The old ones were cheap $35 for a set of two off of ebay. Not really adjustable, thin, constantly worked lose so they really weren't safe and just overall poor quality. They new ones were right around $70 a pop and you can really feel the difference in workmanship. These suckers keep you locked to the seat and really feel way more secure. Plus once I set them they don't work lose at all. I looked at G-Force, Crow, and the RaceQuip's that lowrange2 told me about and they all look about the same quality. I had free two day shipping on these so they were what got ordered.

After using them for a couple weeks I can tell you that they are solid. My girlfriend isn't the biggest fan of them since they take too long to get on but its a give an take I guess. Again, to anyone that is about to put in harness, DON'T BUY CHEAP EBAY HARNESS. They don't really work, don't stay tight, and have almost zero adjustment.

I just wear the lap-belt when riding around. All 5-points if I plan on rolling down a hill.

It only takes too long if you're out of practice. That just gives you a good reason to reach over and feel her up to put her belt on for her.

this and sliders are gonna be my next mod... well once I learn to weld... Do you have measurements on the bends? I like the way you did the A pillars outside the dash. Definitely makes things a lot simpler.

Nothing ever appears on the app for me, but they all worked when I was on my computer. Try that.

They all show up for me. What pictures are you looking for? I can take some more but everything is welded in and installed now obviously.

Just curious, does your air tank give you a big blind spot? Also, I know the pvc roll cage was a joke but it gives me the idea to mock one up with pvc so I can have one made with as few welds as possible. Yours looks cool though, great work.
