'84 K5 Build (Midlife Crisis)

[Fastereddie]

sorry, for some reason my post was duplicated so I deleted one but they both deleted

anyway, I was saying that those retractable belts are going to lock all the time (off camber/bumpy terrain etc.) anyway so whats the point of having them? I use my lap belt only on light trail riding and most rock crawling and with the tube doors and bigger tj mirrors I can see fine. If it's a sketchy obstacle I'll use my shoulder belts and in that situation I usually have a spotter anyway. Most of the time we're driving by braille anyway, a retractable belt isn't going to change that.

Good points

Anyone run or think about running the retractable four point shoulder harnesses? I like being fully strapped in, but hate the fact I can’t lean out the window to see where the hell i’m going.

I have these in a TJ, I like them.

I have the PRP 4.3's in my k5. I never once have wanted them to come loose. I have seat sliders so I just slide the seat back to loosen the harnesses. I am vertically challenged though.

Yeah he’s cool. From Colorado. Still full frame, but gutted and tubed. Did a pretty good job dove-tailing the front end too.

Most trucks could never do what your truck did in this climb without ripping an axle or driveshaft out of their rig. I know my Crew Cab would. Was @muddysub there at the bump n hump with his Toy?

Thanks, that’s my goal. I want it to stay together even when I beat on it a little. No, he is still buttoning it up.

The old flooded batteries crapped out, so I figured I’d give the agm’s a try. 100 bucks cheaper ea. than the Oddesey.
