For Tall Guys / Gals

[scuba]

Things I did to try to maintain good posture while driving as a tall guy:
1. Did the seat lift on the front seats that someone recommend on here (from the guy on ebay). No issues so far.
2. Removed the driver's side visor, for ~1/2 inch more of visibility
3. Gave myself some lumbar support higher up. I stumbled upon this idea while installing headrest DVDs, and it looks / feels good so far (after 30 min of use). Thought I'd share. It looks a lot better than strapping some pad onto my leather seats. I just took what I had handy, which was a 2" PVC pipe, and a 1.5" (I think) pipe, nested together, and adjusted to compression-fit slightly below the horizontal seam in the mid-back.

Enjoy / roast!

Not a bad idea at all. I'm 6'2 so I understand the need for lumbar support. No need for roasting here, looks like a solid idea to me. I'd rather have this than the foam back that I have to mess with every time I get in.

Yep-- I've got two of those foam things floating around. So far so good after about 2 hours driving.

PS For anyone else who wants to remove the visor, just be aware that the visor itself plus the flange (flat part that holds the visor and blinds-off the hole) are a single part #. I.e. you can't buy just the flange/hole cover, and there's no apparent way to get the visor post out of it without destroying it. It was worth it to me to blind off the hole, so I bought a replacement visor+flange on ebay to mess up ($50), and stored the original visor, along with me captain's chairs and console, in the garage for it I ever want to make this a stock LT again.
