It would have been $600 to replace the front belts and retractors in my
Wrangler with OEM parts, and I don't even have air bags. That didn't even
include the buckles. The YJs have been placed into something like
extended
obsolescence, which means that parts are still available but at greatly
inflated cost. :o( If you have the new air bag compatible seat belt
system
with the explosive charge in the retractor (!!!) well Mr. Som Ting Wong is
probably right.
You ever see the slow motion film of one of those going off with a human
in
the seat?
