On my 2 door roll bars, just behind the speakers on each side, there is what looks like a washer welded onto the roll bar with a deep unthreaded hole. Anyone have any idea what the intended purpose is? Tried to search to see if this was already asked but I could not find anything. Looks like a decent mounting point but the fact it is not threaded seems odd to me.

Crickets! I’d like to add some threads into this hole, but not sure how. I’d like to avoid buying a rivet nut tool, and there’s no surface behind to connect too anyway. It’s a solid tube all the way. I’m leery of tapping it. I tried an expansion nut, but it just squeezed itself out. There’s always epoxy.

Has anyone found a good way to add threads here? (And am I screwing up something obvious, like the hardtop wire mounting fixtures on the inside cargo area that everyone asks about…)

came here looking for same thing.

for anyone that doesn't want to go thread digging, it sounds like those holes can be threaded with a M10 x 1.5 tap.
