What do big guys do?

[markmontana]

When the big guys sit on a spring seat, it automatically adjusts for their weight- it collapses

Ha, ha. That's wrong. It would be interesting to see a deuce with tilt steering.

Time and money. Everything can be done with time and money.

5' 10" at 140 lbs. I dont have a gut so that helps, but I also dont have the built in airbag to save me from the steering wheel.

6' 2", 245 lbs. Define "comfortable". Seriously, I've driven mine 2 1/2 hours at a time. The upright seating position is more comfortable to me than the laying down position in more modern vehicles. I will admit, the steering wheel rubs my belly, after I get tired of sucking it in.

This is the exact reason I don't already own a deuce... If I fit in it(without my belly and legs rubbing) , I would have one... I like the crew cabs, but there pretty long, plus they are much more expensive... The DOKA unimogs are nice for big guys too with minimal mods but hey are pricey...

6'5" -6'6" depending on who you ask, 150lbs, only issue i have is i have to cock my clutch leg sideways to start pushing, thats about it, kinda slouch so i can see out the windshield, but i make it comfy, ive driven close to a full 6-8 hrs in one day in it, not bad, but then again, im nuts. just driving it makes me happy, idc about the lack of creature comforts

Go with a box seat, way more room.

 

[A/C Cages]

Im 6'-4" 303lbs and not fat. Yeah right!
Ok, my belly doesnt rub the wheel but its a tight fit so I took out the seat and put in a box framed seat from a conversion van. Much more comfortable then before. With a seat like that you dont need air or springs.

6' 2" 232.....after 10 days on my diet down to 229. So my solution is to lose weight. I hate being hungry all the time. Oh well

 

[tco3129]

6'3" 255lbs. First time behind wheel of a deuce lasted 15hr. You gotta want it. No plans for seat mod.

 

[Marinawreckers]

2 M816's and a M818. 6' (used to be 6-2) 280 (I carry it well ). I clear the wheel fine. My problem is the clutch pedal. I had to stand up today to push in the pedal for the clutch because my leg would not fit under the wheel.

6'5"-330# here. Same problem as others. A little belly rub, but the canting of the leg, or having to half-stand to get my foot up on the clutch is the hardest part for me.

Is there a way to adjust them down a bit, or is it time for some D.I.Y. modding?

They have 3 notches in them which allow for some adjustment, I think you should be able to get close to a 2 in. drop. Not sure how much travel is required to release the clutch so I would be careful cutting to make shorter.

Fantastic. Thanks for the new lesson.

I'm 5' 10", 220 lbs, and while my belly doesn't rub, it comes close enough to make me uncomfortable. If I'm wearing a coat, it almost feels like I'm trapped in there.

It's not enough to make it unbearable, but it does get kinda uncomfortable after a while.

Gonna have to come up with something.

I saw a thread months ago in which the steering column was cut down to get the steering wheel away from the driver. I don't know how difficult this mod would be but its an option.
