Title: Tailgate Chain, Hook and Sleeve
Post by: elmerjeeper011 on April 10, 2013, 02:44:47 AM

Hi Guys,

This is Elmer of MDJuan. We are restoring a CJ2a. We saw on the internet that the tailgate chain has a canvass, can you guys tell me what material this is made of? Is it leather, or canvass material?

That is vinyl it looks like. Here is what I did. I got a canvas one from beachwood canvas work. I can provide a link if you want.
