- I'm about your height (6'4") and I don't fit in a BJ8 mainly because my left knee interferes with the dash which prevents me from operating the clutch. On my BT7, instead of being squared off, the l

- I'm 6' 9" and don't fit in the BJ8 or the 100 (darn). I have a BT7 so this may not help too much. I welded another piece of flat steel to the gearbox side of the seat bottom. This allowed me to move
