knees, not raise them. Obviously if you raised them to the steering wheel, you'd be sitting in a v position that would pinch you ridiculously. If you lower your knees 90 degrees to your back, then you're sitting a perfect 90 degrees like a herman miller chair or an old school wooden chair at the dinner table... On the other hand, if you are stuck with the knees at an angle due to seat ergonomics and there is no support under the thigh, then I guess this makes sense...?

Kool product

Aye GX Bob, How's it hanging. I just came on this video to ask a question about these seat risers again. I ordered these off Amazon off of your link about 3 weeks ago. I finally got some time this weekend to install and do some others things to the GX. I was actually just questioning whether or not I should actually install these or just return them and get the $100ish back?? I bought them mainly because I had about 4-5 days of sciatica pain and I assumed it was from the Gx seat. I don't know if it was though. I'm not dealing with that pain any more at all. I also drove it to Chicago over Memorial Day because I had an appt with Ahmad at "The Toyota Care Nut's Shop. I'm in Lake St. Louis MO and it's almost 5 hours there and 5 hours back. Then I was at his shop for an hour or so for my appt and the gas station stops here an there added up to me spending roughly 12 hours in the GX for the first time since I bought it last February. I actually had no back or sciatica pain though from the seat driving oddly enough. I'm 6ft tall about 160lbs. If I install this is it only going to help do you think? Do you still have your's installed and or do you just leave them installed all the time even for daily driving? I'm curious to know your opinion on them for the longer term. The Toyota Car Care Nut said the GX I got at 97k looked great. All the things that the Local Mercedes Dealership did to the vehicle before listing it for sale and all the things that I payed my local Lexus Dealership to do were all actually done and done correctly etc etc. He said that the Base "Base" model like I have is the best one to get for long term reliability reasons which is great news because although in great shape mine had almost 100k on it when I bought it ya know. Mine does not have a Sport or comfort mode, AVS or the Air Suspension in the rear. In his opinion he thinks they will be the most sought after models in the future because of the extra reliability they have over most. He said he hasn't even seen that many true base model GX460's in the last 20 years. The only thing that is starting to go bad on my GX and alot around a 100k miles right now is the bushings in the KDSS and he unfortunately could not fix it.......He does not have the specialty tool you need to correctly to service the KDSS even though he ordered it almost a year ago. He said he has several GX's already scheduled to have it done when he gets the tool. It's a specialty tool that can pressurize and de-pressurize the hydraulic bushings. Supposedly the tool is on backorder and most of them are falling apart because of their age. He said some of the shops and even dealerships will tell people and charge them to service the KDSS when they can't. He said there is a half ass way you can do it with the tool broken or something like that but you don't want that he said. It's something to look into if you plan on keeping your GX a long time. I know you live on the west coast and probably have a bigger selection of dealers and shops than we do where I live. I do trust Spirit Lexus in St. Louis where I bring my GX though so I will be giving them a call this week to see if they have a proper working tool to properly and correctly service this system. The only place in the midwest where I am at the can "forsure" service it is a specialty shop in Minneapolis, MN apparently. It's a 7-8 drive but me and my girlfriend actually love that city at least in the winter when we went. I may have to make a trip out of it. We love Chicago too and they have some of the best retail shopping in the entire midwest. When I recently went up there though she didn't go with because it was just for that appt. It's not even located downtown and is about a half hour south of. He test drove my GX for about 20 minutes and then he had me look under the truck with him for about 40 minutes so I was only there a little over an hour then I headed back home.

Bob I am waiting for a 2022 because of the updated infotainment screen and Apple CarPlay. I have a friend at a dealership who’s waiting until March to order the one we want at a better price. We’re in no rush, the lease on my Armada does t run out tu tul 7/23. I think I’ll replace the Armada with the new LX 600 fSport model in black of course….LOL

Have you taken any long trips since the install? Would love an update regarding the effectiveness of this product.

Love your video bob will these risers fit the 2022 lexus GX 460??

Sciatica sufferer checking in

I think your knees still look too high in relation to your waist. Getting them lower might help you out some.

GeexBob just sold me another product. :)

Dude, you shouldn’t need a breaker bar with YOUR cannons!

OMG BOB you are a riot

Hey GX*BOB do you think the new 2022 model dash/screen will fit on the 2014/2020? Love the Chanel! Thx

I'm about 5'11 and the driver seat is seriously uncomfortable, this is the major factor for me not to buy the gx.

Wow, nice

So Bob, how would rate these? Has it made a difference in comfort? Thanks-Mike

Did you raise only front side of the seat? Don't you need to raise all 4 spots of the seat?

Hey have you thought of serpentine belt?

😘👍

Bob how tall are you? I don't recall you mentioning it in the video.

#amen! - 2:40

Unfortunately, this type of mod creates a safety risk. The manufacturer designs the seat height with the SRS system and crash protection in mind. It may not seem like a small adjustment can cause a problem, but it can. In addition, insurance could be a problem in an accident.

👍

I'm curious how "tall" you are. You don't look more than about 5'9'' here on the KZfaq.

Good idea BOB . Alli Express got it for 15$

6'5" is tall, 5'10"...not so much. Good video
