Seatbelt options for Jimmy's and Blazer's..?
Hi all,
I was really hoping to use the 3-point retractable seatbelts in my Jimmy 4x4 but realized there is no attachment point high enough to drop down over my shoulder like in a car or truck. Unfortunately, I do not have a rollbar so I am wondering what some of you may have come up with to resolve this critical issue... BTW, I was lucky enough to score some great Corbeau seats (CR1's) http://www.corbeau.com/products/reclining_seats/cr1/ from a guy for $225.00 in perfect shape.. So if anyone you have those as well and came up with something that might slide through to the two holes at the top of the seat, then let me know or better yet, provide some pics of the setup.. Thanks in advance...

I just use the stockers and don't worry about it. Shucks I've been driving old cars with just lap belts for 30+ years, don't see a reason to change now
![]() With a removable top, it would be a nuisance unless you attached it to a roll bar like you mentioned. I'm not sure if I have a double wall or single wall top, but I don't see any attachments for shoulder belts, nor have I ever seen any on a first gen blazer. |

I see that you already purchased some seats, but one option I've seen and thought about are the seats from a wrecked '03-'06 tahoe. The 3 point belts are integrated into the seat.

I think I will work on the rollbar aspect and see what I can find locally, they are very few and far between...

All I care to use are lap belts. I don't worry about what I can't control. If it happens it happens. I even own a couple cars (pre 68) that never came with any belts (at all) At that point it was still an option on cars. Guess I'm living on the edge ![]() |

Since ours is a daily ride and I haul the family with it, we are constantly getting in and out of the back. After driving cars for 30 years with just lap belts,,,,,tripping over shoulder belts would be a new concept ![]() |

Re: Seatbelt options for Jimmy's and Blazer's..?
Did you mount them on the original seat rails or use the ones that came with the 2006 set..? Do you have any pics..?
