I'm absolutely no help for your problem, but I now see why you drive an XJ. When I bought my Wrangler, my Englishman co-worker (6'5" - 6'6") sat in the driver's seat and emulated a shift.............when he let out on the clutch, his knee slammed into the steering wheel - this with the seat back as far as it would go.:shock:
Guess us little guys will have to keep dibs on the Wranglers!!!!:lol: :lol: :lol:
Good luck in your search.

I actually fit pretty good into that 2005 I rented in Colorado last month.
Only after a long time behind the wheel did my right knee get uncomfortable hitting the shifter from time to time.
But that XJ of mine with the electric seats doesn't give me much in the way of head room. I sat in one in the wrecking yard with regular seats and it seemed to have more wiggle around room.

milk crates work pretty good
Check out Corbeau, and mastercraft.

I've driven on milk crates before! The seat belts don't work too well with them though....:lol: :lol:
Do you think I would see much difference if I just went with factory XJ manual seats from a wrecked one?

My buddy has some Corbeau, the race style seats, not the suspension, in his XJ and they are manual adjusting back and stuff. But I'm 6'3 and If I wear a hat, the button on top hits the roof when we hit a bump.

Yea I know the feeling. I'm 6'4 and I drove my friends YJ around one day and I just don't like how small they seem to me. But the 4 door XJ's are hell for me to climb in and out of due to the LONG leg syndrome. Thats why I like my 2 door, the doors huge and it has the same wheel base as a 4 door. Now I would say go with the factory seats, thats what im riding in right now and they absorb much of the shock, I mean I bounce around alot but its better then hitting your head every other bump. I was wondering if I could get some out of a YJ or a CJ and put them in the XJ just because they aren't made of cloth.

You could always chop the top and make it a convertible.

Hey, I saw an XJ done that way, either in JP or ORA mag this month.
It had a cut out roof and used a snap top cover system

....or you could scrap an A1M1 Abrahms tank and mount the turret on the roof of your Jeep, build up your existing seat, and sit behind the .50 cal with a pair of gunner's goggles on as you drive. I'm thinkin' road rage aimed at you would pretty much be non-existent.

You could ask Tug where he got these, but I'm thinking that somewhere there's a fat guy in a sleigh having to stand up:
