I am sick and tired of my head hitting the roof in my truck. I am ready to pull out the factory seats and replace them with something mounted lower. I am thinking about going with the Mastercrafts Sportsman in a +1" width for my big backend. The local 4X4 shop has most of the styles to sit in and the Sportsman's seem to be the most confortable.
In measuring the stock seats there is around 8"+ of space between the seat mount and the top of the seat. I need to obtain around 2" total headroom somehow. I would like to leave the stock seat mounting platform in place, but am prepared to remove it if need be.
My question is this, how different is the Defender seat mounts than the Rangie? I am sure they are not the same but I am wondering if the mod is worthwhile or if I should just have custom mounts made or find an existing mount that might come close enough and still be safe?
Later this week I plan on removing the passenger seat and measuring exactly the mounting dimensions I have to work with.
Surely I am not the first Rangie to do this?
