Help Out A Big Guy!

Post by SASS »

I was wondering if anyone out there could help me with some information?
You see the problem is I want to buy a GQ tray back For work (Carpenter) and Play But the problem is that Im not a little bloke!
Im 6 foot 6 inch tall and 127Kg in weight.
I've taken a few for a test drive but need a bit more room!!!
Dose anyone know of any after market seats that can replace the originals
too gain more leg room without having to have the back hard against the rear wall (very uncomfortable driving posision). I can install a smaller steering wheel for more knee room but I need to be able to stretch my legs out further.
Any help would be realy apprecieated!!!!

CHEERS

6ft 6 and 127 jg, you sure you aint me??

I cant vouch for the interior of a GQ ute but drove a zook and all I did to create room (For me its long legs so I need knee room) I bought a sports steering wheel and machined up an extension for the boss.

It enabled me to turn the wheel one handed without hitting my knuckles on my knees.

What he said.

Sass, head on down to On Track 4wd on moss st and have a talk to bretto, he'll help you in the right direction.

There's not a lot of room in the ute cab, no matter what seats you put in there.
Built, not bought.

More sugestions??

Post by SASS »

I've already looked onto buying a wagon to cut down but the conversion just isnt economically viable. Just looking at prices on the net its around $9000 for an extra cab conversion or $8000 for dual cab, On top of the purchase price of the vehicle!!! Not to mention increased insurence if i can even get it (Im only 23)!!!!

Any other sugestions???

Anyone know of any already converted trucks comming up for sale in the brisbane area???

The missus will never let you do it, unless you back into a tree rather hard :D
Yep, I can vouch for the guy's at Brendale, I've had one of their first dual cabs for 3years and it's still solid as a rock. Like Red Rover (the only one he owned was yellow) say's talk to them about the budget way, stripping it out for them first and painting, interior yourself.
