Just a dumb question while I'm contemplating my next move. Seems like the factory bench seat sits kind of high. Anyone ever tried dropping the seat down some?

Completed his mods successfully last night and today. Paint tonight. Thanks for the heads up @ElwoodBlues. I'll post painted and installed pics in my build thread, but for now, here's my finished results. Only thing I didn't like about Jason's setup was the back corner treatment. Changed that up a bit with some of the removed steel and made it a little cleaner.

Prepped and ready for filler and paint:

All in all, a massively successful one-ish day project.

Hell yeah, brother! You work quick! Let me know how different it is driving it. I’ve thought about this mod for a while but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

Are you really tall?
No. I just didn't like how high the seat sat, and by the looks of the bracketry it looked like this was feasible. I've test fit it once already and I'm a fan. Made a nice difference.

Haha. It was a one-night project. Didnt take long at all. They're drying now. I'm ridiculously happy with the fit and new feel.
