Description

Overview

The Beams Tri-Lock TRITJ9702D-27 is a red front driver side seat belt for the 1997-2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ. It uses a switchable retractor with three locking modes and a 4 point mount, and it is sold individually.

The retractor can be engaged off-road to keep the occupant in place when the trail gets rough, and the user chooses the preferred locking mode. The belt meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and is tested in the U.S.A.

Key features

  • Three locking modes, with the preferred mode chosen by the user
  • Switchable retractor that can be engaged off-road
  • Front driver side position in red
  • 4 point mount, direct fit factory replacement
  • It is designed to help reduce fatigue and support driver control.
  • It is straightforward to install and use.

Off-road use and retractor care

A switchable retractor gives the wearer a choice between normal driving and a locked position for rough terrain. Engaging the lock on steep or uneven trails can help keep the occupant steady, but it should be released for everyday driving so the belt does not restrict movement. Practice switching modes in a parked vehicle before relying on them on the trail.

Sand, mud and dust can work into the retractor over time. Rinse the outside of the belt with water and let it dry fully before retracting it, and avoid soaking the reel. Inspect the webbing after every rough outing for fraying or abrasion from buckles and edges.

  • Test each locking mode after installation
  • Keep the buckle free of grit and mud
  • Check the 4 point mount bolts periodically

Questions & Answers

Is this the driver side or passenger side Tri-Lock belt?

It is the front driver side belt. It is red and uses a 4 point mount. A passenger side belt is a separate item, so check the seat position before ordering.

What do the three locking modes on the Tri-Lock do?

The three locking modes are chosen by the user. The switchable retractor is engaged for off-road use, keeping the occupant in place on rough trails.

Does this belt fit a 2000 Jeep Wrangler TJ?

Yes. It fits 1997-2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ models with SE, Sahara, Sport or X trims, including a 2000 TJ within that range. Confirm your trim before ordering.

How do I know if the retractor needs service?

Replace the belt if the retractor does not lock when pulled sharply, if it fails to retract smoothly, or if the webbing shows fraying. Cycling the mode selector through all three modes in a parked vehicle is a simple way to check it.
