96 XJ... basically stock and stuff...
1. I'm just wondering... do the fuel tank straps go on the OUTSIDE of the factory skidplate, or on the inside? I swear they were on the inside, holding only the tank in place, before the fuel pump needed replacement, during which I discovered an awful rust hole in the trailer hitch, which brings us to our next question.
2. Those weldnuts... are they on a strip of metal? None are attached to the frame anymore, and all seem connected. To install the [Curtis round tube] hitch I'll have to a) dump the skidplate, or figure out what's interfering with the hitch and do something about it, and b) fishwire bolts through the frame and use nuts to hold the skidplate and hitch in place. This brings us to our final question...
3. How do you remove the rear bumper? Is it somewhat easy, or a complete pain in the balls? I see nuts/bolts to a mount, to the frame... somehow I feel like I'm in for a lot of frustration, profanity, and flying wrenches. I'm actually considering taking it to a shop.
Any help is appreciated. -Matt
