Have y'all received any complaints regarding the foam in in the past or is this new news? If it's the former has the issue been addressed with the curret foam on the market?
Have y'all received any complaints regarding the foam in in the past or is this new news? If it's the former has the issue been addressed with the curret foam on the market?Newbs - LMR sells both our upholstery and our direct competitors (cheaper) upholstery. Can you confirm 100% that the upholstery you received came in box with a large red, TMI logo on both sides? Our upholstery will also have a TMI tag on the inside of all of the upholstery pieces.
Lets start there- check it out and let me know.
Thanks,
How high are we talking?Exact same problem looking for any solutions. It doesn't compress much so you sit higher.
How tall are you?How high are we talking?
5'8" ish. I think I read once that @revhead347 said he's 5'7" and his hair was touching the headliner in his SN.Same issue with mine, although it isn't because it's a "low grade" foam is it has been alluded to in this thread, just a firmer foam than the original ones FoMoCo used. While I do find the higher seating height a bit of an issue, I also find that the TMI foam is far more supportive than the originals ever were.
Doubly crappy for me, I bought the CJ Pony Parts seat track extenders for my drivers seat and along with the added 6" of leg room, it bumps you up another 1/2-3/4" on top of that. My head was practically sticking through the sunroof.
The only real solution is to find a way to drop your seat brackets a little. I've cut and rewelded my seat frames to help this, but It seems I still haven't gone low enough. Gotta find away to get another inch or so lower.
I haven't seen, or heard of the drop brackets @madspeed was talking about, but I'd be interested in a set if they do exist.
How tall are you?
I'm 6'3" and even without the seat track extenders, my head is touching the frame of the sunroof. One good pothole is going to give me a concussion.
I think Kurt said even when he had the seat all the way down in the Sn it was high, I could be mistaken though. At any rate I think I'm going to take a pass on the tmi. I've read many good reviews but that's too much money for me to spend to take a gamble on. I don't wanna be cutting my way out of a cluster "F" to get them to work right.Time to upgrade to never model year seats with power adjustability!
Your head would stick out of the roll cage.This sounds perfect for my wrangler. You guys make foam and upholstery for yj jeeps?
Not me man. I can't justify $700 and then have to mess with it to get it right when an upholstery shop gave me an estismate of $850. Even if it ends up being $1,000 in the end I figure there's not that much of a difference between 700 and 1k and I'd end up with a better product without a cheesey zipper in the back. I'm thinking I'm going with vinyl. @TMIproducts The foam was pretty much the deal breaker.If this is a denser foam and it sits higher than the original then shaving it must work. When I do mine I am going to mount the seats in the car and keep shaving and reapplying the foam till it sits just right. No way will I put up with a ridiculous ride height.
