Quick picture needed

I'm reinstalling my tailgate and need to see how the lower hinge pivot points are mounted to the body. These are the ones that mount near the taillights. It looks like there is some sort of bolt and nut on one side and a smaller bolt going into a threaded hole. Any pics or diagrams would be great

If I’m understanding this correctly (doubtful, I haven’t messed with an MJ tailgate in probably 5 years), these are the two holes you’re talking about, right?

 

If so, I think that the hole towards the rear of the truck is threaded and the other hole is a locating hole for a round tab on the hinge pivot.

Here is the assembled version if that is helpful.  Both pics are the left side.

There’s only one bolt which goes through the “cup” portion in the rear hole the other hole is for alignment of the bracket. They have a raised portion on the back.

Thank you for saying this. This is what I was trying to say, but failing to word it easily.

One picture is worth a thousand keystrokes.

Awesome, thank you all so much for the pictures! That’s exactly what I needed
