It is pretty narrow. Recently, on a test drive, went to make a turn and my left elbow banged the door.

I'm 6'6" 220 and fit fine. You wouldn't happen to be from France would you?

Haha some funny ones on here for sure....I am hoping someone comes out with some type of custom bracket....but one question I have been trying to figure out is if I do go that route which company's make good seats for Jeep's? Recaro? Corbeau? And ask them for which options would help with the issue. In the meantime this is exactly me....haha

Dammit, the roll bar is going to wear the hair off of the back to match the front, and you'll only have a strip going from ear to ear.

You may be right.

You are going to have to search for it on the JL forums but I know some guys have lowered the seats for taller guys to fit.... But, I know what you mean even though I am only 5' 6", the JT drivers side just feels like it is somewhat tight quarters, Idk maybe because of the bigger center console? It feels like a perfect snug fit for me so I can only imagine how it must feel for you LOL

I remember coming across a thread like that where people were talking about mods for taller folks on the JL side.

Sometimes it's nice being in the center of the bell curve. 5'10" / ~180 lbs and I fit just right.

My wife bought a Wrangler Unlimited a little over a week ago. I've driven it many times. I'm 6'5", 215lbs and have zero issues fitting into or driving it and don't feel cramped or uncomfortable. I'm less than 3 weeks to pick up my Gladiator, it's on the rails to my dealer, but I'll know soon enough as I have a 750 mile drive home after picking it up. I think you'll be fine.
