I have experienced the same on the driver's side at first I was under the impression I had not installed the slider properly... I am not tall but still 5'8 it's close to the steeringObservation. Fits ok as a passenger seat, not so good for the drivers seat. The seat back is significantly thicker than the factory seat which limits a already limited sliding back of the seat.
The planted brackets are way taller than the factory height. Might drill new holes in the front brackets, but might affect the level fit of the bracket. Actually looking at it drilling new holes won’t work either because of the angle of the dangle

Is yours a troopy or a Ute? Did you come up with a fix?
Troop Carrier not at this moment I have bigger problems hahaha
god dam all I got was some stupid towls. I feel cheated now.
The bandana makes you do a double take!
My driver's seat is from a 79 series, and sits higher than the original 75 series seat. It took me a minute to figure out why the original steering wheel was swapped out for a smaller diameter one - the original wheel would cut your legs off at mid thigh in that seat, especially in a non-tilt wheel truck.

Japan4x4 care package. Caps for the bolts for the fold down wiper arms and the non-folding wiper arms.

I had to replace one of mine recently. No idea how it fell off given how tightly they fit.

Received a DIY kit from Planted Brackets so I could modify the mounts for the seats. I was able to drop the rear about 1/4” and the front about an 1”. Dropped them off to get powder coated. Once back will see how much lowering the mounts (as little as I was able to) will help with the Scheelman seats fitting me in the small cab. For now I would not recommend the Scheelman seats in the first gen Ute.

Finally got my modified seat brackets back from powder coating. The slightly lower height is a little improvement, but doesn’t help with getting the seat farther back.
Old mount.

Thought it time to make an emergency road repair kit. Just stuff I think I can repair on the road.

Wife won this Klein roller box at this year’s company Christmas party, thinking about using this for the road trip emergency kit. Would still have room for fluids too. When camping I can remove and leave outside of the Ute.
SMART!
I carry something similar and I can I tell you how nice it is to make a trailside repair and NOT have to think about opening it again back home because I was missing the correct gasket or seal? A spare birf is often carried but rarely do folks have the spare inner seal (90311-33085/FA33085) or the clips, seals & gaskets you've assembled to fix it cleanly and permanently. Well done!

Keep thinking of spare birf but not familiar with how to take it apart aside from just replacing the hole axle, I have along side spare but missing the short side spare

Things to come, most likely in January
Maybe a water pump? Even one that you pulled the last time you did the timing belt?
