Im picking up my disco 2 sunday so I will take it apart and have a look at it. They make these things for short people!!!!!

 

Remember the guy in Police Academy? Take the front seat out and use the back.

 

My girlfriend had to drive it home! she and the kids love it ! On my day off Wednesday I will start to look into making the seat more comfortable to fit in.

 

Evan at 6' I find I'd like it to go further back.
That said, just as you are new to the truck, you know the seat moves up and down by quite a lot too? Might not be obvious…

 

Sufficient legroom isn't just Disco II's, Disco I's have the same issue. I test drove a Mitsubishi Montero a few weeks ago and it had the same problem. I feel yer pain. It's like there needs to be an extra inch and a half of seat travel which isn't there. The Disco is a design of compromises because they started with the Range Rover chassis and worked backwards, and it's a 100" wheelbase which doesn't leave a lot of length to work with. One reason the seat bottoms are as short as they are. Let us know if turning the seat track around works for you.

 

I removed the stop studs in the rails and added some flat iron to extend the motors. It will create a lot of leg room but remember what you gain in the front detracts from the back. I can't find the original instructions on this. The site is no longer available. But here is part of the step.

The original site seems to be gone, but I found this link to a PDF of the original instructions.

Yes Sir, that is the mod I used. Save yourself the heartache and remove the seat from the vehicle. Just 4 bolts and its out.

 

Another great sticky

 

Thanks, that's great info!
