    FYI - According to Tone there were three different versions of the seat extenders. The first gen pushed the passenger seat forward 4.5", but he got a lot of complaints that it was too much. So the second gen he cut back to 2.5", but got the opposite complaint. The version he sold me was 3.5", and it's the perfect length IMHO.

    So that gives you an idea of what's out there if you had to acquire one of Tone's extenders for customization. Good luck and let us know what you do!

    I'm 5" shorter than 6'8"...and I don't fit in a VX. Which is part of why I drive a Trooper. But he is "all legs", and I am long torso...

    Welcome to the family. I'm sure someone will come up with a solution.

    I need to have someone take a pic of me in my Astral as I thought I fit pretty good with some seat back tilt. I have long legs too.

    I got really excited when I saw the title to this thread "seat extenders". Then I realized they were talkin front to back and what I was lookin for was 'seat wideners'. That's the problem with bucket seats, some of us have bigger buckets than others. I guess there's no way to widen the seats without widening the doors...Oh well where are ya Tone when I need ya? Oh and Swede I'm about 2' below 6'8".
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"
