rynoshark Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Will work on getting photos this week. Look forward to what you guys think.
mjeff87 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I swapped the XJ rockers into my MJ, using my old MJ bench floor brackets. I'm only 5'8" (on a good day) so I didn't have any problem with cab height...my head was definitely closer to the top of the cab, though. I liked the extra vision over the hood, too. The problem was the distance from the bottom of the steering wheel to the top of the bottom seat cushion......there wasn't enough room for me to swing my right thigh under the wheel getting in/out. I had to rock the seat the whole way backward to lower the front, then get in/out, and rock it back for a proper driving position. More often then not, I forgot and cranked my leg off of the steering wheel. Ouch.

Would like to see a measurement from the seat bottom to the cab roof if possible.
mjeff87 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Sadly, I sold off my MJ a few years ago I only have a couple pics of the interior.....they don't really tell the whole story about the seats, LOL
HOrnbrod Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Yep, they set higher, that's for sure. Thanks for the pics - and forgot you sold the MJ. You need to get another.
rynoshark Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Is it annoying that they sit higher? I am 6'0". I've not finalized whether I will remove the old MJ buckets off the seat brackets, and re-weld the Laredo Cherokee front seats. Will I really miss the ability to not fold the seats down? IDK
