i need some help i want to put some after market seats into my mq just wondering if any one has any pics of how they have mounted theirs

as i noticed when i unbolted the seats from the rails that one side is spaced up with spacers (is this common?)

in only 5"9 and i have my seat as low as i can possibly get it in my MQ, else my head hits the roof offroad and my legs get very bruised from the stearing wheel...

i plan to put race seats in soon and mod the bracket to get lower...


altho i do like to be able to look down on the other 4WDers.... :D :armsup:

try and see the ground on the left hand side of your car when driving a tight track especially when you are passenger side down wards on a side slope.
then you will realise lowering tour seat aint such a good idea :P

i cant see the ground on the left hand side in my stock seating, i cant ever see it if im steering with my feet and trying to hang my head out the passenger window... i would need a complex system of mirrors set up to do such a task, its just not possible!!!


anyway, thats what unsuspecting passengers are for!
