Head Room

[Boonie Buster]

and no i don;t mean between the steering wheel and my.... well, anyways...:redneck:

after sitting in my seat in the LUV it seems high, but it feels fine as far as pedals go, but the steering is pretty close to my legs, which is going to be a problem no matter wwat i do, due to my lanky ass body. but it feels as though my head is really close to the roof, and it's sort of hard to stick my head out the door to look outside (EASILY hit head on door-sill) so how much room do you guys allow for your head in custom built rigs? i measured in my car the other day and it was close to the same as the LUV, but the Luv feels different like it is too high, so i might redo my mounts...

My rig isn't fully custom, but I mounted my seats where they felt right, and I've got a good 3-4" above my head (I'm 5'9 or so, all leg) as I'm leaning out the window. Went and played around in a local spot with my buddy riding shotgun at about 6'2, and he knocked his head a couple times with the movement of the truck. I don't think I'd want much less clearance than what I have now.
