Tailgate chain question 79 series.

[tornadoalleycruiser]

I need some help. Feel kinda dumb but how do the tailgate chains attach on the fzj79 bed? Have a bed. Have chains but need a quick picture if possible. And since everyone likes pictures. New chains and new bed. Need to marry the two.

Im guessing top link attaches here. Was there an eye bolt on the top rail of the bed?

Turn the top latch upward ( see second photo) and it will slide into the hole easily.

Top latch ( turn counter clockwise ) until it is pointed upward.

Bicycle inner tube will keep the chain from scratching the paint.
Hope that helps ........

After I looked at the photos I realized how dirty my tailgate was ..... it is all shiny now.
