Wow, just wow… Idiots…
Ron,
OK, I’ll demonstrate my naivete’. Why do you write this? I know one thing, they sure are pricey.
If I wasn’t banned from AZ, I would be after that thread.
My guess is that it’s because you’re relying on the tensile strength of thread and the quality of the stitch job to transfer the forces from a crash and prevent spinal compression.
This is a shitty and dangerous product. I am also not surprised to see them release it without any testing. I’m sure no one at schroth would approve of this method of installation.

I put these same belts in my FJ cruiser, but they are attached directly to my cage and seat risers. Is the shoulder belt going around the head rest??

Oh wow. Those covers look like something I could have made with supplies from a craft store. Those little loops will rip off and then you’re wearing nothing but a lap belt at that point.
These harnesses with no play cause serious injuries when not used with a HANS or similar device. Even when people set them up with the proper harness bar, they still don’t use a HANS.
So wait…the belts are anchored to the seat??? So, as the seat moves forward from rapid deceleration during a crash…the body moves too since its not properly anchored to a harness bar or bolted to the body?? WTF, Fast and Furious much??
Hahahaha that’s hilarious
Why don’t they come up with something that anchors to the baby seat anchors… Anything. That little hood for the deal is a joke.
Did you have a build thread on GJ for the FJ? Didn’t connect the dots until now.
Oh wow… “these are not for competition use”… WTF
Yeah, I’m not convinced either. I asked for more info and it’s essentially that. A slip on leather hood and the harness is held together via Velcro. No thanks.
The off road guys must refer to notarmed as ‘that rich prick’ after seeing those recaros . 
I think the harness is anchored to the rear seat latch points, so the harness is still bolted down. The problem is the shoulder straps could slide down the side of the seat if the Velcro fails (lol at Velcro paying any part in a collision restraint system).
What we need is skywagon to cut some holes in his seat to show us how it’s done right.
Hey! Im not the first person to put Recaros in an FJ
They’re awesome. Are they sportster cs?
Just looked over the build again, nice job and great attention to detail. looks like you learned a ton with it too
That FJ is nuts!
Just showed the Eurocode link to the time attack and hill climb driver for our MKV. They wouldn’t touch that setup with a 10 foot pole.
Eurocode better back that up with some safety testing or the first accident victim may be the proud new owner of a tuning company. Or will they be including a “not recommended for off or on road use, for show only” kind of like those novelty carabiners people use for key chains ;D
Hopefully Eurocode has a good liability insurance policy . . .
Yeah that is garbage. “Not for competition use, but we totally recommend it for HPDE!”
