Hi Everyone,
My new JL came in and we picked it up last Sunday. I love it, it is GREAT, it is a fantastic platform for a lot of fun. i just need to change a few things to make it fit me. (most of them were expected - and that is fine).
I know about lowering the seat and making it go back a bit farther - really I just need an inch or so lower and a few inches back just to get my knee out of the center section of the dash. One of the seat travel extenders really doesn't raise the seat height more than the width of the metal, I just have to figure out which one.
Today I removed the transfer case knob and plastic adapter now my knee no longer digs into that. I am going to use something like a braided leather shift lever cover from a motorcycle to cover the lever along with the factory boot (a work in progress right now, but preliminary result are surprisingly good for comfort).
I really need to do something about the drivers door arm rest. I was wondering if anyone has come up with a nice way to eliminate that? That thing is downright painful after a bit on my knee. I am thinking about ordering a new door panel from Mopar, the complete panel is around $200ish delivered so I can modify a non original. It looks like I may be able to cut out the armrest but I am not sure. Obviously I do not want to go hacking up mine without knowing, I just turned 100 miles on this today.
THANKS!!
