Other than replacing the entire fender, what is the best way to replace the broken studs on the front fenders (the studs that hold the front clip onto the Jeep).
I drilled it out and welded on a new bolt as a stud. In a pinch, you could drill it out and then use one of those dry wall anchor things (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Crown-Bo...0242/100349321. That stud is only needed to hold the header panel in place. I went a few years without a nut on that stud on my 99. Didn't really hurt anything.
Yes. Drilled through and then weld from the back side. It can take awhile to drill through. It's a pretty thick piece of metal on the backside of the fender, just have to be patient. I use antisieze on everything when I put it back together now.
