[QUOTE="OldJoe28, post: 441584, member: 21030"] Narrowing down my, " Last Jeep Project List" , and got to wondering....... " if I want to drop trans and do work on it, what is BEST way to repair broken skid plate bolts that go up in the frame"? ( One candidate is solid, but, auto trans may not be healthy, another is in pieces and all 3 skid plate bolts are broken on the one side). My last project, '89 YJ, 4 bolts came out, threads were there, but not really the best, but, 2 were broke off flush with frame by P.O.. Chances of me drilling and re tapping the frame nut are about the same as me winning the lottery! I thought about drilling up through frame and putting a long bolt/ nut, but, I don't have that long of a drill! "L" bracket bolted to skid plate and drill a hole through the frame, but, that may not work..... What are your best ," fixes" for this issue??? Seems that part of the frame is where all H2O and muck settles and rusts bolts. Thanks! Joe I'm trying to get all the issues solved before I dive in this project! [/QUOTE]
