I’ve been searching for something to give me more legroom since I bought my 4R new in 2004. Somebody finally makes seat brackets to do it, which I stumbled across and ordered yesterday.

Looks like it just moves the seat back by relocating the bolt holes. Pretty simple and easy design to get more room. Out of curiosity, how tall are you to feel the need for this?

Please report back, very interesting. However, being 5'5" I have no need for these, but would be interested in moving the rear seat back a bit. Really doubt there is anything for that.

I’m 6’-3” with a 36” inseam. Now 60 years old the ONLY vehicle I’ve ever owned that had enough legroom was a 98 F150. I put Misch BigBoy Brackets in my 2016 Wrangler which made it fit perfectly and have been searching hard for something like that for the 4R and my DD Accord. Finally got them from this new place for both. I typically get very uncomfortable on long drives and especially stop and go traffic. I’ve been looking hard for a replacement of the 4R, considering 2019 4R TRD or Grand Cherokee but want more legroom than offered in either. That may change if this bracket company starts making them for those new vehicles.

I also cut the brake pedal on the 4R narrower so my size 11.5 shoes can fit on the gas pedal without hitting the brake pedal. You should be able to search to find info on that mod, night and day better for years now. I also stacked steel washers under the front of the OEM seat brackets to raise the front of the seat a little bit which helped a tiny bit, did that previously to my 90 Cherokee too.

I installed the seat extension brackets yesterday and they moved the seat back 4”. More than enough to make me happy. Installation was very easy.

6'5 chiming in... these are all great ideas! i do ok in the 4runner but do wish i had more leg room. cutting the brake pedal is smart! my size 13 red wings get a little cooped up sometimes.

My biggest issue with the brake pedal was shoes with a protruding sole would get caught under the brake pedal when lifting up off the gas pedal. Very dangerous. Fixed it.

this is exactly what my work boots do.

I'm only 6', but have the same issue with my work boots getting caught on either the pedals or the dash parts. Worse in the winter with the Rocky boots, of course.

Has anyone spaced the gas pedal mount further towards the driver to equalize the pedal height some? Seems like many of the newer vehicles the gas pedal is much further into the firewall than it should be - results in sitting crooked in the seat to drive it. I drive with both feet - one on the gas, one on the brake and that height difference drives me nuts. I wish they would also stop putting such a high offset in the brake pedal off to the right side - makes it tough to use your left foot for braking.

You can lower the brake pedal a little very easily by removing the rubber cover. I haven’t missed mine at all. My son gave me the idea when he took them off the pedals in his 2000 manual Accord. I’ve also done it in my Wrangler to get it closer to the level of the gas pedal. If you don’t like it you can put it back on as easily as it came off. The rubber cover simply stretches over the steel pedal underneath.
