Give a motivated kid a socket set and some duct tape, and who knows what he can accomplish!

Well, since you're a hulking 6' 5", I will continue to mock you only from a safe distance.

I would like to extend my rails as well, but want it done properly. I'm 6'7" with really long legs and a bad back and would love for my seat to go back another 2 inches.

how big is your brother

im 6'2 225 and i would imagine he would need to be over 7' to not fit properly


..just looked at the images,.. ever think what would/could happen to the structual integrity of your ''bracket'' if he got into an accident...hmm..

Actually, you have a real point. I mean, it's fun to joke and all, since the Org has been real boring these last few days. However, if he gets into an accident and gets seriously hurt, you have to wonder what insurance companies would do if they found out the driver's seat was, um, "modified".

Not a bad idea but I'd use a much thicker steel. I can see that bending and coming apart over time. I'd imagine if he's that big he probably weighs a good bit too.

Take those out and use them as a template to make another set from 1/4 inch steel. Give them a good spray of semigloss black. If you do that he'll be better off in the long run.

Here I thought this was going to be a thread about a mod to effectively lower the seat height and my interest was piqued until I came in and saw the fail.

LOL that definitely looks unsafe, not to mention pretty ugly.
I'm 6'6" and I fit just fine with the seat all the way back... This guy must be huge

Did you retain the electric adjustability of the seat?
