Tim, is that an 883?

It was an 883 from the factory, but the previous owner did a 1200 conversion with the stock jugs. It rips.

I was at the junkyard this morning and came across some similar D-rings in the back cargo area of the early 90's Ford Explorers. They have a slot cut out of the dee, but they are pretty heavy gauge and they have insulators so they don't jingle.

nice. i noticed my g/f's trailblazer has them as well. defenitly not as heavy though. and she'd probably be pissed if i stole them.
