A rep from Corbeau called me this afternoon about the air bag sensors. They have a new bracket for the passenger side coming out next week that has mounting points for the sensors. He told me that if I'll send mine back, they will swap it out for the new one. These seats are very comfortable and hold you from moving around. These would be great for tall people needing more room. The seats are lower and slide back further. I climbed into the back seat and the bar isn't in the way. I just left it at the shop to have the dif covers and the Viair installed. Pictures tomorrow night or Friday.

The harness bar was a major pita to install. It didn't come with directions, just hardware. The hardest part was holding the bar in place to mark the holes for drilling. I did this by myself. But if you want to do something bad enough, you'll figure out a way. Once I got the holes drilled and fitting the way I wanted, I painted it with Rustoleum. You also have to trim the panels on each side to fit over the bar. I bought belts that wrap around the bar and the lap belt bolts to the floor. Bought some brackets from Summit Racing that I bolted to seat holes in the floor. I just planned everything out in advance, and had everything here before the seats arrived. Thanks to Dave at Northridge for helping me get them here asap. Weather forcast for this weekend looks great.

I think that might make new seats totally worth it! I'm 6'6" and fit comfortably, but an extra inch or two of legroom would be sweet.

I'm 6' and if I put the seat all the way back, I can't reach the pedals. It's both the seat and bracket. The seat is thinner and the bracket longer. If you look at the harness bar picture with the Jeep seats, the seat is against the bar. The Corbeau sit approx. 2" away.

Did you try to get into your jeep from the front door????? It looks like you have a 4 door and i have a 2 door so getting into the rear seat would be a problem with that bar in the way.....was there any other way to get the seatbelts to work????
