damn, thats wild. IF you would have giving it some throttle it probly would have started a while ago and lead you to that fix easier, even though FI i always give some throttle if something doesn't start

Every TJ or XJ I have ever tried to replace the rear shocks on, the upper bolts broke on me. In short you have 3 options when this happens and each depends on what tools and equipment you have access to.
1. Air hammer the nut from the bottom side in hopes you break the nut loose and eventually off. Then buy a "Bar Pin Eliminator" bracket and install it. I have had issues where the bolt wants to spin because you can't get a wrench on the top side.
2. Remove the body mounts, and air chisel the nut off from the. Then replace it with "Bar Pin Eliminator".
3. Weld bracketry to the bottom.I saw this YouTube video (link below) and the guy had a really cool solution. Except he milled the piece... here's how to get around the milling portion with using Lowes material....and a welder.
start with 2 x .25" flat bar. Cut them into 3/4" strips (you'll need
drill a 1/2 hole in the center of (4) of them
drill a 5/16 hole in the center of (4) of themtake your 4.5 angle grinder with a cutoff disc, and slot each one to the width of the hole.
center them up, and weld the 2 pieces together. This will allow a 5/16" bolt to slip in and out. if you use stainless, then you wont have to worry about it ever rusting.
anyone else try anything like this?

congrats, and welcome back. the forum doesn't get as much traffic as you probably remember from 2010, but DEJA does have a facebook page that gets more than this site does
Thank you!
I'm not the biggest fan of social media; but if it serves a purpose then it's alright in my book! lol -

Howdy all!
I used to be a member of this forum back in 2010, sold my 97 TJ and lost touch.
Recently picked up a 04 LJ with 58,xxx miles from my dad and looking to keep it "stock"...for now.
Anyway, I am in Berks County PA, but frequent DE quite a bit. I also DD a 2016 F250 Diesel, if you need play the relay game for parts; feel free to PM me.
