Anyone need Rivet nuts for TJ skid?
- Thread starter 2Greys
- Start date
Well her transfer case was hanging by 1 bolt so I figured that I would just drill out the 1 broken bolt and tap it to hold it temporarily (as she wanted to take her jeep to a girls night out} until I got these in. After dulling 3 bits and breaking a step drill :banghead: I looked at them all closely and realized why they weren't stripping out of the frame was because the previous owner had welded them. Well even though I have a nice pit to do crap jobs like this I had started it on the floor and my truck was in the middle of having heims replaced so I didn't have time to finish it and bolt the skid back up so I persevered on the floor, good times :flipoff:
Anyway I then said enough of this crap and used the plasma to remove the offending material and welded 1/2" nuts into the frame.
But at that price I can see a use for them in the future so if nobody is in a rush then let's get a few people in on this and I will order them anyway.
And yes OD I know I said I didn't want to start welding the frame but the "damage" was already done :beer:
Hmmm just saw this, don't ask me why I was wandering around the net it is what I do just because "I wonder" :flipoff:
