Harnesses are great, but i don't think i could deal with the hassle as my
Dak is my only vehicle and obviously my daily driver. But when i get my 4x4
monster, it'll definitely have a couple of 5-point harnesses up front. Too
much bouncing with just the stock belts.
My question is can you install the harnesses on the stock seats? (i have the
40-20-40 bench)
