Default Tailgate straps
I'm looking for tailgate straps so it quits swinging open to far and hitting my light. Is there any for the tailgate?

Mine has a stop. Maybe they added it in later years?

Are you thinking this is a stop? It's not. It only holds the tail gate in the open position so it doesn't close on you.
The stops are in the hinges. If the tail gate swings far enough to hit the tail light, the hinges are shot.

Okay thank you. I'm new to wranglers. I use to have 2 XJs. So the hinges should have stops in them?
