I'm 6'1 and have less than a 1/2 inch between my knees and the front dash of my 2003 H2. I've called the dealer and he said they didn't have a fix to move the seat further back. I wanted to purchase new rails, or extended rails to accommodate my legs. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem? I was in a new Nissan Altima yesterday and my legs were fully extended when the seat was all the way back. Again, I'm only 6'1". Others must have the same problem.

its one of the few designs ford copyed from chevy that worked. if you take off the distributor & valve covers you can't hardly tell them apart. I have been looking to build a Boss 429 one day(Hemi), but the time and money are never in the right place.


by the way, did you ever notice the notches in the shock towers on your 73? they were for the 429 Boss, but it was never put in on any production vehicle.

I can't believe you said that about Drty! I have it on good authority that Drty had professional instruction on proper manners and etiquette.

Try putting the seat all the way down--use the button on the side of the seat----if that does not do it, I live in NJ and will move the seat back--it is NO big deal to tap new holes and bolt it back futher.

I am 6'5" with a 38" inseam and the H2's leg room is just fine. With the seat properly adjusted, I have no problems completely stretching my legs out.

I have to admit, Drty still has my vote for the most humorous post:

In reference to JeepChick:

I still laugh over that one!

I'm 6'1 180lbs. When I sit my legs are at a 90 degree angle when touching the pedals. GM recognizes this problem and has installed seats in the 2004 model that go back 3 inches further. Your Dry Humor exploits your ignorance "GURU"

I'm 6'2" 215lbs and I've got tons of room. Are you long-legged or are you super bottom heavy and being pushed further forward because of a mountainous behind?

It's not dry, it's moist. Too bad you were born without a sense of humor. Out of curiosity why did you capitalize the first letters in "Your Dry Humor"?

Somebody, I do not remember who, relocated their seat tracks 3" back on their '03. Said it was very simple. BTW, I am about 6'4", 240lbs and have no problems with the seat reclined a bit.

Can you take a picture of yourself in your hummer so we can see what your talking about.
