Jeep Wrangler 2000 Bolt and Nut opinions please!!!!
I just purchased one of those fancy Warn Rock front bumpers, a Warn 9.5 ti
winch and the Warn winch plate that ties everything together for my 2000
Jeep Wrangler. To install everything together, I need 'torx' bits, 'allen'
wrench bits, and the regular 6 point bolt and sockets to install everything.
My question is, should I bag the torx and allen bolts and just buy and go
reliable with the 6 point regular nut and bolt stuff I am familiar with? It
would be so easy to use the original torx and allen stuff than to buy the 6
point stuff I could easily get a wrench on. Should I just use the 'default'
torx and allen stuff and save initial install time or should I be
consistent, comfortable and use the 6 point stuff I am used to in the past
life to wrench crank?

Go with regular hex-head hardware... Grade 5 or Grade 8... and forget the
torx-stuff. :)

I take it you like to have a complete set of screw extractors,
left hand drill bits, magnetic base drill holder, and an arc
welder to remove the bolts after you strip out the Torix heads?
