Then bright white it is for the cage!!!

Awesome progression! I went with GMT900 power seats out of an 08 Tahoe since I use 5 point harnesses attached to the cage. Not an ideal option for daily driving, but the extra room around the rollcage and comfier (to me) seats make it a nice change.

Looks good! Sold my GMT900 and don't recall.... I'm guessing the factory shoulder harness is not integrated into those seats? I want to keep the the street legal factory belts as well as a harness.

Yeah the newer trucks use the b pillar mounted lower belt retractor and upper pivot mount with seat mounted latch. I was going to add those to my truck but laws in my area are easy to get around. So I just use the 5 points.

Finished product looks good. Painting it isn't going to be fun though.
