About the Toyota 4Runner

Third-generation 4Runners were built on the same chassis as the Tacoma and the Land Cruiser Prado of the period, with a much stiffer body than the earlier model.
The rear seat in these SUVs folds for cargo, and folding it often pinches the outer rear belts in the hinge area.

Owners who use their 4Runners for camping and towing often have rear belts that are stained and worn.
Sun through the large rear side glass fades rear webbing.
The door jamb sticker confirms your SUV's build date.
The 1996-2002 4Runner's rear bench splits and folds, and many owners fold one side often for cargo, which puts extra wear on that side's belt.
Third-generation 4Runners used for overland travel often carry gear in the back seat, and rear belts get pinched under heavy loads.
Limited and SR5 4Runners used different interior materials, but both use this rear outer belt layout.
4Runner owners in hot climates often find rear webbing stiff from sun through the rear glass.
Seatbelt Planet's rear 4Runner kit is a matched pair, keeping both sides consistent.
Third-generation 4Runner owners tend to keep their trucks for many years, and rear belts are a common refresh item.
A 4Runner rear seat with fresh belts is ready for kids, friends and road trips.
Rear 4Runner straps are often stained by spilled drinks and muddy dogs, and new webbing restores a clean back seat.
Seatbelt Planet stitches the 4Runner rear pair once you select the webbing shade.
A rear 4Runner kit pairs well with new rear floor mats for a cabin refresh.
