I'm looking for a pair of 5 point harnesses. The seat belts in my rail have had it. Thanks.[/list]

Sheesh ya cheapskate my RJS 3" 5 points were under $150 for the pair.
Its not like you are potentially asking a harness to save your life in a rollover so I see why you want something cheap and used...

It's more a case of lack of funds and want something better then what I have.

So buy one for the drivers side and I'll donate some rope for the passenger side.

4 points are alot cheaper, unless you get link n latch, looks like a royal pita. Camlocks are cool.

Camlocks are sweet as long as you keep them away from dirt. If you have an issue using latch & links you need to rethink your choice of hobby.

Guess if its a offroad only rig it's fine. Just for me I will be driving mine onroad, not a DD, but still a 4 point would be much easier to use. Just pop off and on with a belt latch.

Unless the shoulder straps are retractable like a standard seatbelt they aren't road legal. Will I rock the 5 point onroad without worry? Yup but that doesn't mean I won't ever be hassled about them.

Road legal......... My samurai isn't road legal.
I drive by 2-3 cops a night from work (richland to kennewick) and never been hassled that my tires stick out 5". I run mud flaps, and I think they see that and give me a break.
May sound ignorant, but I could care less about road legal. I dont speed, or do anything stupid to catch attention and 5 pt harness, cage and cage mounted seats, a little more safe than a stock rig.
Sorry about hijacking your thread.

I have Sabelt 4pts in my Jeep with an automotive style latch. . . While they are simple to operate, I just don't like them. If you really want to cinch them down, the lap belt comes up too high without the sub belt.
5pts are good! I can get in and out of the ones in the race truck without issue even with the head and neck restraint and helmet on (Blind).
