I saw last night (07/31/18) that Extend My Seat has added a seat extension for the new 2018 JL Wrangler (I'm the proud owner of a new Rubicon 2018 JL). The seat extension is expected to ship September 1 and is available for pre-order now. It is $265.00 and with shipping my order to VA via UPS ground came to $296.37. I had contacted Extend My Seat back in June when I acquired my JL and encouraged them to add to their already existing JK extender. Sounds like I was not the only one.
I'm 6'1" and even though I cannot touch the firewall with my left foot, I feel like a few inches extra room for my right foot on the accelerator would be very beneficial, even more so this winter with bulky clothing and boots. So, this saves me the task of custom fabrication. I'm not sure how much extension will be provided; however, guessing from the images on their site of the floor bracket, say ~2" more or less? Thought the taller jeep owners would appreciate the news. We'll see if my attachments worked ... first time using ... bear with me.
On a secondary note, years ago when taking my 1946 CJ-2A Fire Jeep through a frame off restoration, I added a two 4" sections to the front of the seat frames, and notched (very professionally I think), the left rear fender. This allows a taller person to very comfortably drive a "flattie" with a "back-of-seat-to-face-of-clutch-pedal" distance akin to a CJ-7. Well, "comfortable" is a relative term with the original CJ-2A seats ... LOL. I'll take some pics and include at a future date.
