I think that is for storing part of the fording kit if I am thinking of the same bracket.

When the cargo bed top supports are stowed, they are stacked on top of each other and held in place by a web strap that goes thru the bracket. Like a large footman loop. Kurt

You know, I've tried that & haven't figured out exactly how to do it. Someone posted a page from a TM showing how it was done, but my bows (yes, they are stock) didn't seem long enough to strap down. Anyone have a picture out there?

Have you checked out Cable's site, he "stows his bows" in this manner.
Good Luck,
