interior modifications

You may want to do some research on harness mounting before you make a bad decision.

Having a seatbelt mounted to the back of the seat is just going to tie you to the seat, which if you hit hard enough can tear out of the mounts & turn you into a projectile. If your set on 5 points, build a cage, or at the least a roll bar loop behind the seats.

Plus, along the lines of the mounting points......if you build a cage into the body, it isn't very structural, and if you mount the harnesses too low, it can compress your spine on impact..

calmini designed that interior cage for the hardbody/pathfinder. too bad they didnt put it into production

Building a roll cage isnt all that hard...but you should take your time doing it...

Hardest part is getting the tubing bent nicely and evenly, and getting the intersections cut so they fit flush and are strong.....

 

Triangulation and gusseting are the key to a strong cage.
