I have some stock bushshitter bolts...

-Alex
 
Nah I don't want the stock ones. Since they are self tapping. I am going to get some actual bolts and nuts so that I can take my front bushwackers off when I go wheeling.

I used to use the stock bolts with nuts on the back side, worked great.

I couldn't, well, not me, the people at Fasteners couldn't find a nut to fit the self tapping screws.... Maybe I will try that again...

If you welded the nuts to the back side of the fender you could just un due them from the outside.
If you don't have the ability to weld, you could "cold weld them" that would probably work if you preped the area good enough.
If you were to do this, I would recommend putting additional support under the nuts (either large washers or better yet a strip of steel with the nuts attached on the back.

That's looking pretty good Eli! Can you post up a bigger picture of your grooved tire? I want to see how you did yours. Are they regular TSL's?

I'm really envious of you guys. I wish I could go :mad:

I still say you should just show up, we'll find you a seat!
 
You can ride with me, Jeremy. Sounds like you've got more issues going than just the XJ not being ready though, so it's all good.

PM me if you want to ride over and hit the trails with me. I'm leaving early Friday morning.
