Headrest Sandwich (Head rest fix, for the no adjustable ones)

[djp]

My head doesnt fit into the average NTSB category, so when I'm in my Badlands + High Pkg my neck it tilted forward to the point it is sore throughout the day.

So only solution was to bend the @#$@#$.

To do so, make a Headrest Sandwich

Recipe:
Flat smooth ground (driveway or garage)
Blanket
Cardboard
Headrest with front facing ground
Two or more 2x4 blocks
Cardboard

Then 36" 1/2 pipe inserted all the way to the top of the headrest bar.
Then run the @#$@#$-er over, back off of it, then do the 2nd arm.
Done!

Make sure you block it up a bit more, the tread can dig into the fabric, so maybe a towel under the cardboard too


Last picture shows it compared to passenger headrest which has NOT been bent/run-over.
Looks to be about a 1" difference, my neck will thank me the rest of this week .

I have the leather package so won’t be needing this but need to see the final installation pictures out of sheer curiosity.

I think it’s pretty awesome!

Hard to tell from picture, thus the side by side on ground.

In the car you cannot notice a difference. I suppose i can push seats all the way forward and do a picture from the side.

But the difference is about an inch in the bend.

Thanks for this.
That wonderful thing that's in my pfp failed and is stuck in my neck.
Had surgery in 2014 to remove it however, bone had grown around it in-between my spine and spinal cord. Basically, my neck is f'd. Will probably need to do this mod. Should find out soon.

Success, i drove around all day and felt nothing in my neck !!!

I have 2 pipes and just realized i should have just put both of them on and just driven over it once.

after i drove over it, i got out and yanked up gently a few times. but love it now !!
