Fitment Notes
Rear outboard positions, left or right, in TJ Wranglers from 1997 through 2006 and the long wheelbase LJ Unlimited, per Seatbelt Planet.
Available Colors
Choose from the full chart of 52 webbing colors, including bright options that suit the open-top character of a Wrangler.
Why New Belts Matter
Wrangler rear belts live with sun, rain and trail dust whenever the top or doors come off, and after twenty years many are faded, frayed or slow to retract.
Keeping Them Like New
Rinse trail grit from the Wrangler belt with fresh water, wash it with a gentle soap, and keep it extended until fully dry before letting it wind back in.
About the Jeep Wrangler TJ and LJ
Jeep launched the TJ for 1997 with coil spring suspension at all four corners and the return of round headlights, and the LJ Unlimited added a longer wheelbase and more cargo room for 2004 through 2006.
Pre-Install Checklist
Confirm whether you need the driver or passenger side and make sure the rear seat anchor points are free of mud and corrosion.
Good to Know
Seatbelt Planet lists this belt as a single, made to order in the chosen webbing color.
A switchable retractor is useful for families because a standard emergency locking reel alone does not keep a child seat snug.
The 4.0 liter inline six was the engine most TJ owners chose, while four-cylinder engines were offered in base models.
Seatbelt Planet also lists two-belt rear kits for these Jeeps, with and without switchable retractors.
The end release latch, common on Wranglers of this era, lets go when you push the button at its tip.
For help choosing the right Wrangler belt, call 574-226-6676.
Off-road clubs often require working belts in every occupied seat on organized trail rides, so a worn rear belt in a TJ can keep a passenger off the trip.
LJ Unlimited owners in particular use the back seat for family trips thanks to the added legroom of the stretched body.
Because the rear seat in many TJs is folded or removed for cargo, the belts can get kinked or pinched against the tub when the seat is reinstalled.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a switchable retractor do?
It can change from normal emergency locking to an automatic locking mode, which holds a child safety seat tight. Seatbelt Planet notes it is meant for use with child seats.
Is this one belt or a pair?
One belt for either rear outboard seat. Seatbelt Planet also offers a two-belt rear kit.
Does it fit the longer LJ Unlimited?
Yes, Seatbelt Planet lists it for both the TJ and the LJ.
What buckle is used?
An end release buckle.
Does the photo show the color I will get?
Not necessarily. The photo is Seatbelt Planet's own picture of this listing yet, so a placeholder is used, and the webbing color in it is just one example. Pick your color from the menu on this page.
