hi, does anyone know what the row of four raised punchouts in the tailgate of a 71 cj? they are about 2 inches wide each and have two holes in each. they are on the upper portion of the tailgate above where it says "JEEP" Thanks!

google or search for "footman loops"
some soft top applications use them for straps/hold downs for the rear curtain.
