So I got this racing seat for free and I wanna install it in my Jeep since it has the sagging drivers seat. What do I need to put this thing in? Do I need to fab up anything? Thanks

As mentioned, you're gonna need to build/fab/mount brackets or whatever which way floats your boat. If you go the route of adding a 4/5 point harness... build a harness bar. DO NOT bolt the harness to the floor; you're asking for a spinal compression injury.
