Why New Belts Matter
Parents carrying a child seat in the back of a TJ need a belt that locks to hold the seat, and worn original rear belts may not do that reliably.
Keeping Them Like New
Trail dust comes off these switchable TJ straps with soapy water; dry them extended.
About the Jeep Wrangler TJ
Jeep built the TJ Wrangler from 1997 to 2006 with coil spring suspension and round headlamps, adding the longer LJ Unlimited for 2004.
Before You Install
Look at the rear anchors on both sides of your TJ or LJ and check that the rear bench is the factory style.
Good to Know
Hardware is included with the switchable rear pair.
A switchable retractor is usually switched into locking mode by pulling the webbing all the way out, which lets it hold a child seat snug.
Seatbelt Planet also lists a standard rear TJ pair without switchable retractors under a different name.
Families who use their Wrangler as a weekend trail rig and a school-run vehicle often choose this switchable version.
Black is a popular webbing choice in Wranglers, but the menu also has gray, tan and bright colors.
Check your child seat's manual for its belt routing before relying on a switchable retractor.
Call 574-226-6676 with questions about the switchable Wrangler belts.
TJ Wranglers with a removable soft top let rain reach the rear seat, and wet webbing sitting in a reel can corrode the spring over time.
Owners who swap the factory rear seat in a TJ for an aftermarket one should check the rear belt anchors still line up before ordering.
The LJ Unlimited adds about fifteen inches of length over the TJ, mostly for rear legroom and cargo, and uses the same rear belt style.
Switchable reels in this Wrangler kit act like normal emergency locking retractors until switched into their locking mode.
A tumble-forward rear bench in a TJ can pinch rear belts if they are not tucked away first.
Black webbing is a practical choice in a Wrangler that sees mud, but bright colors are popular in show builds.
Families with young children often choose this switchable Wrangler pair over the standard rear pair for that reason alone.
Seatbelt Planet includes hardware with the switchable Wrangler rear kit.
Clean the Wrangler buckles of sand with compressed air after beach trips.
Rubicon TJ models built from 2003 share the rear seating layout with other TJs.
If the Wrangler's rear seat has been removed for a while, check the anchor threads for rust before fitting new belts.
Check your child seat manufacturer's instructions on locking belts before using the switchable function.
A Wrangler with a full set of working rear belts is more useful as a family vehicle.
