fitting in a ute?
fitting in a ute?
im 6'4, will i fit in a stockman ute? any other tall blokes out there driving ute zooks?
mate iam 6ft 4" and have 2 stockman utes, they are bearable for a day 4x4ing. I recently went for an 8hr trip from perth to noresman it sucked, i thought i was going to die. If your only going to be in it for a couple of hours at a time its ok. Whe im a passenger i take out the shelf under the glovebox to stretch out a bit more. There is heaps more leg room in the drivers seat than the passengers.
I am 6'4" and had a ute and fit with no dramas. It isn't the actual overall height that seems to be the problem its if you have very long legs or a longish body and shorterish legs that causes dramas.
I prefered the upright seating position and my legs fitted in comfortably under the steering wheel with no dramas. Yet my brother who is about 6'2" couldn't fit as his legs hit the steering wheel.
Best bet is to be try and see how you go

Ransom note = demand + collage
There is extended cab f/glass tops in Indonesia, never seen them here.
I'm 6ft and a bit. I like to be upright for visibility and back protection.
I like my arms close to steering wheel.
I drive with my legs open.
Its not a limosine, but I survive.
Mine is a home made ute, and thus could be different.

or do this
its a LWB soft top ute, chopped for the flat tray. the back is left open but I have a windjammer I can put on too. I have the same leg room as a standard sierra. I can lean the seat back as far as I like. and I have the airflow that a hard top lacks.
I have vitara seats fitted to mine, they sit a bit higher which gives a bit more leg room too.

ummm...... i'll have to put the back on and take a photo. the only pics I have of the zook are on runs and I always leave it off unless it rains!
its the same as this one but instead of attaching to the tonneau it attaches to the half wall with press studs.
windjammer
I will get some pics of mine for you too.

Why is it that I've seen the same one pic of your ute that you are so proud of. You bought it, MRW82 built his.

each to their own i suppose....zookieboi wrote: why you would do that is beyond me. shit i hope your a huge guy to justify doing something like that...
but the vitara seats were in it when I brought it, they are a hell of a lot more comfy then standard sierra seats and give a better driving position. (for me anyway)
yeah im a bit of a unit, I like leg room. I have sat in a hard top ute with standard seats and struggled to lift my leg onto the clutch pedal!!!!
when I was looking to buy a zook it had to be a LWB ute, the only hardtops around were out of my budget. the very few maruti's I looked at were absolute rubbish.
found this styleside ute for the right price, so brought it with the intention from day one that I would eventually cut it down as I like the practicallity of a flat tray.
When your going slow off road, on a stinking hot day in a car with no aircon you need good airflow. I can leave the bikini top on (so I dont get roasted from the sun) and keep cool(er).
My tray is 1500mm x1500mm square, it's suprising how much stuff I can load onto it. heaps more then when it was styleside. I now have a roll bar which looks heaps better, aswell as lifting the tray up by 2".
I am happy with what I've built, its pretty capable for an open diffed vehicle and is practical for my needs.
