Re-locate the drivers seat mount??

[jsbihn]

Has anyone ever relocated the drivers seat mounting position?
I dont know who designed the H2, but the placement of the drivers seat is a joke. The seat, fully retracted back on the tracks, is still extremely close to the steering wheel. I drive with the steering wheel in my lap and my arm bent quite a bit even though I am completely back on the tracks. What is even funnier is that the seat can go forward on its tracks til it actually touches the steering wheel.
WHO THE HELL NEEDS TO SIT THAT CLOSE!!

So I am thinking about re-locating the mounting points of the drivers seat and wondering if anyone has any pointers for me. I am thinking roughly 6-8 inches back. I know that the seat is sitting on a raised area, but I am wondering if the perch is duplicated (possibly weld in or bolt in a piece of metal the same height to hold up the seat), is there anything else that may need considerations.

I think yours may be overextended, Although they don't go back very far, there plenty comfortable for me at 6'2
I don't think mine goes that forward, but mine it getting warranty work done, so I don't have it to check.

Yeah...that doesn't sound right. Mine won't got that far forward either.

So is there a way to check to see if over extended?

Just an FYI ... you can cut the small plastic ring off from the bottom of the worm gear (screw). This allows you to recline your front seats all the way.

Thanks NJ H2, but this isnt about the reclining of the seat. This is about the seat position forward or rear in the cab of the H2.

Basically, my seat is in the furthest most position away from the front of the car and yet it is still really close.
I am sure there was a reason for allowing the seat to only go back on the tracks so far, but at the cost of the drivers comfort?

Does anyone know if there is a manual way to make the seat go all the way back on the tracks? I am wondering if there is something in the electronics that is keeping my seat so close to the front of the cab.
