    Anyone have any idea what these footman loops are for? No wear marks on paint, no idea myself.

    Not a typical location. Likely added by a previous owner for a tarp tie down or if it's been flat towed the lights.

    I'ld leave em alone. They might be handy.

    X2 on not being typical locations. I remember CJs back in the 60's packing tents and bedrolls for camping across the cowl. Maybe that was the purpose?

    I have decided on using them as adjustable hammock mounts.
