http://willysmjeeps.com/v2/modules/gallery/albums/album424/front_between_seats_pass_side_5a.jpgI marked up some photos of the holes I am dealing with. I compared them to wes photos (I'm not complaining but the green is hard for this old man to see) anyway I circled the ones I think should be there, and circled the rest and put an x in the ones I thing should be filled. let see how close I am on that.

#1 I don't know what the 4 large ones would be used for?


#2


#3


#4


#5


#6

I hope I can hold the welder better than I can make circles with the mouse.

chim on in if you see I messed some of them up.

Wow! That looks a whole lot like mine except there is silicone in a lot of the holes in mine... Dude did a great patching job. At least he tried I guess.

#1 - The four large holes were for the CJ3A spare tire mount. Since the military moved the spare mount to the tailgate these holes were plugged with 2 bolts and two left open

#2 - There are only four holes in the tub rear bed. One for the gas tank hold down, one for the driver's seat rt rear leg and two at the crossmember mount pads.

#3 - There are 4 pairs of holes for footman loops. Looks like you overlooked the filled inboard rear footman loop's forward hole.

#4 - OK

#5 - OK

#6 - You have 5 unmarked holes that do not belong there. You have two pair of 2 holes unmarked that do belong there.

Orange X marked holes do not belong. The two pair of holes circled in Orange do belong. They are for the seat back retainer hooks.

From related experience I'd guess those pairs of four holes on
top of the wheelhouses were for a 4 leg roll bar/cage setup
now removed. Mine is still there and bolted through the
wheelhouses in nearly the same places. I have no idea
what it weighs but the bases are probably 1/2" plate at minimum.

If somebody ever rolled this jeep that roll cage would have punched
right through the wheelhouses!

This one was a biggie. The wheelhouses are smashed backwards and the seat brackets crushed.

I'm thinking a matched pair............
