Ditto!

The only other option would be black

Paul72 · 05-30-2005, 01:16 PM

The only option in my mind is satin black, unless it's chrome. When I do finally get one, it will be black (on a green blazer with white interior).

How does orange look where do you put the passenger seat belt at when you have a rollbar

LUV2XCLR8 · 05-30-2005, 05:41 PM

Not sure what you mean by passenger seat belt

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 05-30-2005, 05:42 PM

maybe I will paint it the same color as the seats

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 05-30-2005, 05:45 PM

The passenger seat belt bolts to the back floor right where the roll bar bolts to the floor

71jimmy · 05-30-2005, 08:39 PM

The passenger belt bolts to the raised piece that separates your front floor with the rear. I have the same roll bar (only satin black, hehe), no prob mounting the factory belt.

HatGuy · 05-30-2005, 11:29 PM

Powder coated mine gloss black on a white blazer.
Lots of complements.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 05-31-2005, 08:24 AM

71jimmy can you get me a pic where you seat belt the retractable one thanks gary

71jimmy · 05-31-2005, 12:23 PM

Might take me awhile to take a pic, it's stuffed in the garage right now and would need to take it out to get a good angle for a pic.

blazerparts · 05-31-2005, 06:00 PM

the passenger seatbelt belongs around the passenger

71RestoRod · 05-31-2005, 06:34 PM

Wow, Gary!

That looks like the same blue I used on my Chevy!!!

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 06-01-2005, 08:19 AM

maybe I will put the passengers in the back then I wont need a seat belt in the front

*Medicanman71* · 06-01-2005, 09:42 AM

yea seat belts is still on my list too

71jimmy · 06-02-2005, 12:26 AM

Gary, if you go to this link on ebay and look at the bottom row of pictures, third from left, you will see how the stock passenger seat belt mounts. My rollbar mounts on top of the raised rear floor at the edge, there is no interference with the belt. By the looks of it your rollbar looks the same as mine. Sorry, but I don't have the time right now to pull mine out and take pictures, work is a biatch and I'm on the road (thanks to free internet access at the hotels I can at least keep up with the board). If this pic doesn't help, maybe you could post a pic of the area your asking about.

Rollbar - BLACK

Seatbelt debate:
Your both correct.

The vertical panel at the front of the bed is the more common spot BUT
I've owned a blazer that did have it about 4/6 inches back on the horizontal portion of the bed floor.
That would be right where the rollbar would sit.

Is it the pic or does that rollbar lean forward some?

2wdBlazer · 06-02-2005, 08:09 AM

Black is the only color that I think would not look out of place.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 06-02-2005, 08:29 AM

Thanks 71jimmy that looks like the only place to put it is that where yours is I will have to drill a hole for it.
I will put my pics on paint brush and try some differant colors

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 06-02-2005, 08:32 AM

The roll bar is just siting in their not bolted in.

*Medicanman71* · 06-02-2005, 09:25 AM

when you bolt it in, dont forget the backing plates

71jimmy · 06-02-2005, 12:05 PM

I didn't know there are other places for the seatbelts to mount. Mine is like the one in the picture ( I guess thankfully). This is the only Jimmy/Blazer I've ever owned or been close too. Maybe it's a difference between the '70 and '71 Jimmy's. Gary, what does your passenger seatbelt retractor look like? Is it the stubby one in the pic?

Oh yeah, I vote for a black rollbar!

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 06-02-2005, 05:02 PM

I dont have a backing plate does it go on the bottom side of the bed floor

My seat belt is the short one
