Anyone have a recommendation for a good brand of belts? Just go to NAPA and get their stock?

I had to go to NAPA and Checker to get mine since no one place had all the ones I needed.

This might sound dumb but is there anyway to get the factory ones rebuilt?? I have another set but I can tell the ones on it now dont seem so secure if ya know what I mean but I dont really want to go aftermarket per I want to keep the interior one color as much as I can.

i am happy with the daycos i put on last year. belts is belts, imho. alignment, tension and cleanliness are the keys to belt longevity. 87GW, you are talking seatbelts, others talking fan belts. junkyards are a good source for seatbelts

I beg to differ, andy d. Junkyards aren't a good source for seatbelts. Why? Because exposure to the elements can damage the belts. You won't be able to see the damage with the naked eye, either. Also, anytime a seatbelt is "used" in a collision, it should be replaced. Most of us should probably replace our seatbelts,anyway, as time will also render them less effective.

Don't get them from Pete!! They are all stretched out!!!

I got some from J.C.Whitney, but they were just single belts. I think www.jeepdoc.com (http://www.jeepdoc.com) has some. I need to look into getting some, also. Especially my passenger side.
