OEM Style Early Bronco Seat Belts: The Classic Choice

If you're going for that original Early Bronco look and feel, our OEM-style Early Bronco Lap Belts & Retractable Seat Belts are the way to go. These belts are very similar to the stock seat belts from back in the day and provide a simple, classic solution for keeping you secure.

• Best for: Restoring to original or keeping that vintage look.

• Where to install: Retractable belts in front seats, non-retractable at rear seat.

• Pros: Easy to install, retains the stock look.

• Cons: More expensive than other options. Less secure than modern alternatives.

3-Point Retractable Belts: Maximum Safety

If you're upgrading for safety and peace of mind, Early Bronco 3-point Seat Belts are the gold standard. These offer shoulder protection as well, keeping you much more secure than traditional lap belts in case of a sudden stop or accident. Installation is simple, but does require a roll bar or cage for the upper shoulder belt mount.

• Best for: Off-roaders, daily drivers, or anyone upgrading for safety.

• Where to install: Front or Rear Seats (Requires a Roll Bar or Cage for Upper Mount).

• Pros: Provides the most security, retractable for ease, ideal for modern safety standards. Relatively affordable.

• Cons: Requires roll bar or cage for upper mounting points.

Aftermarket Lap Seat Belts: Simplicity and Comfort

For those looking to keep the vintage feel of lap belts without paying the premium for OE-style seat belts, we offer quality fixed and retractable two-point seat belts. These seat belts have a vintage feel to them, but are noticeably different from the factory seat belts. These seat belts offer a clean look and ease of use without straying too far from the original setup.

• Best for: Budget concious daily drivers or cruisers.

• Where to install: Front seats for retractable belts, Front or rear for fixed belts.

• Pros: Budget-friendly. Easy to install.

• Cons: Doesn’t offer the same safety level as a 3-point harness or the original look like the OE-style seat belts.

 5-Point Racing Harnesses: Off-Road Warrior’s Dream

For the serious off-road enthusiast, 5-point harnesses may be the way to go. If you're pushing your Bronco to the limits on rough trails, rock crawling, or taking it out on the dunes, a 5-point harness will keep you strapped in securely, no matter how wild the ride gets.

It's important to note that racing harnesses should only be used as a component of a well planned safety restraint system that includes a full, stand-alone roll cage and are intended solely for the trails and track. They are not designed, intended or recommended for street use.

• Best for: Rock crawling, extreme off-roading.
• Where to install: Front and rear seats (must have proper harness bar or mounts).
• Pros: Maximum security in extreme conditions.
• Cons: Requires specific mounts, not to be used for daily driving.

Installation Tips

Before ordering, double-check the mounting points on your Bronco to ensure compatibility. Most seat belts offered by Wild Horses are designed for easy installation, but you’ll want to make sure you have the correct mounts or retrofit kits if needed. A little planning now will save you some headaches later.

Final Thoughts: Safety First

Ultimately, the best safety belt for your Bronco comes down to how you use your rig. If you’re restoring your ride for Sunday cruises, lap belts or 2-point retractables may fit your style. But if you’re planning to hit the trails, use your Bronco as a daily driver, or just want to ensure maximum safety when riding in the Bronco, investing in 3-point seat belts is well worth it.

If you need help choosing the right setup or have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to make sure your Bronco is not just looking sharp but keeping you and your passengers safe out on the road (or trail).
