Jeep First Year

Buckle your seat belts!

So I can't drive a monsterously sweet jeep around sitting on pillows. What the hell is it a magic rug? I need some seats that can handle like 50 rolls and two buns. I also need some kind of strapping material to secure such cargo inside the rollcage. Here is the plan:

Seats:
JC whitney seats

Quadratech seats

It doesn't have to be THOSE seats, but seats like them would be nice. Either of the above in black. Black vinyl, leather, pleather with good side bolsters and harness holes.

On Road Belts:
JC Whitney Belts

Off-Road Belts:
JEGS 5pt harnesses

Ebay listings of 5 pt harnesses

Fortunately I may be able to get the 5 point harnesses for cheap. This is because sanctioned drag racing 5 pt seat belts have an expiration date on them. Once the harness's date expires, the belt must be replaced. As a result the high priced harness is no longer of any worth to a drag racer. So you can pick up a set of newer harnesses for cheap. You may be able to pick up a set that has never been used, but expired. Also the 5pt are cheaper than 4 pt because the 4 pt is a belt that the street racing community favors. Some food for thought.

So some quick prices: JC Whitney seats and 3pt belts 2x180+2x40=360+80=$440 (I think shipping over $100 is free for them).

How freaking exciting! See, I told you to buckle your seatbelts. Har. Har.
