Default funny xj frame question

that other thread reminded me of something..

when i was doing my lift and unbolting the upper control arm i droped like a full set of sockets into my fram rail one at a time lmao i was soo pissed i kept dropping them in and couldnt get them out and soon there was a full set in there and then i relized that botl i have been tryin to get out wasnt even a bolt it was a stud haha im an idiot

lol ya so when i stop or acclerate now you can hear the sockets rolling around in there

anyone else do this? prolly not cuz im just dumb

dont cut out the bottom.... you can just cut a square of floor out and fish your hand or whatever in there. and not do that much damage
