looks good!

i like the harness slots, lol, but you basically cant open the compartment like carbon right?

 

i can open it, but not very far up.
im still working on something to clean the harness slots up real nice.

i was just gonna wrap the carpet but it wasnt long enough to wrap through and make it all the way underneath to get stapled and glued. the holes wouldve had to be about 2 inches bigger and i didnt want them that big.

 

Cory I dont know if this would help your situation with the seat belts at all. But what you could do is cut a T for each side of the harness into the wood. With the lines that are allready cut, make another one perpindicular to the edge of the plywood. That way you can slide the harnesses out of the top of the wood, then you could easily lift up the top portion. Just and idea I thought of and wanted to share it with you.

 

looks good so far....should look a lot better after you get the harness slots cleaned up

 

Neither of you guys thought to cover up the rear cupholders? They look kinda retarded back there since there is no seat.

 

I like how i was just trying to sketch out some ideas in my head for something like this...... and i found this hahaha nice job

 

no, because that makes it sit even higher which means youd have to add some sort of spacer to the rear portion to make everything level.

also ill prob still use the rear cup holders, i dont like having drinks up front, makes it harder to shift.

 

gotcha...

 

and i also just realized, if you were to cover up that whole section, the top board would end up to far forward so youd have to make the piece in my pics that isnt carpeted yet extend all the way down to the floor instead of only halfway.

 

so is your rear seat delete just to do something different bro (hoodie) .... or are you looking for weight savings?
just curious.

 

well i originally took the rear seat out just so i didnt have to lug ppl around and drive everywhere. then i got my seats and harnesses so the rear seat wasnt really an option anyways.

its mainly just to cover up the ugly floor and make things look clean. ive always been a fan of function AND form.

and the wood is only 3/8 so its not really that heavy, if i were to measure everything id say i def. ended up loosing weight vs. adding more.

 

that's cool man.... it does look nice.... just thought I'd ask... as for me though, if someone asked to sit in the back of my baby I'd tell them to go drive their own damn car LOL....

I do see some diff. versions of people using harness restraints though... some like yours and others utilizing a bar that looks like it attaches across at the C-Pillar. Any advantage of one over the other bro?

 

yea, attaching it to a roll cage is actually your best bet. its all about the angle that its mounted. attaching it to a c-pillar bar is about the worst thing you can do, itll never hold up in the event of an accident.

 

yeah that makes sense... I didnt know how strong those bars were... I've just seen it done...but not in person.

 

yea, check this out. this explains everything pretty well.

Nice.... I've always wanted to do a harness setup for mine... just no pile of cash layin' around for the seats to go with them. lol

 

hey hoodie! you want a c pillar bar? already tried it! cant install cuz airbags are in the way and they cover the bolts for the 08's.

 

Menace.... if you're referring to the one that you can attach a harness to.... he was telling me that he thought they were not strong enough for that....but if it's a brace bar...that might be different

 

o ok...my mistake. i just notice he wants just the pillars. i thought he wanted to get the bar...and he's rite. the c pillar wouldnt hold proper. especially in a accident

 

it's just for reducing chassis flex like the front and rear tower braces right? .... well toss in front and rear sways too... I've got those too.. lol... damn near zero body roll... those things are a great investment IMO
