With phase I of our cage project finished it was time to get started on phase II which included building a racing seats frame assembly/cage tie-in and the addition of a B-pillar cross bar. The old stock seating configuration out lived it's usefulness by at least three years so we were very anxious to remove and upgrade our seating situation. In fact, after standing our Blazer on it's rear racing seats while four wheeling, the passenger seat broke and was no longer able to stay in the full upright position, it was now in permanent recline mode

Racing Seats

We were looking for a quality non-reclining racing seats that would allow us to utilize a 5-point harness restraint system yet be comfortable on a dusty 10 hour trail. In our quest to find the seats that would fit our needs the name racing seats or PRP racing seats for short kept coming up and they were getting rave reviews, when we compared PRP's racing seats pricing to the competition, they were usually much lower. We also liked that PRP racing seats will work with you and build a "custom" seat that truly fits your needs... and your bottom. You will not get stuck with the "manufacturer's recommended" color schemes, PRP racing seats offers an extensive selection of color's and fabric types to satisfy your need.

While searching for seats we had heard that with the hi-sided seats the piping on the sides can catch on clothing etc. while entering and exiting so we ordered ours without the piping, once again, they had no problems making the seats to "our" specs. PRP has many styles to choose from but we liked the graduate school Competition high back racing seats for the driver and passenger containment as well as the ability to run our RCI 5-point harness setup. We also opted for their sliders so the seats could be quickly positioned between drivers, PRP racing seats also sells tabs if you wanted to simply bolt them in a fixed location. We ordered our seats in "classic" all black and they showed up on our door about two weeks later looking for a new home.

Installation
Before we could install the new racing seats we had to build a tube frame and tie it into the cage along with lap belt mounts and add a tube to the B-pillar which would serve as a mounting point for the shoulder harnesses. After the tube was purchased we headed over to T.J's ) house to design and weld up what would become the new racing seats seating attachment point, I'm thinking he will never tell anyone he has a welder and a racing seats little free time for quite a while.
