It really isnt that bad w/o the windows or doors. It was a little rough when I wheeled in Feb and it snowed the whole day on Saturday. I got more cold then wet, but still kinda miserable.

 

I kinda wish I would have made some trail doors, but it really doesn't make much of a difference when you are wearing 5 point harnesses. can't really lean out anyways, especially if you are cinched down right

Are all MJ owners this short? I'm 5'5"!

 

 

HA! 6'1 lol

 

:shock: :shock: do you "fit" easily..lol

 

That was what I was thinking as well. We are short because tall guys buy XJs so they can fit better.

I'm not a small guy by any streach either...6' tall, 245lbs, #12 shoe.

 

Since my bucket seat swap the head room is a bit tight and friends laugh watching me et in and out....(Seats are a bit higher).

But once in I manage, tilt wheel would be nice but I don't rub against it while driving. The wheel is in the way of the gages. I am tall from the waist up, only 32" inseam jeans. :shock: To tell the truth, I am only bothered, because I can no longer ware my cowboy hat in the truck!! :D :P

 

I have new headliner to put in and in a couple weeks I'm gonna remove my buckets and see if I can cut the height down and reweld back together.

It was fine for room before the XJ buckets went in. But I LOVE the comfort they offer, I will NOT be going back to the bench even if I cannot cut them down!

I really like the idea of the doors with the boat canvas windows!

 

and to follow the hi-jack, I'm 6'2 two-fiddy...in the process of swapping in some XJ buckets, with the bench I have tons of headroom, even more than in my XJ, but the legroom sux so I'm looking forward to sitting up a little higher.

cw,

I can get you some MJ bench seat brackets if that would be helpful.

 

I bought these buckets with the brackets attached. I am not sure what they actually are. The seats are the style that "rock". I and the brackets from my bench, but you only get two and you need four.........You muxt know something I havent figured out yet.....spill it already! :-D :D :-D

 

Yea, I smack my head of I don't get enough of my arse on the seat before tipping my head in... :shock: ..This has proved more difficult since I lifted it almost 6" taller and added 33's. :D :wink:
