Passenger Seat Height

[MoladoGuy]

I sat in the passenger seat for the first time in a long time and realized I feel much higher than if sitting in the driver side. Why does the passenger seat make you feel like your sitting higher? I wouldn't mind having that feeling for the drivers seat.

I've been trying to figure this out for years.

It's the doughnuts...............

Really? No one has noticed the difference? Marlon do you notice it? I realized the difference when I first bought the KJ to. Sigh.... who knows. I just shrink when I get in the drivers side, or do I grow when I get into the passenger side?

I realized it when the red KJ had 88 miles on it. I'm still trying to figure out why...

You think it's bad in an '04... sit in the passenger seat of an '05+... the stiffer seats make it seem like you're sitting even higher.

Yes, Ive always noticed that and love it. I wish I had a friend that had a liberty so I could ride around in their passenger seat.

No one drives mine so Im always driving. I also love the back seat.. Although Im back there sometimes when I shouldnt be.

So you are a back seat driver....

So you are a back seat driver.... Dave

But what (or who's) he driving?

 

[06Liberty]

Every vehicle I've been in is like that.

 

[Marlon_JB2]

Every vehicle I've been in is like that.

Not me... the Liberty is the only vehicle I've been in which has that feeling.

 

[06Liberty]

well, every vehicle that I've owned anyway...mostly ford rangers, and a s-10. My wife's Accord feels that way too.

I've ridden as a passenger twice in my Jeep, once in the front and once in the back. Both times I felt I had too much to drink and tossed the keys to a good friend that was sober.

Sitting in the front was neat but problematic because I was in reach of all the buttons and had to show them what to push to do whatever. The back was also neat but a little cramped.

Those were the only times that anyone else drove my Jeep.

 

[azmotoman]

Could this be because the steering wheel isn't there?

 

[qbracken]

I think that both the front seats sit up too high, even in thier lowest position... Been tryin' to think of a way lower/chop the seats or the seat frames even further but I don't wanna mess up the leather or seat electronics.....

Agreed.

I have noticed a HUGE difference between my Sport and my mom's Limited. The power seats in the Limited sit up way too high for me and I have to do all kinds of adjustments to get it the way I like it.....mine on the other hand is perfect for me, just wish the seat bottom was a little longer.

I guess being only 5'5" has some advantages. My driver power seat sits much higher than the passenger seat (which isn't powered) and I like it that way. I raise it to the max when I'm off-roading, even.

 

[Marlon_JB2]

Let's twist this around...

Does anybody wish the seats could go back even further than they already do? I'm only 5' 10" and I wish they could...

Left leg is always bent due to the length restriction and I have my seat back and I'm 6'.

 

[06Liberty]

my left leg is fine, I"m 6' also...but my right leg gets aggravated cause it can't go anywhere because of the pedals....so yes, I guess I do wish they could be moved back a little for long trips.
