aranay Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I've been having a problem with comfortably fitting in my P-finder due to my absurdly long body and average sized legs haha. I'm 6'2" and have a 32" inseam so my head is constantly hitting the roof of my truck unless I slouch in my seat(luckily I only live less than 15mins from work). the truck in question is a 91 SE with a factory sunroof. Has anyone here had this issue? The only reasonable solution that I can see is to somehow get the seat at least 2" lower (3" would be awesome) has this been done? Before anyone throws a fit, I did a search but came up empty handed and yes, I know my seat is vertically adjustable and yes it's flat on the floor. help??

OldSlowReliable Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Your seat is vertically adjustable? Dang.... I don't have access to my truck right now, otherwise I would look myself, but the best way I can figure is to cut the stock brackets, and either weld them on up higher, or fabricate new ones. I can't think of any other way, this is all assuming that there is room in the floorpan to lower it more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Having recently removed the stock seats in my parts truck, I doubt you could get much more than 1-1.5" lower without a whole lot of work/issues. My recommendation is to source some other seats (maxima, xterra?) or go aftermarket. You may have to relocate the electronics under the seat to achieve 2-3" drop.

B For my XE seats, the only thing I can think of that would get in the way is that hump under the front, BUT if you're so determined, that could be modified...

thehuntersam Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 There is a lever on mine and since yours is a se, im assuming yours has it as well, but it can make the front of the seat go up about 2 inches and down 2 inches.. I think it's the one in front of the gas tank opener.. see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there much difference between the models equipped with a sunroof as opposed to those without? I don't remember having this much trouble with my old XE. Guess I'm going to have to perform an exploratory surgery on this beeyotch, so hopefully I'll have a DIY for the rest of you over-grown hillbillies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edicer2 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) i would look for different seats that fit that sit lower. Maybe try a cheap racing seat or z31 seat or something from a car Edited March 11, 2011 by edicer2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovemaN Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The '91 SE shouldn't have anything under the seat unless it had the factory alarm. You will probably need to source aftermarket seats to get them to sit lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
