Great photos. Thank everybody for throwing some pics up. Much appreciated. Would love to find some good 62 gray belts but I'm probably gonna have go the seatbeltsplus options. OEM stuff is getting tough to find.
@4Cruisers - It's old La Bajada Hill, SW of Santa Fe. This section was the 1926-1932 alignment of RT66.

That's one area I was thinking of. BTW, that section of road will be part of my upcoming leg of the FJ40 Cross Country Expedition. Interesting history about that route, even much earlier. It was part of El Camino Real History & Culture - El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail (U.S. National Park Service), from Mexico City to Ohkay Owingeh (San Juan Pueblo), at the confluence of the Rio Chama and Rio Grande, north of present day Espanola. The route of El Camino Real was essentially defined in 1598. In researching old La Bajada Hill I learned something new about a northern New Mexico place name that I've wondered almost for a long time, Rio Arriba County. La Bajada, which defines the lower end of White Rock Canyon on the Rio Grande, was the geographic feature that separated the Rio Abajo (the "Lower River") section of New Mexico from Rio Arriba (the "Upper River") section.
Hey Everybody,
I installed some universal seatbelts from seatbeltsplus.com in the rear of my '89 FJ62, but they don't retract all the way because the recoil assembly is higher up in the rear. Any ideas on how to get them to retract all they way?
Thanks!

Photos?
Sorry, forgot about this post. Here is a photo of where the seatbelt stops....it doesn't retract any further. Any ideas on how to get it to retract all the way?
What do they measure fully extended at the retractor all they way to the anchor bolt?
I wonder if they won’t retract any more because they are longer than they need to be for that use. My guess is they are front belt lengths as the fronts are longer due to the lower mounting locations.
