          My pics must be pretty good, Lindel, the carpet isn't ripped but it's definitely threadbare to say the least. Probably not as bad as some of the southern rigs where it's just an oven in the summer.
          DH is outside working on the seatbelts now and I have pictures as he goes along.
          The guy who did the body work and put on the decals keeps saying that I must hate his guts. It was a lot of work for him but not only did we pay him, we bought him a nice plazma cutter too. It takes some of the sting out!

              Rear seat belts

              Well, one side is completed. We used rear shoulder belts out of a classic 90's Cherokee and took a few cosmetic pieces to use too. They look great! They are only for decorative purposes though.

                Oh, all that white stuff is gone. It was glue residue from where the previous owner tried duct taping up all the panels to keep the exhaust fumes from pouring in. When we got it it had practically no rear quarters left on it.

                  Nice rear belt conversion. How did you get the belt run through the hole in the panel? I didn't think the fabric was detachable.

                    He used that gray cover plate to cover the hole. The hole is big enough to get the entire upper plastic assembly through. Then he hid the lower portion all behind the panel.

                      Oh yeah- very important

                      Of course we would never recommend installing safety features by yourself. Only a trained professional should be hired if considering any type of modifications to anything on your vehicle.
                      The below applies entirely:

                      STANDARD LIABILITY DISCLAIMER: Clearly, the only reason to install shoulder belts is to garner compliments on how handy you are; they are for decorative purposes only and should never be used. Legally, not only do I think that shoulder belts installed based on the below description will not protect occupants under any circumstance, I think that installing rear shoulder belts will cause the wheels to fall off your FSJ, your gas tank to explode, your dog to leave you, your teeth to fall out, and your family and friends to start giving you large economy-size bottles of Bean-O as gifts. In other words, I accept no responsibility for your results if you install shoulder belts; proceed at your own risk.

                        Wow, gorgeous. Very, very nice work. I love the blue and silver with the 'S' package graphics, very sharp. Nice job on the shoulder belts too (also love the disclaimer on doing that mod). The one and only thing I would personally change, would be to swap to a razor grille, and perhaps a 2" lift and 31's. How's the side exit exhaust?

                          Looks awesome!

                          And thank you for posting photos. After six months of staring at Elroy and Elwood staining the concrete I finally dragged them inside today and got a good start to the project... which only happened because you inspired me.
