Seatbelts save lives

I can't even make the pic out.. Not so sure a seat belt would do in that case. Jesus man. That thing is wadded up.
Am I the only one that thinks about batmobile will every dam time I buckle up? And I'm bad about lap belts until it's time to hit a trail? I gotta do some thing about my **** sawing my Fukin neck off. **** sucks... Need some kinda padding or something I guess.
 
This horse should be revived every day and beat to death all day.

I have a buddy I am working on. He wears his lap belt, but rarely puts on his shoulder straps.

Here's my method. Open door to truggy. Get in, shut door. Pull shoulder harnesses over and loosen just a bit, pull lap belts to center and cock strap. Secure all straps. Crank vehicle and drive to trails. Once the trail goes to easy, I tighten my shoulder straps. If I am on moderate to hard trails, I crank on them with all the strength my little match stick arms can muster. When on the main trail again, I slightly loosen them again.

The one thing I can promise is: if I do die on a trail somewhere, it will not be from not being properly harnessed in. If I live through a hard roll or flip down a hill. One day I will be able to look my children in the face and tell them the importance of strapping in.
 
kush are you running harnesses that connect to one point at the shoulder bar? i had that style and i always had strawberrys on my neck.. changed the setup to connect a little wider behind the seat and added some corbeau harness pads... bad **** happens fast so buckle up fellers...please don't let a few bucks cost your life

Yes. And my Fukin neck gets rubbed raw. I hate Em.

Just do a search for the covers, I ordered some black ones with pink writing when I was building my jeep, they were thick and felt like pillows and only cost like 8 dollars.

I will for sure! Bump for seatbelts!!!
I run 2" Crowe padded shoulders, never had a issue with these rubbing.
 
Seat belts are not just for the trail! Had a guy yesterday ejected over the windshield of his jeep right into the hwy head first....wasn't wearing his seat belt.

Made my own sticker tonight.

If you actually follow that, I won't throw as many mud clumps at you.

Bump for awareness. I've read about 2 deaths this morning from Memorial Day weekend. 1 in a Jeep where no belts were worn and another in a RZR where the stock belt failed.
