Seat extension (need it to go back a bit further) was created by Podge

I'm not sure how to word this, but does anyone have or know about a mod to extend the seat back a bit further. I'm 6'4" and I need the seat to go back a bit further for a bit of comfort.

Thanks!

I think someone used to do a kit for this but also people have done homw brew versions using bits of box and plate.

S200KYS (Dave Jones or zook-bob on ebay) made kits for specifically that as he is a tall bloke.

I cant see any on his ebay page at the moment, but I'm sure if you send him a message he can make some up for you for a good price ;-)

I knew someone used to make them but I couldn't think who! Sorry Dave.

I have the same problem as my son can't fit in to drive.
I think it was zook-bob I emailed a while back but he wasn't making the seat extenders at the time.

I'm 6'2 and find it ok. But is all the way back so I guess those extra 2 inches are just over the limit!

Yea it's actually fine. But my Citroen C5 has a bit more legroom and is a bit more comfy. I drove the Jimny back from Scotland and it was alright apart from a cramp on my right foot from the angle and holding the accelerator at 65mph. Was thinking sitting back a little further would make it a bit easier...

I'll message Zook and see if they've any extenders left...

H folks, sorry, I've not been around the forums or facebook much recently... I've been offroading and tinkering with Suzukis for about 28 years now, and from time-to-time the repetitious same questions get me down, and I wander off for a bit of a rest,,, And you've caught me in one of those periods... And I'm suffering with my eyesight at the moment too

(Thanks to Riccy for messaging me to say this was here)

Yes, I used to make and sell seat spacers... after seeing this old thread -

www.bigjimny.com/index.php/forum/6-jimny...eat-position?start=0

I didn't like the way the seat then "hung in the air", so I made these -

So that they made a whole new rail for the seat to sit on but with the holes an inch back...

I sold a few batches but they weren't particularly great sellers... 50 pairs maybe? And they were quite laborious to make, cutting and drilling and then grinding, finishing, powder-coating, etc... so for £40 a pair I wasn't make much for my efforts and gave up assuming one of the bigger suppliers out there would laser cut something 'similar' and pick up the product.. but no-one has to date?

Perhaps someone could ask JimnyBits / SuzukiMods, etc. to see if they would consider making some...

Or, have a go yourselves?

Regards
Dave aka (ZookBOB)
