    Harness bar

    Okay so I have been kicking around the n idea of putting in harness in my 07 rhino stock seats right now but I want to retain the use of my dump bed but I'm starting to get the felling that I won't be able to do that I emailed black rhino performance about there's but I guess they don't make it anymore so I guess my question is what is everyone else running and can you still use the dump bed

    I have made two bars for this very thing and the bed will still dump if you mount the bar a few inches over the top of bed. I used some 1 3/4 tubing IIRC and on mine I did a 90 degree welded corner with about 7" long vertical piece and a 2 x 2 angle welded to end and drilled to mount to the stock seat belt bolt holes ( used the same bolts). On another I used a tube with a 5/16" steel plate about 2" wide x 7 to 8" at right angle to tube and drilled for mounting as above. The second effort was easiest. I painted/coated bed liner to match rest of frame. Wrap harnesses around as per the NASCAR type strap mount. I cut a 1 1/2" pvc pipe about 3" long and split in a C shape that I painted black and put over the strap mount that keeps it from slipping around. Let me know if you want some pics and I will try to take and post.

    I felt challenged to do the pics so hope this helps. I have had problem previously on photos and I think it because I take all my business photos at full resolution but the forum will only take so many pixels. Not sure but this seemed to work OK.
    As you may see I also used harness bar for Fire Extinguisher mount. My new Beard seats are about same height as stock so no appreciable difference.
