1977 FJ40 question (1 Viewer)

[LAZ]

These parts (3/4" thick) are mounted between each bumperette, I haven't seen seen any other FJ40 with them. Does anyone know what they're for?

They look like the sockets for an anti sway bars on a trailer hitch

So I googled around and looked at load equalizer hitches, their sockets appear to be fully round. So my next guess is brackets for like a drop in rear shelf/cargo basket. Looks to have a hole for a retaining pin.
