I removed the fender flares and found this tape like stuff covering some of the larger holes. There was also a hole where the tape cover came off? What is it and do i need to make sure these holes are covered?
Thanks for the fast response. Should those holes be covered?That's only used by an overhead lift during manufacturing when they're moving the body around to set it on the frame.

You thought wrong.You sure about that.... I thought that they were drain holes
If they were drain holes, why would they be taped up and hidden by body work instead of removable and accessible plugs?You sure about that.... I thought that they were drain holes

I guess senior Jeep engineer and "father of the Jeep Rubicon" Jim Repp was wrong about the purpose of that hole when he told me what it was used for after I asked him, that it was just used during manufacturing.I know they did not use them to lift an assembled jeep body during the vehicle assembly process or the paint process.
I’m curious how you came about this information?I know they did not use them to lift an assembled jeep body during the vehicle assembly process or the paint process.
Before you said you guessed they were drain holes. You suddenly became an expert on what they can't be.That is the Toledo Assembly line, I find it hard to belive that the sheet metal will support the body of a jeep in that location, but they make damn good drain hole for fording deep water

So your argument against those holes as mounting points is that the body is carried another way at one point during assembly?LOOK AT THE PICTURE I POSTED
