Thread: Tall Defender buyer needs advice

Depends on your proportions.

Those made in the wrong ratios install seat risers - mud rails, or a piece of steel 25x25mm.

We do a lot of ks and touring and cannot seem to find any other vehicle that suits us.

I am 6'3" and can't see out of a Defender without a back ache. Try a sunroof model or sit REALLY laid back.

the seat squab is removable in a fender.......

And you can always take the lid off the cubby box if you're a skinny-arsed 6'6".

I'm 6'3", and like the seat really upright, and have never had a problem.

There are a few six footers plus on here that will be able to give you first hand experience comments. I have been told that some big blokes find that the seat is too close to the door, you could get around that by changing the size of the center cubby box and moving the seat a bit closer to the center of the vehicle. Then you will probably have to deal with the handbrake.
