Ok. Call and emailed place above. Their not interested in making it for the XJ's anymore.

So, I am going to have a local shop fab some pieces up. If it works, I may just sell some

I know the other guy charges $65 what would you pay to have something for your XJ?

Complete! Not smooth, but complete. Had two bolts strip (ones that go from seat bracket to floor). Had to tap them out. Bought too small of bolts (length) for bracket I made. Had to return them for longer.

In conclusion, much better! I did it at 3". Which is max in my opinion. I don't think you could go 4". But, I feel at 6'3 the 3" is fine. I have it at a little over 2" now. I am glad I did it!!

Update:

I took some measurements. Stock, the seat was at 19" from edge of seat to brake peddle. At 6'3 I have it at 21 3/4". Almost 3" back. Any further back (1/4"), and it would be too far. For me at least. So, 3" was perfect.

Grade 8 bolts used.
Each side was different on measurements.
But, more or less, 19 1/8" length, 2" wide, and 1/4" thick. Other side was 18 1/2" in length.
Factory stude was in the way of rail. I notched a small piece out. It now fits.
Primered it in black.


Any questions, ask away!
