Install question - rear seat belts

[shanko]

I just discovered that my Japanese HJ61 has lap belts only in the rear. Yikes!
Does anyone know if the HJ C-pillars have mounts for shoulder belts?
Does anyone know how hard it is to install shoulder belts ( I figure it can't be too hard but thought I would ask).
Also, if I am going to install shoulder belts, I thought I might as well use the safest ones I could find. Does anyone know if there are any safety feature differences b/w 60's 80's and 100 series trucks? And will they all fit in my 61?
Thanks,
Sean

you can get rear shoulder belts for the fj-60's. they should bolt right up. i just installed a set in a '87 fj-62 (this year model did not come stock with shoulder belts).

That's a shame, Because Iam concerned about your safety of your family, Iam going to offer you a even trade for my FJ62 - which does have rear belts!

Do a search here on mud, there is some install threads about this. I did this on my last fj62, and I might even have a set of rear FJ60 shoulder belts for you in my parts stash...

That's weird that you mentioned a trade because I was wondering if someone would be willing to trade trucks. Riggggghhtttt!

Did you want me to look for those rear belts? Your interior is grey?

Thanks Mark, but Jason (Arcteryx) has a set for me. If they don't work out for whatever reason I will let you know.
Thanks again, Sean
