I confirmed the seat belt bolt size of 7/16x20 and ordered a couple of these.

I have a whole slew of different sizes. The ones listed are pretty big. Much bigger than I had hoped.

I wanted an eye hole of at least 1" to accommodate my 1" tree straps. The McMaster Carr eye bolts were perfect. I just hope they arrive before next Friday.
Those are interesting. Seems like you could use them and still keep the seat belts if you cut a hole in the seat belt cover. I might try it with the third row.
You could definitely keep the seat belts using this bolt. I just replaced it and it's definitely the right size. Accepts a large carabiner which I use on the end of my 1" nylon straps. I picked it up at the local speed shop as a kit with nuts and huge fender bolts. It's Grade 8 and about the same length as bolt I pulled out. I don't have to tighten it all the way for tie down and out use unless I was replacing the seat belt too.
Amazon carries the RaceQuip eye bolts in long and short versions. Enjoy!

Much appreciated links.
I went to Kern River to camp for a night. Put the new mod to good use.
The description on Amazon looks wrong, because they call them 5/8" rings. I figured I'd buy one based on Dissent's post (and it being the same part number retrofive located on the RaceQuip site. It turns out the Amazon link is a usable part. The hole in the ring is 5/8", but the threaded bolt is 7/16"x20 (as Dissent said and others confirmed is the correct bolt pattern for the seat belts). As shown in Dissent's pictures, the eye fits a climbing carabiner.
Perhaps I should check the local speed shop for pricing. Two for the price sounds better than "each". I think I'm going to get carried away with these rings. I plan to replace the top bolt from the 3rd row seats with the short rings. I cut a hole through the plastic panel in back to replace the bolt that held in the rear seat belt retractor. I may do the same with the second seat seatbelts, except keeping the seatbelts and retractors, and just using these rings in place of the factory bolts.
I like the idea of using the retractor locations for another set. Thanks for making me spend another $10.
Great video demo. I've got the side zip model without the bottom entrance which lets me flip back the mosquito netting to sleep under the stars.
