I think this could be a legitimate issue. I often worry about ripping the seat of my pants in the morning before work. And in a corporate job, that would not be a fun morning. lol. to the OP, maybe invest in some stretchy underwear? I also kinda like the rope ladder idea. lol, but that might let the fat chicks in.

Only put a ladder on the driver side. Or you could do a quick disconnect failure point at ### pounds to limit the heft allowed onboard.

As for you: Keep an extra pair of pants in the Jeep or in the office.

Stop sliding out of the seat. Turn in the seat and push yourself out.

Thanks for the advice from everyone. Wanted to clear a few things up. 1, someone thought I was a troll because this is a new account. Honestly I was searching to see if anyone had run into the same issue as me and didnt find anything about it so I set up an account to see if anyone could relate (which many did). 2, Im not super short but no giant, Im about 5'10. 3, The boxer problem wasn't only with old pairs (tho those were the first to see the damage) I have ripped several new pairs as well. 4, the fat chicks part doesn't matter, if they are willing to get in bring em on... After all whats the same about a moped scooter and a fat chick? Both are a lot of fun to ride but embarrassing when your friends catch you on one. Anyway thanks for all the input.

I gues i would qualify as a GIANT hobbit..hehehe. I'm 5'7.
I smash my head on the door all the time. For some reason my 00 has way more room than my buddies 00. We've studied this extensively. His is way smaller than mine. Way less leg room in the drivers seat and passenger seat. Explain that one to me.. And yes the seats were all the way back on both. Lol

Bad adjuster, worn out cushion, sagging dash, sagging headliner?

They're made the same

i have a 92 xj. after i lift it and put the sye in could i use my front driveshaft on the rear to get it home from the shop? or is it a front driveshaft from a different year cherokee? i was also wondering if yall had any pics of cherokees with 6.5in of lift on 33s. googles pics are misleading.

Well if you have an SYE on it then you could just drive it home in 4wd. It'd be like having a front wheel drive cherokee
