i dont know if i should laugh at this or take that as an insult. 
pat, i think this thing is about your size actually. for me to get in it (yes i acted like i was driving it and made the vroom noises) i have to lean back a bit straighten my leg almost parallel to the ground and pull my way in.
the shackles right now aren't allowing the springs to go flat (which is what im hoping for) so its giving it a little added height.

since dillon has his build thread for his samurai i'm bumping mine 
have booster and both masters installed, pedal buckets, steering column, radiator, hoses, etc. towing it down to get the steering box re-welded to the correct angle to get my steering out of a bind, and re-installing my cage tomorrow (just got it powdercoated along with a lot of other parts for it and the new motorcycle)
notice in the background of the second picture the used to be traitor truck (fx4 life 79's tundra)

i did end up selling that hard top i had for a small profit probably about a year back. decided i didn't really want one on and it'd be a pain to remove with the cage in and didn't want to have to buy another set of doors.
heres the half doors i built. sold the original 1975 doors and got 1974-older doors to build into the half's. (inner door panels look better once halfed)
pic of the roll cage (metal tech w/ a few changes made during install) bolts the the frame. picture is before i moved the rear axle back ~3"
