After they replaced your injector, did they have to resync the rack?

The work is in progress. The fuel system on the 3116 is a mess. Like 28 steps to running the overhead with about 9,000 dollars in special tools.
I will fill in the dollars when they are known.

The overhead is a breeze with the Carpenter-Meyer kit.

Wow, that’s amazing. I can’t even find anyone to work on mine around here. I tell them I have a 3116 and they go ghost on me.

I probably would have had the same problem, but I manage a large truck fleet. I send them lots of other work to do.
They have an old guy (like me), that enjoys working on them. The LMTV has really good access compared to many other applications. They did not have to change the injector, just readjust the injector timing and tweak the rack settings. So, I really lucked out.

Those seats are fine, where did you find those?
[/QUOTE]
The seats carry the designation GS-1, available on some 2011-up MOPAR performance vehicles or through JEGS P/N 70245.

I don't think I have my old SCORE rule book on shoulder harness mount angles, but that certainly looks within the proper range.
From an engineering standpoint, a front impact is going to do it's best to pull the bar forward. I would add one additional brace on the side that runs perfectly horizontal forward to the "B" pillar (or ideally add one that angles down 90° from the upper forming a "V"). That would provide your front impact hold against the encountered forces. It looks like you may have put bends in the sides behind the seats where I'm talking about tapping into the main span, though.
Just tossing it out there. I know that you don't really plan to race it, but brakes, steering, and harnesses are the three things I always over-engineered on a car.
btw, your notching looks good. You doing that by hand or with a notcher or by hand?

The TruckTrial rulebook is silent on harness attachment, but yes, the angles are set according to harness manufacturer recommendations. We certainly were not going to attach to the floor like we see some do to get thru tech. There is some more gusseting going on, will update you when its complete.
A commercial notcher was used.
I agree with you: margin is my most favorite thing.
The most likely "event" scenario would be a flop over at less than 5 MPH, worst might be an endo while descending. I'm not convinced I have the cojones to put myself in those situations though.
Thank you for taking the time to author a thoughful reply, I appreciate it.

Nice vid. It's got that "happenin" professional quality of the Russian vids posted by USSR.
The snap-shot style of progress shots in the beginning part of the vid were good.

I replaced the super rope on the bed cover. I got the rope from McMaster. 5/16 EPDM
