Sorry, thought I'd attached this. I don't have any pictures because I literally just shoved the box as shipped in the closet and ignored it since I didn't have a vehicle. It's OEM NOS, so it's not like a picture is going to show anything special. Part NO's 73220-60270-BO Front Left Blue...

I have a complete set -drivers passenger front and back seat (no third row). All brand new - I bought them thinking I was buying an 80 and didn't want to run into the situation I did with my FJ62 where they were no longer available. Turns out that is not going to happen, so I have no need for...

Back when I had my Taco, I bought some Corbeau XRS reclining suspension seats - I couldn't install them because of the airbag sensors in the seats that I was not willing to bypass. Then I got my FJ62 and bought some slider seat mounts to install them, and it turned out they didn't fit the FJ62...

If you search it was talked about way back when, it's fairly common on leaf sprung vehicles. The issue if I recall correctly, and it's been years, is the same as caster plates, you can only turn so far before you hit the tie rod on the radius arms. The Slee arms are designed to position the axle...

Meh, there are plenty of photos around of my old truck doing heavier workk than that with the brackets.

As a data point - abet from an insurance claim - my 1989 FJ62 with 234,000 miles a 10 year old bad macco paint job, leaky rear main and other leaks, OME suspension and 33"bfg's and interco birddog rims (about 4 grand in add ons in last 6 months) totaled out for 13566 - 13-something for truck us...

I got stuck in that situation once. Now I keep a log of who I talk to and when and what was said. Ocassionally I record the conversation. If it was good enough for trickie Dick, it's good enough for me.

Was going to say the same thing. Having just had my 62 totaled, what you paid is certainly irrelevant. Check auto trader. That's what my insurance company did (not sure where at fault company came up with theirs). Bad part about that is one day autotrader will have three over 20k, and the next...

Ya, just found out I have a TFC tear - surgery may be in my future.

I thought they would be required to keep them available as well. Then again, is 26 years beyond the expected life if a vehicle. I mean we all think the expected life of a Land Cruiser to be infinity plus 1, but is is reasonable to expect Toyota to have all seatbelts available for all cars...

If they or I were able to source seatbelts I would have been fine with repairing it and since I already had a spare bumper and would have been fine with used body parts I would have pocketed a few dollars - maybe enough to have the whole truck painted. I had about 11k into the truck with...

They won't volunteer to replace the seat belts. But do any reading online or just look in your owner's manual. They're not going to inform you of what you need or what you are entitled to, they are going to try to get off cheap as possible. That's part of why this adjuster is so pissy with me...

Just re-read thread - to recap the facts - 1. All seat belts in use at time of severe impacr should be replaced. Check owners manual, that's what it says. 2. At least these two insurance companies would not do custom belts - Shelter and United Home Insurance. 3. If belts are not available -...

I would say they are tuned to the vehicle in as much as they are crash tested that way. Big issue with the 62 rear belts is that they use a different mounting system, two bolts rather than 1. I think you could probably take the assembly apart by drilling out rivits and make it work. The...
