Long Travel BS Thread

Should I route my harnesses through the slot under the head rest? Also been reading on other forums that the harness bar should be above your shoulders or level?? I thought slighty below. Mine is slightly above and I feel like it makes it so I can move up out of my seat a little too much

 

Seats look like this

 

I'm late to the driveline talk but you definitely want to keep it 2 piece. And pick up a Inland empire driveline carrier bearing. You only need small modifications to fit it and they are bomb proof and quiet. Stay away from the solid carrier bearings.

 

Needs to be below



How I mounted mine

 

Small modifications to the driveshaft itself or the carrier bearing mount/crossmember?

Got a part number by chance?

 

Are your seats on a slider?

Hmm that's intersting the way the harness bar is. I like it though

 

Small modification to the crossmember. As for the drive shaft just have a slip yolk added to yours is cheap and easy especially if you bring the shop a 4wd bottom half from a junk yard. I'll sent you the part number tomorrow, that website is not phone friendly

 

No they are solid mounted. I did the harness mounts that way because of the 3rd seat.

 

Should I go through that hole in the seat or like this? I get tired of fishing my harness from behind the seats..lol

 

Not a fan of the single hole seats but it's better then the harness slipping down the side of the seat in an accident

 

not really a fan either, i want new seats but i want ones that dont sit any higher than these. Yeah i noticed that it feels like they wanna slip .

 

I'm interested in the part number also! Sub'd

 

Sounds good man. I appreciate it

 

I went with none suspension seats for many reasons but one perk is you can mount them as low as you want. I'm 6'4" and have so much head room even with a 2" cage. It's a tundra but still.

 

Do most seat brand have the same "bolt pattern"?

 

Suspension seats yes... None suspension no

 

I have dmz spring under and have yet to modify my drive shaft, I do have it strapped a couple inches shorter than I could. I think its strapped at like 16" instead of 18". Its on my to do list and I probably shouldve done it while I had the driveshaft out to replace the U joints last week, doh

 

I guess the harnesses are almost 0 degrees...but the harnesses aren't long enough to go through the hole in the seats and reach the c pillar lol

 

Yes and yes
