    3 point has a Y for shoulder straps.
    4 point has an H for the shoulder straps
    5 point add in the anti submarine strap, also refered to as a vasectomy
    strap ;-)

    Only the window hoop needs to be external. Hoop behind the driver and a
    third at the rear are pretty easy to fab. I recommend changing the
    outriggers that the front of the tub mounts to for the strongest set up.
    I also recomend strengthening, replacing or adding a second bulkhead
    outrigger for the front hoop.
    I am working on a full external cage for an 88 currently. This is for a
    factory stock framed vehicle. Includes rock sliders and a front bushbar.
    Representation of the design is on my webpage.
