any other tall people out there?

Hi,
I'm over 6'5" and I own a 1992 Toyota Pickup ext. cab, and find it very uncomfortable to drive my truck for more than 45min because of my long legs. so I was wondering if there was any way to modify the seat brackets to slide further back or if anyone has done something like that?

shouldn't be hard to build a rail that bolts into the existing rear points and extends back, you would have to drill the floor and suffer the loss of rear space...

also have you tried raising the seat with blocks that is one thing people i know have done.

Hello Nedhills. Greetings from the U.K. This is what I did with my 2nd gen Surf (4Runner). Hope this helps anyone else with an urge for extra legroom.
