Default Drivers seat height

When I get in, I can barely get my legs between the seat and the steering wheel. I am pretty tall, but sitting in the seat, my line of sight is about 3 inches above the windshield unless I recline the seat back.

I noticed that under the seat base cushion, there appears to be a ratchet-like for a tie down strap. anybody with a Disco 1 know how much room between the front edge of the seat and the bottom of the steering wheel (with the tilt all the way up) Otherwise I will be doing some customizing to the seat mounts...

They're all like that in my experience. You have to stretch your legs out and slide in. Watch the reflection of the stop lights on your hood, hahaha!!

Yep, on d2 I am happy enough to not have my head sticking through the roof, that I just overlook the inability to bend my knee much. Plus, I fit in well in some nearby neighborhoods with my seat leaning way back. My girls size 7s are a bit annoying. "Daddy kick, daddy bounce, hehehehe"

It's funny because once you're in there there is TONS of leg room.

I agree, once you get in, there is plenty of leg room. Guess I will be modifying the seat mount this summer.
