Just got my libby shipped from texas on wed and i love it. That being said i absolutly hate that the seat has no up/down adjustments. Im 6ft 4 and it makes for a rather uncomfortable ride. Has any one modded the seat braket or maybe removed some spacers to get the seat a little lower?

Yeah. Several have done that. But, I am not sure why. I am 6'6" and don't have any trouble comfortably driving my KJ. I guess everyone has their preferences...

I'm six foot five and have a 38 inch inseam.
I have no problems with leg room in our '04.
I can stretch out my left leg fully and my right
leg is comfortable as well.

I am only 6'2" and I knew about the line of site problem before I purchased. The only problem I have is seeing some stop lights, but there is usually some helpful motorist behind me to let me know when it changes :lol:

I think if you raise your seat all the way up, you can look through the sunroof.

You could always mount one of these to your windshield and then you
will be able to see any stop light!
