Seatbelt Delete

[Drizz]

I know you're joking, but this is likely why Ford had to issue the seat belt recall/fix.

Sad, isn't it?

That’s actually the exact reason. Crazy.

Trying to delete my seatbelts.

Has anyone done this? I can't find any videos anywhere.

Looks for videos on removing the rear seats, you will find info on removing the rear seat belts buried within.

I've done the rear ones for a "Bronco Bunk" I built, and reinstalled the seat belts. It is pretty easy once you remove the seats, just a couple bolts. I believe there are some Bronco forum threads and YouTube videos. Suggest you search for "seat delete".

Here ya go. Super illegal, but this one's fine since it's for "farm equipment." It's even shaped like a tractor to keep you from using it in your real car.

You better have a good reason for this...

I turned off the seat belt alert sound (along with all the other obnoxious alerts) using Forscan. That's fairly easy to do using the guide posted here on 6g. The vehicle is more enjoyable for me now without all those noises. Not sure otherwise what you mean about seatbelt delete.

Link to that forscan guide ?

Rear view mirror delete because there is no reason to look back in life

The Bronco is shaped like a brick. Who needs brakes when you have wind resistance?

Yup, that's exactly what I was referencing and I've never noticed the seat belt being difficult and, even if I did, it wouldn't stop me from putting it on.

Oh yeah. We die like real men round here!

I want to remove my front seat belts because they’re a bit hard to reach so I don’t bother putting them on

There is a recall for that and truly only drivers without left arms cannot reach three inches behind their shoulder to grab the belt so Ithe recall has to be for the vertically challenged who have their seats in the most forward position?

And no sympathy for anyone with a death wish when they roll over their Bronco on top of them while ejected.

One thing about aging I’ve actually learned to enjoy. Watching the popular culture shift back and forth on various topics. At least in my general socioeconomic group. I remember when the manufacturers and insurance industry were lobbying the politicians. When Regan’s “deregulation” policies forced the NHTSA to pull back on seatbelt requirements. The Supreme Court battle that ensued. The rage my peers were exercising over the assault on their rights of self determination. The protests. So much rage against the Man lol. The amount of time and energy folks would put into deceiving and avoiding enforcement efforts. Hell, the random roadblocks set up to conduct “enforcement and education” actions… and now? Roughly 3-4 decades later? A complete reversal in attitude. Seatbelt Delete?! You must be insane! lol.

Several articles on the topic are available. Here’s a random one I picked to help illustrate the point. The point being how things do change. And often somehow change right back lol.

Is this an existential question? The short answer is because your dad was horny and your mom let him.

Seatbelt laws are as stupid as helmet laws. We short-circuit Darwinism at our own peril.
