Default Tall people can appreciate this

I dont know about you guys, but even with the seat all the way back, I still would like another inch or two of leg room. So I built this to make it happen. It places the seat 2 inches further back to allow us taller guys some more space and when painted nicely, doesnt even look too out of place. And yes, I know my carpet is shitty.

With the manual seat track rails you will gain additional head and legroom. Just swap the power seat tracks for a manual one.

I wouldnt mind building some more and selling them. Hoping there is enough interest to build a bunch of them.

I feel ya. Im only 6'2" and it is so much better. I cant imagine 6'6". Of course I can make it set as far back as needed based on what someone would want. Would just have to adjust the side piece lengths.

If you guys are interested I can figure out material costs, time, and rough shipping estimates and get a price together.

Will do. I'm going to be on the ship until tomorrow afternoon so I won't be able to get shipping info until then but am contacting a steel supplier for quotes on material as we speak. Will have a price soon. Thanks for the interest guys.

I'm in the same boat, 6'6 almost 6'7! I really like your design, the manual seat tracks sound interesting as well. My friend and I were looking at the rails a while back and came up with a design very similar to yours. If you can get a good price on some, I'd rather save time and pick one up from you. I'd be able to pick it up in VA Beach if you wanted

haha yeah i get it all the time, i am kind of a string bean though i'm 22 and just a few months ago i passed 200lbs for the first time! hooray haha

i'm fine fitting in my car though as long as no one sits in the seat behind me!
