Question Rear Cargo Area Tie-Down Loops

OK, I give up ... how do you remove the factory rear cargo area tie-down loops in a 2000 TJ Sahara?

I'm installing a Tuffy rear cargo aluminum storage box and I have removed all of the factory rear hardware with the exception of the 6 cargo area tie-down loops just below the carpet. At first I thought they were held in place by two small countersunk socket-head screws, but on closer inspection there are no Allen hex or Torx facets, just small diameter round holes. Are these some form of rivet? If so, it looks like I may have to drill them out to remove the tie-down loops.

If anyone knows what the scoop is on getting these out, I would sure appreciate the info.

Yeah ... drill time is right. Blaine responded to my similar post on Jeep Forum and told me to use a 3/16" drill which worked great (and there were actually 8 of them and not 6 as I first thought). Here's a shot of the tie-down loops removed and their holes taped over:



Which reminds me, how come Blaine stopped posting or responding to anything on JeepBBS?

Hmmm ... I guess that explains the 21,000+ posts on Jeep Forum.
