How do you like the 3Gs so far?

I like them but there are some pro and cons for sure.
Pros: They are very comfortable and getting even better as they break in. With the harnesses you defiantly do not move around at all. They are very easy to get into.
Cons. On a long drive it’s hard to move around to just reposition yourself. (I drove it back to Nor Cal and I was on the road for about six hours and would be nice to just move around in the seat) you have to loosen the lap belt to move. They are tough to get out of. I wish I had put a grab handle on the left A pillar which would have been a huge help in getting out of the truck.
As far as the harnesses, it’s like riding a motorcycle and having to put your helmet on every time. Not a huge inconvenience but a hassle when you are just running around town.

Very well done! The exterior looks awesome by itself. Lucky man to have all those great items on your truck. Keep up the mods and keep sharing.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you think a stock belt configuration could still be used with them or would the lap belt sit too high off the bolsters? I guess if you're fat enough, it could in theory but I've got a few more cases of beer to get through over the years before I get to that point!

I'm seriously contemplating swapping out my Twisted Stitch seats for the 3Gs after briefly sitting in one last week.
