Rear corner Bracket

Can anyone tell me the name of this bracket circled in red, and if original Scramblers had the bracket painted the color of the tub, or powdercoated black?

The stock 82 cj8 I'm building were black.

Thank you... the ones I have the PO rubber coated them. I will send mine out for powder coating black if that is the stock look.
thanks again, Norm

Mine were black also, I believe they are called tailgate support brackets

I'm glad I saw this, or I'd have painted mine body color. I went out to look in my small parts bin and sure enough - black down to the metal. My door strikers are also black down to the metal, not body color.

Thank you... Just out of curiosity, are there any other random brackets or pieces that are black? By the way, that's an awesome color combo, is that Copper Brown Metallic? Do you happen to have more pictures?

The original color was dark honey metallic 5D, 1985, but previous owner had spray painted the exterior desert tan. It has since been repainted dark brown metallic 5E, 1985. The only other brackets I can think of that would be black would be the seat and seat belt related ones.
