    What are these holes for?

    Just wondering if anyone can help me out with my gq Ute. There's 3 holes on the back of the cab, I'm not sure what they were originally for or how I should go about blocking them up. Spray painter didn't know what they were, either did my mechanic mate. Any help would be much appreciated, cheers.

    Never seen it before, making something aftermarket a previous owner had mounted there.

    yes it looks like there was some sort of mount there, i would get some round head bolts and acorn dome nuts and put a dab of silicone either side and put them in and do up tight, that way it will be water tight and the silicone will also hold the bolts and nuts from undoing.

    Normally there are plastic clips there which hold the long extension to wind the jack up with. If these arent there then those holes are what's left. Either use some bolts as suggested with some silicone or track down the appropriate clips.

    I think they were for the factory jack handle they would have had plastic clips there.

    I used the passenger side ones as a bolt hole for my child seat when I had my ute.
