    I'm building a dedicated desert runner and wanting to get some halo seats for safety. Im eyeballing the Sparco Circuit 2 or Momo Daytina XL.

    Has anyone ever fit one of these seats in our trucks or know if halo seats fit? The stock seat has about 2 inches between the seat and door in the Access cabs but I don't know if it's enough or not.

    How tall are you? I use a sparco seat in my 08 using sparco sliders, etc

    If i slide the seat all the way back, the widest point of the seat (headrest area) will rub onto the B pillar. If the halo part is wider than that, it wont clear for sure.

    The widest point of the sparco circuit 2 appears similar to my sparco seat.

    @Oggy I'm 5'9 and here's my Sparco non-halo.

    This is my sitting position. Notice where the upper headrest is near the B pillar.

    Here's how tight it is to the center console.

    The widest part of the upper portion of my seat is about 22-23". Hopefully, the halo part is narrower.

    Hope this information helps your build!

    Luckily we have a shop that lets you sit in seats before buying, I think I'll ask if I can mock up the seat and see how it sits. Or else I might just ditch the halo seats.
