This is exactly why it is technicly illegal (per federal law) for the average joe to upgrade safety stuff. It's a pisser 99% of the cops, and a good 50% of inspectors don't know nor care enough to do anything about it.

I beg to differ I have a nice piece of steel behind that bolt and in a accident its not comming thru. yes it is not DOT but have you seen some of the "factory" anchors they are alot thinner. With this point installed the child seat is solid. Much more solid than without one. I have installed many anchors im my time... all factory...fom the dealer and ther is not much to them and they are DOT approved. Also would it still be DOT if you took one and bent it to fit a truck?? I dont think so.
