Seat Height
 
I have the cloth interior in my H3 so I can?t adjust the seat height. The stock seat height is okay for driving, but it is a little low when I use my parking card or use the drive through ATM. I would like to keep my cloth seats just raise the seat height about one inch, and yes I know we would all be happy if we just had an extra inch. Would it be safe to make two flat steel spacers for the front mounting points? The back will be no problem just longer bolts and a couple of round spacers.

Your idea of raising the seat from under the rails should work to gain some hieght. How does that help you in reaching down to your parking machine?:beerchug:

Re: Seat Height
 
Due to the height of the driver’s seat it is very awkward for me to reach out and down. The H3 sits high enough that you have to reach down to swipe your parking card or use the ATM. I Played around with an H3 at the dealership last week that had electric seats, and you can adjust the height. I found that raising the seat height made it a whole lot easier to lean farther out the window, which in turn made it easier to reach out farther. I know this may sound a little strange, but am I the only one have trouble swiping a parking card or reaching an ATM? I have owned 4 jeeps, several 4WD Toyotas, Chevy Z71, and Xterra, but the H3 beats them all on or off road. Thanks dеiтайожни, but I would never use anything but the real yellow pages.

I learned w/ in the 1st fews days that it was easier to just get out of the truck rather than lean out the window.

Problem is I can't get out to swipe my parking card.

Didn;t someone mention, once upon a time, that the cloth seats prewired for the power controls? If so, perhaps you could have the install done. Hell, I might even go for that myself... :popcorn:
