Thanks for all the great ideas guys.
Here is my take on it. I connected the bolt in Corbeau harness into the stock seat belt locations. The lap belts were fairly straight forward. Although to get to the inner bolt, I had to loosen the center console and lift it.

The rear I tied into the C-post shoulder harness location.

This is my solution for running rough bumpy offroad, but this is in NO WAY a replacement harness for the stock seat belt.

Here is the outside bolting location:

access to the interior seat belt location with the center console propped up.

I don't know about the harness's. I have a bad feeling about them. Maybe it's the false sens of security? they look cool tho

Anyone have any ideas on how to mount this similar to what YJ did on the C Pillar, similar to what YJ did with the non-retractable unit?

I have this one in one of my Rigs and like it. You will have to drill a hole in the floor behind the seat to attach it.

I believe Joe posted a write up somewhere orange.... Doh.. In this thread, 3 or 5 Point Harness Solution Sans Cage? - Page 2 - FORD RAPTOR FORUM - Ford SVT Raptor Forums - Ford Raptor post, message, or call him with any further questions.

yeah, i got a set of retractables by accident so I was trying to see if anyone had any ideas about a mounting solution before i try to get the returned for what i really intended to buy. I spent some time this evening looking at how i might go about it and really have not came up with much so far.

The original intent was to duplicate Joe's setup. ( best form of flattery)

I ordered the wrong ones at first. I ordered the clip in ones instead of the bolt in...or vice versa or something like that. They returned them easy peasy and we got the right ones.

I'm gonna side with Wilson on this. At least get a simple bolt in cage like what RPG sells if this is your cup of tea. Bottom line is if you're driving fast and aggressive enough for the need to keep your ass planted in the seat, than you're driving fast enough to do a couple unexpected rodeo flips too.

We did it for my back.... (don't sit in the back seat of a screw while jumping) keeping me planted is crucial even for moderate offroading. Yukon takes it easier when I'm in the truck obviously, but I wouldn't have made it a quarter lap at TRR without the harness. It was great! Didn't budge in the seat.

Is it going to protect you in a crash?... Eh, with how Joe mounted ours using the seat belt mounts in the pillers its just about as safe as regular seat belts. But they are not used at all on road, only offroading!

But you are right that its not a license to drive like a moron, for us, its about comfort and not hitting your helmet on the roof.
