Pic request

[1bad92]

I have been looking at the fj45lpb tailgate latches. What do they hook to, is there some kind of J hook? If you know where some pics are or can tell me where I can buy them at that'd be great, thanx.

There is a piece of hooked flatbar attached to the top corner of the bed wall. I sticks through a hole in the gate and the latch picks it up there. I can get a better picture when I get home if you need one.

Thanks for the pic. If you get a close up of the hole it goes through and one of the hook and how it latches that would be good. Im actually thinking about putting these on a cj7 tailgate and am just wondering if it will work or not. Thanx, 1bad92

I think that pic was taken a while ago, the truck is under the knife right now.

Well it was above the freezing mark today but that shot is about three years old - mid summer.


I snapped a few pictures of the latch and hook - hope these help....

you should be able to make'em out of flat stock pretty easy, 2 holes and a bend.
