- Fixed two-point lap belt
- Mounting hardware included

- FMVSS 209 and 302 rated
Seatbelt Planet's rear lap belt for 1972-1978 FJ40 Land Cruisers is a fixed two-point strap for a rear driver or passenger seat, with mounting hardware included.
Fitment
Its fit is one rear outboard seat in an early FJ40, 1972 through 1978.
Webbing Colors
This listing offers 39 webbing colors.
Why Replace?
Rear belts in FJ40s are often missing altogether, or are cracked and stiff from decades of sun. A fresh fixed lap belt gives a rear rider a real restraint and suits the simple, rugged character of the truck. It is also an easy, inexpensive upgrade compared with most Land Cruiser restoration work.
Belt Care
Brush off dirt and wash gently.
About the 1972-1978 Toyota FJ40
Early FJ40s used a variety of rear seating arrangements, including side-facing jump seats in many trucks and small rear benches in others. Toyota kept the basic layout for years, and owners have since added aftermarket seats of all kinds. That variety is why it is important to confirm your rear seat and anchor points before ordering any rear belt.
Pre-Install Checklist
Inspect the rear anchors.
Good to Know
One belt.
Seatbelt Planet rates this FJ40 rear strap to FMVSS 209 and 302 and includes mounting hardware.
Many FJ40s use side-facing jump seats or a small rear bench, and the belt you need depends on that layout, so confirm your rear seating before ordering.
This listing offers 39 webbing colors rather than the 52 seen on many other Seatbelt Planet belts, and none of them carry a premium upcharge.
With no reel, this early FJ40 strap shrugs off sand and dust.
Before ordering, look under or behind the rear seat for the anchor points and clean the threads.
Buy one for each FJ40 rear seat, same color on each side.
Land Cruiser FJ40s are often used for family trail outings, and working rear belts make those trips safer for kids and friends.
Rinse off trail grit and air-dry the strap before use.
If your FJ40 is a 1979 or later truck, a retractable rear lap belt is listed separately.
Collectors value FJ40s that retain original-style details, and a period-appropriate lap belt fits that goal.
Fresh rear belts complete the interior of a carefully restored Land Cruiser.
The FJ40's simple, rugged design means most parts, belts included, are easy to service at home.
Owners who keep their FJ40 stock often choose a webbing color close to the original, while those with custom interiors might pick a bold accent shade to tie in with new seat covers.
Each rear seat gets its own belt, so order one for every FJ40 rear position you plan to use.
Rugged and simple, like the truck itself.
Early FJ40s are a classic truck collectors chase.
