 Spn "nuts" in frame.
This is the first time I've logged into the new format and it's pretty nice.
I have a YJ with at least 2 "nuts" that hold the Trans skid plate on that have spun, (broken the crappy welds that held them), so I can't remove the skid plate.
I have seen a few fixes and I was wondering what the group has to offer for the best, (easiest), fix.
My friend had all 6 spin and cut windows in the frame and welded the "nuts" fast, then rewelded the windows closed. My least desirable choice.
I think LEVE sent me a picture of a weld around the nut from the bottom side of the frame, but they are pretty rusted out and I dont think that the area around the nuts is up for welding.
A local 4 X 4 shop told me that they plasma cut holes where the nuts were and weld a plate, (around 1/8" thick), that has the proper nuts welded to it in the right locations, on to the bottom of the frame rail.
Someone else said that they cut a slot into the frame and slid a rectangle of steel that had a drilled and tapped hole in it so it wouldn't spim.
So many ways to remedy the problem.
Has anyone "gone there, and done that" and has some advice?
Thanks,
