Ok here is another one for you...

After washing the JLUSs I found tape over the weep holes on the underside of the doors, See photo. The tape does have a slit in it to allow water to escape, but why the tape? Others have it, or are they removed? Should I remove it?

Second on the rear bars looking at it from the rear door, there are two holes, one on each side on the bar, not sure if it has threads in it ,,, any Idea what this is for?

I have the tape as well. Noticed it while drying the door frames after a wash. I left it there. No idea.

You would think if that was the size they wanted for a weep hole they should have made them that size, shape and direction. Must be their way of "directing the water flow from the interior". The Wranglers are notorious for all the patches placed in places to direct water flow.

The chassis/frame/bodies are formed/started with ANY MODS will fit--LATER-

Sometimes the finished vehicle doesn't have all those mods--you know they're not gonna strip her down and go BACK to remove all captive nuts/holes/stiffners-

The tape is to limit debris from entry/w slit for water drain-

Jeeps/trucks/SUVs--all same
