what are these ?

As I said they appear to be cast, not forged, and I can't say whether the bent one is dealer lot damage, factory damage, or perhaps it is a chinese quality issue; It makes no difference since they will never be used... even a good sized dog can exert more than 150 pounds of force, in my experience.

Obviously reading comprehension is a strong point with you.
The load rating question was to emphasize the poor load rating/over all light duty nature of this vehicle...

I do regret giving the CJ-7 away but I am simply too old for such toys; its why I got this barbie car... I am firmly convinced that it is capable of making a trip to the grocery store once a week; perhaps even in several inches of snow.

To address some of the more obvious short comings, I got the black diamond option and have a lift kit on the shop floor (only because the vet says that I can no longer weld/make one).

I am some what tempted to drop this body on a decent frame and take it places, just for the pictures.

Enjoy!

First of all I have no reading comprehension issues at all. You can tell this easily by me answering every comment that you said earlier. So obviously you're the one with the comprehension issue. Nobody said anything about putting a good size dog on that tie down. The only animal that was mentioned was small animals. And the 150 lb load limit is pulling straight up that's not a lateral load that a small animal would be exerting. Unless the dog was jumping over top of the vehicle that would be the only way it would be exerting force to exceed the tie downs limit.
Now to address your issue of this being a capable vehicle, or a Barbie car as you called it, yes it can definitely travel to the grocery store and as of this winter I can assure you that it can wait well over 30 in of snow as that's exactly what I needed to do to get out of my driveway. I literally had snow level with my hood and had no issue driving through it. No it was not light fluffy snow either the top six inches of it was extremely hard packed as we had rain and freezing rain on top of the snow. I even posted a picture in one of my posts of my vehicle buried in snow to show the depth. I'm very confident in saying that since you don't even understand what these tie down points are and how they work I'm very sure that you would not have the skills required to transfer a unibody vehicle over to a solid frame chassis and have everything work properly. Not only that but the time and money required to do that would fire exceed what it would cost to just sell the vehicle and buy what you're actually looking for instead of complaining about the one you currently have. You clearly have buyers remorse so instead of whining about it just do everyone a favor sell it and go get what you're looking for cuz this clearly is not the vehicle for you.

I could care less what you do. But we both know that you already read it. LOL

That's actually not a bad idea, well as long as you remember to unfasten the pets or small children before you take off down the highway. Remember they can't run that fast. From my experience, most pets and children tend to top out around 20 km per hour, but you can drag them much faster.

You obviously bought the wrong tool for the job you want it to do. I’d buy what I really want and go to another forum were I you. Life’s too short and vehicles are too easily replaceable to suffer with something that won’t do the job.

Please, someone, anyone, take a CJ-7 to the local big box hardware megaplex and put eight 2x6x12 on the roof and then demonstrate where the proper tie down points are at. It's a little option on the car. Yeah, a bunch of people can go their entire ownership and never tie anything to it. So what?

There are so many real things to hate in the world today, "Each other" is just stupid at this level.

"So what?" Is perfect, thank you!
