i love those seats atomic.

the evo9's would look bad ***. just have to remember the seatbelt issue. you won't have one, and ocala knows that 4 or 5 points aren't dot legal, besides the fact you need something to attach them to.

To make these seats work I welded up some 3/16" steel frames and drilled holes that I am currently using for the harness....in the future I will get a cage and attach them there, like they should be.

35 a piece I believe, but I overbuilt the brackets because I knew I would be using them to secure the harness for now, so the total weight is about the same.

those seats look good but they seem bulky in a small truck, but im just so picky, i want something that not really going to look bulky, and i have a feeling the seats will look dumb once there in, because of how high they will need to be mounted !

as for the seat belts, i can make something that will work for the harness, and my truck doesnt get drove everyday, and you cant even see in my truck, so i will take a chance on not using the DOT legal seat belts. until i can figure out a solution
