My Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40

Rear seat belt install

Well I had to do it, Drill four nice holes in the rear floor for the mounting of the rear seat belts. I had been looking for seat belts trying to decide what to do and how to mount them. I looked on line and read a little about how to secure the belts. I found a little bit of information here and there. I also was trying to go with OEM toyota seat belts but then after pricing them out , I figured it not going to really matter to me that much to have cheap-o seat belts as long as they hold people in. So I ran down to the local auto zone and started looking. Now the staff there had no idea if they had them in stock or not. So I looked and looked and was about to give up when I spotted them on the wall behind a chrome built shifted (YEA). So I was pleased to find that not only did I get the seat belts but also all the mounting hardware too. All for $15 bucks. great deal in my book...

So I go started right away and forgot to take some pictures of the process. but here are some anyway. I measured and drilled four holes , filled them down a little, then painted the top and underside with Rust zero. Let dry , then inserted bolts and tightened everything down. These things are stout and I would not worry about them ever pulling through. Then I mounted up the kids car seats , loaded up the wife and we all went for our first family BJ40 ride.... What a great feeling to see the smiles on the kids faces. The wife even said that she enjoyed it. Now she is asking about how we can fix that cruiser lean. : - )
