[QUOTE="BramageDained, post: 633143, member: 7471"] I really just wish the seats were more like sports car ones with real side bolsters instead of 'truck' seats. Read this: [url=http://www.ogracing.com/blog/2013/02/6-things-you-need-to-consider-before-buying-harnesses/]6 Things You Need to Consider Before Buying Harnesses - OG Racing Blog[/url] I had race seats and 6-points(used factoy mount points and a bar that went from both B-pillars and the floor) in my Evo and I don't know that I'd want a crotch strap in the truck for bouncing offroading(since I don't push it that hard), but, I wouldn't want a cheap 4-point that you would submarine under either. The car was to the point where a cage should have been added, my truck probably never will be. You absolutely cannot correctly mount a 5/6 point belt with the factory seats, as there is no way to run the crotch strap(s) through the seat. There's also no windows for the shoulder straps. There's this option in a 4-point from Schroth designed to prevent submarining under the belt: [url]https://www.schrothracing.com/competition/profi-asm/profi-ii-asm[/url] The inboard shoulder strap is designed to give to prevent submarining under the belts. I'm not willing to give up my comfy heated/cooled/power seats for buckets and proper belts. Unless, at some point in the future the truck ends up a caged toy. You shouldn't use the back seat for people if you have a harness bar installed, as they will break their face on it in an accident. I'd maybe look at something like this instead, made to lock the 3-points in position to better secure you in the seat. [url]http://www.cg-lock.com/index.html[/url] A friend crashed his Evo on a track this summer(brake failure) and with the factory belts, his head touched the passenger side door(wearing a helmet). There's in-car GoPro video of this, he was doing ~58mph at impact. 3-points are fine on a frontal impact, sides or rolling, a harness will better keep you where you belong, but, you should have a cage at that point too.
