Rear seat belt upgrade

[frismanis]

I searched, but didn't find anything, so new thread it is!

Has anyone tried upgrading the FJ55 rear seatbelts to 3 point belts? @shayahealth is concerned about safety when hauling around kiddos in the back seat of the Limo, and wants to know if anyone has upgraded the rear seats to shoulder belts.

Thanks.

My 79 came with 3 point belts, although they were non-retractable... As @RUSH55 posted above, I've retrofitted the receivers for inertia reals into the pig body.. 2nd row belts from an 80 series could be cut out and used if you have access to a vehicle being wrecked. There is another thread i'll try and dig up too that has a few other ideas.

Edit; heres the other thread Seat belt question - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/seat-belt-question.751358/page-3#post-13561053

I welded a nut in the Cpillar and attached the retractor to the seat back mounts.

I put this wesco 4 point belt in the back seat... 4 Point Passenger Car SeatBelts - Chrome Buckle - https://www.wescoperformance.com/am4point.html . I can snap some pics tomorrow if interested. it may not be perfect but seems better than just the lap belt it replaced. it obviously wouldn't work with a car seat, but does fine with the simple booster. not sure how big your kids are.

I drill A and B pillar and welded in these anchors. I then bought “Universal” 3 point belts from summit racing. Will post up some pictures shortly.

Thanks for the ideas. For simplicity I'll probably do something similar to what @tstockto posted.

Pretty sure we have verified there are mounts for rear 3-point belts in the roof line under the headliner going all the way back to '69...
