Anyone use something other than stock seat belts?

Just got back from another day of wheeling and am about to rip the stock seat belts out. Every time I am on a steep incline the stock belts lock up and I cannot look out the door. What can I replace these *^%*& things with? and what do you use instead of stock belts. Pics if ya got em.... thx

I have installed 5 point harnesses and changed out my seats. Its a little bit of a hassel but I am still in my jeep. The wife thinks its a bit of a bondage think. Thats ok to. Check out my photos if you can. Rock that 2.5

I take the shoulder strap behind the head rest so I can lean out, while keeping the lap part connected.
Maybe not so safe, but not being able to see straight over the hood scares me.
I like to know when the top of the hill goes left, right, or straight ahead and looking out the window helps me.

I have recently replaced the front drivers side seat belt with an aftermarket from seatbeltpros.com
AMSAFE Retractable Lap & I-3207 Shoulder Seat Belt 120"
It bolted right up to the stock belt points, but it is a little hard to pull out to buckle (have to pull it forward instead of across). I got used to it. $60.

My trick is to expand my chest or arch my back a little bit, so that when the belt locks up in rough spots I can let it retract a bit and unlock. The computer does everything else, it'd be nice if it could somehow disable the inertial reels at speeds <5mph.

Moved this here because it can benifit all model wranglers.


Myself, I installed a striaght strap lap belt. No retractor or anything. Just a simple lap belt. But for street driving I still have the 3 point shoulder belt installed.

I may do this too, until I get new seats and some 3 or 5-pt harnesses. the stock belts drive me NUTS offroad

I looked on Quadratec they have a few 2 point systems but the only 3 point system I could find is this

http://www.quadratec.com/products/24248_30X_PG.htm
Maybe someone on here has used it and can post up their opinion on it

Here is a 2 point one that is on there too.

I cut one of my back seat belt clips out. I just put that clip in the drivers seat female part and that stupid red light goes right out. Never have to worry about a thing.
