How much space in the front seats when getting half doors (JLUR)

[Draelor]

I know I've seen various comments and even some pictures (that I can't find now) on the space that is available in the front seats when getting half doors. Can anyone share their experience when picking theirs up? Ideally my wife and I will both be going but then it's a 5-6 hour drive home, can we make that comfortably?

Thanks for any advice!

Jeep JL 392 Half Door Option - YouTube
I believe this YouTube video does a good job of showing how much room the half doors take up

Thanks Raymond, this is good but what it never showed was the room left in the front seats for passengers before the stuff is taken out. Since we'll both be riding up front with all that packed in there for several hours I'd like to see what kind of discomfort we might expect.

I'm not sure - it's been a while since I watched the video - but I believe the man comments that they had to take the one "top" out of the box, because with it in the box the passenger seat was pushed all the way up ?

@IAJeepguy has some insight.

"However, to answer you about the boxes… the rear portion, on a JLU, is packed to the brim! I am only about 5’7” and my seat was barely back far enough for me to sit comfortably and drive. We had a 10 hr or so drive. My wife is around 3” shorter so she was ok, but she couldn’t recline her seat or move it back either. Her seat was also slightly further forward than mine.
Hope that helps. It’s definitely a snug fit!"

It depends on how tall you are. My wife is roughly 5’4” and it was just enough room for her. We had a 9 hr drive, and it worked. I’m also on the short side at 5’7”. Any taller and I’d been too uncomfortable. If you take the time, you could possibly move some stuff around to make more room. We didn’t do that.

He stated that the passenger seat was "all the way forward"... So I think you should bet on having the seat all the way forward.

Thank you everyone! And apologies since I watched the video without sound therefore didn't hear what he said. DOH! I'm 6' and she is 5'6" so I am definitely concerned about our comfort level!
