Only took 6 weeks and more than a few cuss words to get the right wheels and tires, but finally got them on today.

What's going on with the front fender on that thing?

Bringing this back up as someone listed this option for taller drivers.I agree with designerrob and BobWalton. I will try it but I am almost 6'6" and I would have been a potential buyer. Bummer.

Tired of not fitting in your new Jeep and hitting your head on the sound bar? Seat Slammers are the cure. The Seat Slammers will slam the rear of your driver or passenger seat by .5 inch to 2 inches. These will drop the rear only, the front of the seat will remain the same or be lifted by up to...

Interesting but you can see what I was saying. These only drop the back of the seat, there’s no way to drop the front (and to get the full drop they offer you actually have to lift the front of the seat to clear.)Bringing this back up as someone listed this option for taller drivers.

I’d be hard pressed to try these without sitting in one, dropping the rear only seems like you could end up with a really weird hip/back position and I know my wife would hate it, being a foot shorter and already jacking the JKU seat as high as it will go

I'm 6'6" and I couldn't fit in the Glad. I was disappointed for sure but I'm not sure I'd be willing to start modifying things in a brand new $60,000 rig just to fit in it. My Silverado is very comfortable and I didn't have to change a thing.

I'm 6'3" and just did the seat jackers. The factory position was just to flat. Raised the front enough to be comfortable and an extra half inch or so clearance on the sound bar.Interesting but you can see what I was saying.

I agree. I actually went to the dealer when they got one with my son to order one. I had the order sheet ready: manual transmission, green, rubicon. I was ready. My plan was to order it that day. When my head smacked the roll bar I tried everything to fit but no joy.
The salesman came out to us and said "when i saw how tall you were and you got into the gladiator i knew you'd be disappointed."
I had to modify my 8 to fit in it, but I'm OK with that: I'm not modifying a brand new truck just to be able to drive it home.

I need one in the M38a1, mostly due to the full cage, but my knees are still pretty level with the center of the wheel

They are, plus mine has about 2 inches of lift and sitting on 36s. I'd never get in if I didn't have the cage to use
