Re: cj frame repair
Mine were the same, 4 ok and 2 shot, I just took the next size up tap and
ran it through, then like sized bolt, took and chance on it not spinning the
nut off, guess I would of lost a tap in the frame if it did, but worked fine
for me.

Re: cj frame repair
Follow up-
I tapped it one size larger. the drill was easy since most of the threads
were gone already. Ran a tap through, and I was done with both of them in
10 minutes. Looks like there is still plenty of meat left on bolt that is
inside the frame, so I am good to go. Thanks for the idea.
