Question "Harness Bar" manufacturers??

Do any of you know of a manufacturer that makes harness bars for F150's?

Plenty of them out there for cars. Can't find one for our trucks.



Thanks

Maybe you know it by another name.

The bar is what the shoulder belts of a harness attach to or pass through when a full cage isn't present.

Here's an example on another vehicle...

No, its not a roll cage, but thank you.

Its used when a full cage isn't there.

Its only purpose is to keep shoulder harness straps at a point lower than your shoulders.

Sometimes the shoulder straps of a 5 point harness are attached directly to them.

It doesn't provide any rollover protection at all.

They make these for Mustangs, Ferrari's, Subaru's, etc but not F150's that i can find.

I generally don’t like having a harness in a car without a roll cage. It prevents you from getting out of the way if the car rolls and the roof deflects.

old, i know but still a falsity out there in space for others to receive wrong or misleading information!

The harness bar not providing any chassis stiffing isn't 100% true! It most definitely, does stiffen the lateral movement and flatter through the curves however so slightly, still an improvement!
