I'm installing a JRC Offroad rear bumper and came upon this glitch. I have one OEM nut strip on the right side that is in the way. I believe it is there to support the exhaust bracket (97 XJ). Should I cut through the sheet metal and then through the nut strip behind the exhaust bracket, so as to retain the strip for the exhaust bracket and free up space for the JCR bolt-ons? Or, maybe re-tap the rusted nut strip threads so that the JRC bolts will strew into them, then cut the protruding nut strip that gets in the way of the JRC bumper attachment plate, Or... did someone else solve this successfully?
