looking for suggestions. I'm replacing my exhaust and doing a a trans fluid change. I've broken off 2 of the transfer case skid plate bolts (the first 2 I tried to get off) any ideas on how to get these out. I'm slightly concerned on trying the rest now.
broken frame bolts

U have to grind out the rivnut in the frame and replace after gettjng the rest of the bolts out. There r several repair items out there from new rivnuts to weld in bungs. U can also do frame repair sections from autorusr.

ok thanks, I'll look into that. looks like the jeeps gonna be out of commission longer than I thought.

Its a couple hours to fix once u decide on a solution. Shadyluke, dugan and myself all do frame repairs.

Yea just get in contact with one of us, Im sure one of us wont be busy haha.
Ive built my own frame sections with nuts welded on the backside to fix this issue for the frames that are rotted in that area.
If the nuts are still intact and theres no rot, I can get the broken pieces out by welding a nut to the broken piece. (all 3 of us could easily do this)

I've ordered some nutserts for my years Tj and I plan on making a tool to put them in. There is a few videos on you tube on the subject that make it look like it wont be to bad of a job to complete.
