if in fact you stuffed a 3rd seatbelt back there it would be a damn tight fit as the back seats of a bII don't even go the full width side-to-side (about 6" left on each side), and a bII is pretty narrow to begin with. not to mention the original seatbelts are almost touching each other because both retractors come from the middle. the logisitics of makin 3 seatbelts fit into the back of a bII would be tough to overcome

I'm assuming this is because they wedged the seat between the wheel wells? Which is why an Explorer has 3.

BTW, I don't know if you watch the B2's much on KSL, but they get snarfed up pretty quickly.

I made it so my last one had 3 in it but it was cause I got tired or my 3 nephews getting mad cause I would only let the oldest one sit in the front and they fit without issue but anybody older then about 11 will have issues fitting 3 in the back somewhat comfortably

well between the wheel wells, and the fact that an ex has opening rear doors allowing the seats to be wider. when you open the door of an ex the seat is almost all the way out to the exterior of the body, giving easily another 6" per side, that 12" total would make a huge difference when trying to fit a 3rd seat

ya know my 90 had 3. but only piglets fit back there, if there was need for a nipplehead to be in a car set you were screwed.

i figured it was done by the p.o... as the overlap didnt make sense the way the middle belt worked.

i never drive without a seatbelt, whenever i get pulled over for a speeding or something i take my seatbelt off before the officer gets to the car

here in utah they are only $35 , 5 times now i have gotten this: " i pulled you over for speeding but i'll let you off with a seatbelt ticket, you've had 3 before when will you learn?"

then i play dumb with something like "i don;t know sir, i always forget"

and they always say something like "you better remember it will save your life"

my insurance premuims thank them

I guess I should have also said that its in the garage, not driven. The interior is pretty much stripped out, waiting on the $$ to do a body lift and body bushings before I put it back together.
I always wear a seatbelt though

My 91 Explorer 4 door has 3 seat belts in the back but my 97 Explorer 2 door only has 2.I was surprised as the seat is wide enough for 3 people.
