pingpong Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 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. Â 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I ripped out my headliner and lined the roof with a sheet of automotive foam (and then speakerbox carpet so it looks nice). Gained a couple more headroom inches for my 6' frame. Jep on! --Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0mt3k Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 i fit ok but, i don't have tilt so the steering wheel is like rubbing my stomach the whole time I'm driving :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I'm not a small guy by any streach either...6' tall, 245lbs, #12 shoe. Â 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 Â 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!

Oizarod115 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 5'11 with XJ buckets no problems. but my 6'3 friends tend to give me a chuckle as they smack their way in and out... :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XJ Maki Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I really like the idea of the doors with the boat canvas windows! Â 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.

CWLONGSHOT Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 cw,I can get you some MJ bench seat brackets if that would be helpful. Â 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 Â 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: Â CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
