Hardness using stock buckets.

Any of you guys, using a 4-5 point hardness with stock bucket seats?

I'm gonna guess that if you have stock buckets, you also don't have a cage to put a harness bar into to safely install them. The shoulder restraints in a 4/5 point harness should never be run back down to the floor of the cab. Just something to think about. The other thing is that should you roll a vehicle with no cage, the stock 3 point belts will let you move enough to not just be crushed by the cab where a harness will keep you upright even if there's no longer room for your head in the vehicle.

just had thoughts of tying it into a bar running behind the cab. these stock belts rub the * outta my neck. that's even with a shoulder pads.
But yeah your right about that, didn't think about it that way.

Yotarover, have you dropped the belt attachment point on the b-pillar down to the lower of the two bolt holes? When I did mine it really helped eliminate the sawing on my neck.

Mine scratched the poopoo outta my neck, too. Then I noticed a funny round sticker just below it's upper attachment point, and pulled it off, to reveal a small black hole, threaded within, thru which all my days of seat belt-neck-scratching agony would be ended! Lo, it worked! Best 2 minutes spent improving my creature comfort.
