I would be interested in this, also! This is the first manual I’ve had where my right leg is sore and not my left. Feels like my leg has no support from underneath when moving from brake to gas back and forth. Makes my hip sore.
When I sit, the back of my knees hit the end of the seat pad on the 2019. On the 18 I have a good two inches or so before back of my knee folds over.
Oh man, that is crazy. I need to sit in one and see if it feels any better. If so I may be in the market for swapping the seats...
Maybe I’m crazy and I was angled diff, but when I got it in I mediately noticed it. And, I wasn’t even looking for it. I got in to test the steering.
Don't worry, there is still plenty of tilt forward to the seat I'm sure she won't notice.
I tried doing this - I cannot get the bolt on the right loose - and I may be stripping the bolt head. I am using the tool kit that came with the Jeep. Any pointers on getting the right bolt loose? I got the left one loose.Ok, so I had enough of feeling like I was falling into the dash especially after a 300 mile trip I took. I’m not spending 79.00 on spacers from fleabay. So I went to Home Depot and bought some 1/2” hex nuts. They work as a spacer even the way the left front bracket is made. They fit perfect and gave the bottom cushion about an inch or so tilt up. 100% better. Just remove the 2 front bolts loosen the rear bolts and the 1/2” nuts will fit underneath both front bolts. Tighten up and your good to go. Total cost was 55 cents. Probably easier than trying to put a bunch of washers. So for you big and tall guys like I am this seems to work for now.
Yah, played with it as well. Greatest tilt is when the seat is at the lowest setting. I noticed that as you raised the seat, it looks like a 2:1 ratio back to front. The back goes up an inch, the front goes up a half inch, the higher the seat the less reclining tilt and soon you have a downward tilt.
Get a pipe, or something to give you some leverage to break loose, the factory uses a lot of loctite on those. I used 2 ft .Pipe I slid over my ratchet.
Me too...investigated the driver seat extensively to make it more comfortable. My head was touching the roll bar...the lower seat cushion needs to beba little lower and tilt back further. I ended up having 1" of seat foam removed out of my bottom cushion. It still needs to tilt a little further towards the back to be comfortable. Also really annoying on long drives with a 6 speed and no dead pedal. I end up trying to lodge my left foot under the clutch pedal...but your foot is angled down too much and its uncomfortable.
