Hey all:
Not to be a nitpicker, but do you really want to put lap belts in a jeep
with no rops kit(or any open vehicle for that matter)? In my personal
experiance, having been a NYC Paramedic for years, as well as an
engineering and vehicle sort, is that I love and wear seat/sholder belts in
my cars/closed cabs, but in a non ROPS jeeps, I would rather have the option
to exit the vehicle before it is upside down on top of me.
Just a thought, NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS ADVICE, ENDORSEMENT, WARRANTY,
GUARENTEE OF FUTURE LIFE OR ANYTHING AT ALL, (OFFER VOID WHERE PROHIBITED)
