I'm VERY short and even with my seat all the way forward I have a bit of a problem comfortably reaching the pedals.
So......
I've come up with these options to fix my short coming (haha) but would like ya'lls opinions and any suggestions you may have.
Option 1. Putting blocks on the gas and break pedal.
Option 2. Cutting the pedals off, welding extensions the the pedals back on.
Option 3. Pulling the seat out and moving it forward and rebolting it down.
So what do you think??
Thanks,
Heather

My ex-girlfriend had to pull the seat all the way forward to drive my jeep, and she was like 5'0''. It was so funny to see her cruisin down the road in my jeep with no doors on it lol
But if i were you I would just unbolt the seat, drill some new holes, and bolt further forward

There is going to be some fab work because of how the front seat bolts mount to the cross member on the floor. Also, moving the seat forward is gong to start getting you dangerously close to your air bag (depending on year). I say mod the pedels.

There are a few company's that have blocks to add to the pedals.
My Father's 5'2" but he's got short legs. He had to add blocks both in his CJ's and his Ranger..

I'd say modify the pedals, try putting blocks on them first. Like someone else said you dont want to move the seat forward b/c it'll put you too close to the steering wheel.

Thanks guys!! Yea, no AB. And not too worried about other people driving him. I'm 100% against it. lol I like my fathers motto - don't ever let anyone drive your vehicle or your ol lady. A rod can be thrown in either one 
Thanks again!!

Thanks again!!



Whats so funny is that I have absolutely no problems reaching the pedals on my 00' Tahoe.
