I'm glad I found this video. I'm 6' 2" wear 36" inseam and my JLUR gives me pain in my right butt cheek after several hours of driving. I don't know if that is a sciatic nerve or not but I will try this device out.
I hate it has been this long since replying to you. I apologize for that.. I hope you pulled the trigger on it!! I'd be very curious to hear your results?
@@aMAYSingLife Yes I've had them for about 2 months now but haven't driven for long distances yet, so really don't know if it helped. I chose the shorter .75" based on reviews of others where hitting their heads on the top sound bar when using the taller version. My head still hit with the short version, with the seat in my normal position all the way back. I just moved it up one notch and it's fine.
I'm sold, saw that your code had expired, but managed to find the code "sincity10" and that one still takes 10% off. Can't wait to get them now! Great video!
I purchased these a few months ago for my 2019 JLU and am amazed at the difference in comfort. I'm 6'7" with a 37" inseam and now have plenty of thigh support when driving my Jeep.
Just finished installing and test driving the seat jackets in my 2021 Gladiator Mojave. I am y6’2”+ and regularly travel from Virginia to northern Michigan. Support under the legs on those longer trips makes all the difference and I can’t wait for the next trip-the jackers make the seating position MUCH better! I use the fixed seat version giving over an inch of lift to the front and now the Jeep has seats I can be in all day and not torture my knees, hip and back. This is a great product, easy to install and reasonably priced and best of all made in the USA.
Man, that’s what I like to hear! That’s what I walked away with as well! I have 52k on mine and a lot of that is burning Highway to get west, so grateful for the jackers..
Thanks for posting this video. I've seen this concept, but your video, including the description from the vendor at Overland Expo, really sealed the deal for me. I have a new-to-me 2014 JK and I'm 6'-7". I thought the Big Boy seat brackets would do the trick, and they definitely help give me 2" of more leg room so my knee is no longer buried in the dash, but I still need some sort of support for my right leg. There is nothing to lean against other than the transfer case lever, and that definitely not comfortable on longer drives. The stock seat cushion bottom just offers no thigh support at all for tall guys. I was thinking of spending big money on new seats, but $90 on a fix? Oh yeah, that's my jam for sure. Parts are on the way!
It was a game changer for me.. I had a 2011 rubicon that I took the seat out and bore new holes and shifted the whole thing back but it was still never as comfortable as what this cheap fix did to lift my leg.. I was having sciatic nerve pain down my right leg. I now have 90k on my jeep (it’s a 2020) and I never think twice about taking off on long rides.. you won’t be disappointed
Just discovered your channel yesterday. Great content! I just ordered 2 sets of these for our Jeeps. Plus I ordered a set of sides stashers for my wife’s JLU! You are an expensive channel for me! 🤣
We just installed our seat jackers on our Gladiator and JLU. Some lessons learned, and very creative swearing, with the Gladiator resulted in a smoooooth install on the JLU! I’m 6’3” and my wife is 5’5” and we both really like the upgrade! Desert Does It customer service is phenomenal. I cross threaded a block because I’m an idiot, and they helped us out big time!!
didn't even know they made rear ones. the goal is to increase the angle so leaving the rear as they are and lifting the front creates that lift that your legs need for support. didn't affect negatively the rear at all.
@aMAYSingLife I understand the premise behind it. I was just curious if you change the angle will you need to modify the rear to stay flat to the mounting surface, since you are changing the mounting angle of the rear
I was starting to get the beginning stages of groin issues so I put in an order for this… I been noticing my leg isnt making contact with the bottom of the seat and j been holding it upright on long rides… In my car i rested my legs on the center console. With the Jeep the console is too low and i have nothing to rest my leg against besides my 4x4 Shifter… Willing to write a big review after this pain goes away…
@@aMAYSingLife I deliberately saved the email so I can keep you posted. Its as if someone clicked my nuts after each ride…. Theres nothing to rest your right knee on… Causing a possible full blown hernia… lol
You still need to get out and do squats and stretch to keep blood flowing however I can say as I have done numerous trips across the country that it does help keep blood flowing by not cutting off blood flow.. by raising the front of the seat it supports your thighs taking pressure off.. it should help a lot!
@@aMAYSingLife I do, it's because of Injuries I received long ago. sadly, Squats are out now. Drink lots a water no sweet drink. and Keep my Mustard and pickle juice on hand. pretty much instance relief for the cramps. And So very Grateful that I can do what i can do amen. I Love exploring funny was talking about a trip with my Husband a weekend camp in the snow how wonderful it was even tough we got stuck unstuck lost his ring found it on the hitch. We too, are looking forward to more adventures. who knows maybe next weekend to try out new gear see out it will work with old gear. Have a blessed weekend.
@@jeannedosterwise8460 no idea if you are interested but my wife and I have done natural health business for about 11 years now.. I have a couple products that would likely help if you are interested. No pressure just PM us on IG if you would like to know more. If not, certainly no worries, I hope you continue to enjoy the videos… thanks for watching!
Do you feel less slide’y?? I constantly feel like I’m having to push myself backwards into the seat. Plus his might help bf who’s 6’8(I have a jku w/heated seat)
YES!! That's a very good way to put that.. I feel as though I am more in a bucket seat now than before. Its 1000% more comfortable than before. I have almost 80k miles on this jeep now which is a lot of miles since late 2020. Never could have done it without those jackers. The code is active again btw, so if you go with them, use the code in the description. I reached out to them and they renewed it. Thanks for watching!
For me it threw my back so I didn’t get closer to the roof but I sit pretty back unless off road. It really shouldn’t change that because the rear stays where it is so it should just be your legs that move
It helps but depending might not eliminate that issue.. on long drives I still get some tailbone pain but it’s now after 500+ mile days… so by supporting the legs less weight is on the tailbone that is for sure.. but I can say that really long drives I still wish the seat had more cushion..
I just bought a 17 Sahara 2 days ago and am getting buyers remorse as I have back issues, previously owned a 12 jk and 16 jku with no pain. Now I’m a a bit older (47) and maybe age is catching up haha. I’m feeling it in both legs and lower back as well as my left side upper back. I’m hoping this helps. I’m 6’4” with a 36” inseam. I just left a place in my town and made an appt to have lumbar installed @ $499. If I can spend $89 it’ll be a home run. Anyone know what to do about the upper back or will this help that too?
in my opinion it will. i'm not 6'4 and my inseam is only 34 but shifting the weight partially to your legs and raising the legs did seem to help my lower back and as such changes the position of your upper back. one thing i did on my 2011 rubicon was take the seat out and i bore new holes that allowed me to move the whole seat back about 1.5". with your height, doing that PLUS the seat jackers you may find is a game changer. I have had enough chiropratic work to know that when one part is off, the rest of the body attempts to compensate for it and in doing so causes other long term issues that take time to show up. so correct your foundation and the upper may correct itself.
Yes they absolutely offer for the gladiator… I mistakenly thought you were commenting on a different video… check out their site… it will change your comfort for sure..
I would suspect if the seats attach to the floor similar to how The jeep does it should work. Best to contact desertdoesit and see which option would work best..

Im curious if you only purchase the front jackers and not the rear, how does that affect the rails ?
didn't even know they made rear ones. the goal is to increase the angle so leaving the rear as they are and lifting the front creates that lift that your legs need for support. didn't affect negatively the rear at all.

@@bh069me1 nah, easy install and I did it on an overlanding trip.. easy peasy.. best thing I did for comfort
Man great product find!
It’s my favorite addition to the jeep… I was dying by the time I got to Oregon.. was so happy to have those - what a difference once I got them on.
Can you just use washers?
i would at least weld them together.. because the shift is over an inch in height. probably like 1.25 or so..
It appears that the "Coupon Code" is not working once again. Any luck on having it re-activated?
I can check.. they have renewed it a few times for me… they may be running a code for 4th of July though

How does this effect head room? My head is already dangerously close to the speaker bar.

Where do I enter the coupon code? I don’t see a section for that
when you proceed to check out you can enter the discount code on the right.. sorry for the delay, I was out at a moto rally! Enjoy your jackers!!

oh and your not old!! i'm almost 51 lol!
The seat is too damn narrow in length for us tall folks. Hopefully in the next gen the seat is longer!
Yeah only so much space to work with so they tend to mess up the seat to fit it all in!
As of October 4 your code doesn’t work
They said it has been extended! Let me know if it is fixed now! Hopefully so

How about an FJ40? 1975. LOTS of headroom, but flat seats…
I would suspect if the seats attach to the floor similar to how The jeep does it should work. Best to contact desertdoesit and see which option would work best..
Wranglers have the worst ergonomics of any vehicle I ever sit on!
It’s so true.. I think the JLU is better than the JKU but not by much
Yay!
They would sell more if they didn't gouge on the price so much. Can't be that much work and material.
Of course it’s not.. there are taxes, advertising, marketing, design, insurance, copyright protection, Employee costs, healthcare, probably additional taxes…
They’re trying to run an ethical company, I’ll pay more for that
