Installed 3 LandTank Seat Extensions last weekend

What might help is to envision how the extra inches help.

Envision you sitting in a stock seat all the way back.

Now you move the seat back without bending your knee 2".

Your knee is now 2" from the dash as well as your foot from the gas pedal.

Now you can move your foot forward 2" which allows you to straighten your leg which adds more room and adds comfort.

Ive had quite a few people contact me for a bracket for their 100 after riding in an 80 with the seat mod.

I just finished installing mine and it works great (The landtank seat bracket)

I have almost too much legroom now I'm five 11 1/2 inches tall.
I sit a lot higher now.
it tilts the front up 3/4 of an inch which makes it lean back a little more in the back.
i'm trying to train myself to reach forward further for the shifter because now I'm sitting back farther.

I can say, I own a none seat modded 80, and the LX450 I bought had the mod already done, so no purchase bias since I didn't spend a single minute doing this mod. With that said I love this mod for it's effectiveness. I'm 6'2" and I hate driving my non modded 80 now

I've looked at and thought about this mod for years, but have held off on it....thinking it wouldn't really make much difference (in my case). But maybe I'm wrong.

Many folks claim it made a big difference for them. But I have to wonder if there is an element of Confirmation Bias involved, since it is easy to want to think something you worked so hard on....has actually produced a benefit.

The other thing is: I wonder if there is some 'cut off point' (to a person's physique) where moving the seat rearward 2" changes your seated angle enough to make it worth while?

What I mean by that is....a person who is 6'-0" tall, fairly slender build, 33"-34" inseam might benefit more from the 'mod' than a larger/taller person.

They don't 'fill out' the seat as much as someone larger, so they aren't really crowding the console, shifter or steering wheel that much to begin with.

If we use ME for example: 6'-5" tall.....270 lbs, 36" inseam. My legs are longer than the average persons and my physical size...means I pretty much fill up the drivers seat. I can't 'scoot over' much either direction, so my knee is (and always will be) right by the shifter and console, unless I could move the seat back 4"-5".

I've just learned to drive the vehicle with the 'limited' legroom it provides.

No doubt, 2" of extra legroom would be better than nothing, but is it really worth the effort for folks that are well beyond the 'cusp' of comfort in this vehicle.

I do fine in the LX470 however.
