That's a sweet ride. I love what you guys are capabie of doing to these trucks and I too am jealous of Southwest Raptor Owners', but I got figured I probably saved myself about $30 to $40K in mods by living here in good ole Alabama. (Yea, I'm really okay with this/ NOT)

I’ve put the request to look into a harness system up the flag pole here and I will let you know my findings. IMO a well & properly built roll cage is the true answer for running a 5 point harness and if you are driving these trucks hard enough to feel the need for a harness (unless you have a need like Dave did) you most likely are driving these trucks hard enough to need a cage!

Some of us need a cage just to drive down the street.

I think a lot of people, myself included, would like a roll cage, it's just that it's prohibitively expensive to get one, on top of it most likely ruining the daily driver functions that most of our trucks pull as double duty.

I know in my case, I just want to be held into the seat a little better. That could even be accomplished with something that would lock out the factory intertia reel so the seatbelt would stay tight. I'm just not a big fan of my ass coming off the seat when I hit a bump.

Been a while since I updated this thread....

Some new tube work. This is going to be boxed once the structure is set.

Question,
Can you use Icon 3.0's with the sprung under system?

FYI, My wallet hopes the response is no.

Yes. We designed this kit to work with the OEM shock length in mind. The 3.0" Fox shocks that Dave is running are the same ones he has been running for over a year. Some valving changes and some tune time and they are good to go!

Sweet! Make me nostalgic......

Right!!

Beautiful work as always!

Thanks!
