you can bolt it to the 2 bolts that hold the shoulder belt to the cab. it will probably have to be a stretched out "u" shape but would be a safe structural point to do it.

or fabricate an internal roll bar (or cage since it's inside the truck) and bolt to that

harnesses need to be secured to a rollbar. there is nothing factory in the truck that the harness can be attached to.
it wouldn't be worth having a rollcage built and installed just to mount a $40 harness to it. now, having a rollcage is completely worth it's weight in gold and would obviously be a great thing to have, and as an extra you would have a great place to mount a harness. but it's not really logical the other way.
i would expect a custom (cause they all would be) rollcage for a ranger to be in the $500-$1000 range.....unless you can cut, bend, notch, and weld DOM tubing yourself.

i was lookin in the truck and there seems to be a structual bar taht runs horizontal a few inches below the window on the back of the cab, now i have not looked at this yet and taken off the interior panneling but i think it is structual bar at least. can anyone confirm this?
also untill i get the roll cadge what about a welded bar that runs at the right hight fabbed to the sides of teh truck
or
what about drilling trew the back of the cab and into metal plates on the out side of the cab between the cab and bed box so the bolt would go threw the back of the cab into a thick plate on the outside of the truck making it quite a bit stronger??
??
anything like this work??

you could build a hoop that runs from the floor(with plates on the floor that bolt to plates under the cab, that are connected to the frame) and have the bar come up as high as you need it to. that would be the simplest way as far as doing an inside bar would go.
i wouldnt weld a bar to the sheet metal and use a mount off that, IMO that would just tear the sheet metal in a wreck
