Those are too expensive. They're like 3.99 for 20 of them. Then I have to figure out how to put them together.

Yes, I actually used it a good bit.

Used it to flip this rig back over.

Used it to pull my broke *** up out of rock garden after I broke my drive shaft the second time.

and I used it to pull the Jeep up on the trailer since I didn't bring my trailer ramps with me.

It did well.

I guess it boils down to personal preference my man. Kind of like to wear a helmet or not to wear a helmet on a motorcycle. I choose not to wear one. Also, shouldn't be unstable at all. Thought of that though (stability) Mounting the same way, just to the rear some. The 4 bolts holding front and rear bolts are still bolted in all four corners. If unstable though, I will approach that if needed, but really don't foresee it an issue. Thanks for your input.

I'm 6'1" and I hate the leg room. The word comfortable means different things to different people.

I was just thinking??? I guess I'm moving my seat back for more comfort for me and my taste like you lifted your Jeep up for you and your taste. Lol! I was looking at photos of your Jeep. Nice Ride by the way! It's funny, cause I know the way yours is lifted, is far more prone to roll over than mine is. I will opt to move the seat back and possibly (I hardly doubt though) have it unsafe seating, over lifting as high as yours and possible roll over and injury. So, I think I will take in your eyes unsafe seating over unsafe height, at least 6 days out of 7 of any given week. Lol!!! Too cool.

The pool floater is a pretty slick idea



Those move both the front and rear mounts?
Yes, the brackets move the seat back from front to rear. You still have the 4 point anchor for stability.

4.5" on 33s is tall? Since when?

I drive my jeep ~50 miles every day - it's extremely stable in corners thanks.

Well he means it's more "prone" to roll over than a stock one. But who doesn't lift their jeep anyways?

Hilarious. I'd rather go through another rollover in any Cherokee than get into a collision with unreliable seat brackets. I have rolled, and I walked away with a bruise because my seat was securely fixed to the floor.

Exactly!! Mines lifted, just not as much as others. I don't down what they do either. Its each persons preference to hook their ride up for them personally. Whether its lifts, seat brackets or tires. To each his own.
