    Just noticed this and it clicked that you don't have a harness bar either, so where exactly will the harness's attach? On each of the diagonals?

    Yes... the greatness of harness tabs...

    There's are threaded tabs on the down-tubes behind each each seat that will accept an eye bolt. The harness just clips to that.

    Oh I see them now. I didn't know they were threaded holes. Are there ones that you can weld in place on the downtubes that the harness clips to? That's what I thought harness tabs were.

    Thanks man...

    I'm looking for some eye bolts that screw into the harness tabs (and the lower anchor points) so I can mount a harness.

    I remember installing my HDHTDD rollbar several years back. Took a little time, but well worth it. I installed mine specifically for DEs and it worked great. Of course, I then turned my car into a spec miata and sold my rollbar to a fellow DEer..

    Looks great!! Be proud, be very proud!!

    If you want to take the roll bar out you could always weld a harness bar to the roll bar itself and not need the eye-bolts.

    ROFLMAO... that sucker ain't comin' out for nothin'...

    Eye bolts will be just fine.

    Here are the final pics after I trimmed the deck plate and got the carpet back in. BTW, I went to Home Depot a while back and got a big chunk of house carpet padding to replace the worn-out mess underneath the deck carpet.

    Well, that and BR reminded me to trim the metal to leave room for the harness tabs.
