Nothing too original here, as there are several threads on this, but I recently did the rear retractable shoulder belt install from an FJ62 in to my FJ60.
I did not see any other threads that had pictures of the trim pieces added, so here's what I did.
My truck is an 87 without the threaded pillar hole. Don't let that stop you. It is very do-able.
Here's the supplies I needed for the job:
A used set of seat belts in very good condition with the 2 trim pieces from Ebay. I paid about $65.00. You can find them in the classified section here, at cruiserparts.net (about $300.00), or other places. If you want new OEM retractable belts, you can find them from Cruiserdan at American Toyota or other dealers.
For the basic mechanics of it, I used the technique that flybynight described here:

I used seat belt hardware I had left over from another vehicle project from Wesco Performance: Seat Belt Hardware
You will need the 3 point retractable hardware mounting kit and a 212 mounting kit or source high grade nuts and washers on your own.
Metric wrench set
Dremel with cutoff wheels
Utility knife
Straight edge
Fast steel Epoxy putty (RIP Billy Mayes)
Wire and fishing line to thread the upper anchor attachment
3M double sided sticky tape
Standard shop safety tools- eye and ear protection, etc.
About 4-6 hours
