    Hi All..

    I have been looking on the internet and can not for the life of me find anyone that makes a set of replacement stainless tailgate chains for the 71. I was sure someone makes/made them but I am stumped.
    So does anyone have a link of a manufacturer handy it would be much appreciated????

    If worse comes to worse I will make a set up myself but I need some dimensions anyone willing to help out there as well???


    Thanks allot....

    Those aren't stainless. They're plated. (I know because I make them :) )

    Yeah, I'm still alive and my CJ5 is still going strong. Just at one of those points where life is super busy. But I do pop in every now and then.
    Though I might pull the Jeepster back into the garage and start working on that again.
