Blazer Owners: Where to Buy Roll Bars - Headache Racks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Since I posed the question about rigging a 3-point seatbelt or harness system in my Blazer it appears the best way of doing this is by utilizing a roll bar or headache rack.

Since the Blazer is 2WD and street driven only, I'm only looking for something to protect me in the rare event of a rollover. I don't want something made from extra large gauge metal or large diamter.

I'd obviously need something that would be compact enough to fit under the top. I would want it to be either black, chrome, or white. I would also be interested if it came pre-rigged for a 3-point seatbelt. It would also be nice if it were a kit I could install myself.

Your best bet is to adapt something to the holes in the top. A 4 point harness would require a cross bar behind the seats to mount the shoulder straps to. That would significantly limit the access to the back seat, especially if your truck is lifted. Smittybuilt makes a bolt in 4 point bar and a weld-in conversion for a cage.
