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 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. Dan

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 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.
