Jimny for tall people?

I've stumbled across this forum whilst trying to find an answer about the Jimny.
I really like the idea of owning one of these beautiful vehicles, but I'm not sure if I am wasting my time.
I am about 6"3 / 6"4 tall and also have a bit of a beer belly on me
My question is would I be able to fit into one of these comfortably?
Is there anyone else on this forum who is a gentle giant also?
I know some of you might tell me to just go and have a test drive in one myself, but I would like to know people's opinions first.
Thanks in advance, and I must say I am quite impressed by some of the content on this forum!

heights OK but knees stick out and rests on door
peeps on here have made seat runner mods before to push seat back further
can't advise on beer belly, but will definitely bounce around a lot
best thing go a showroom and try it out because there's a lot about this truck you can put up with cause it makes you smile

I'm a bit of a beer-induced 'wide load' and find the Jimny surprisingly very comfortable, however I'm under 6ft so it's your height that may be an issue.
Just recently there have been a few posts about modifying the seating position to get a bit more leg room etc... I'm sure someone will be along to offer more info soon but in the meantime do a bit of a search on the forum, there's some good stuff somewhere about it.

Is the seat mod an easy one to do?
I've not really got much experience with doing things like that - certainly not making brackets/metal work.
Also do you have to tell your insurance company about it?
