lol people still want to pile in my jeep, just because most people i know drive a mustang or a vehicle with even less room than my jeep lol. Plus it's nice to park anywhere you want without worrying about getting stuck

Punching out the nuts is officially the fastest and easiest way of replacing the broke bolts. Although if you get a bolt bigger than 7/8 long they won't fit around the bend. The difference of an inch and 7/8 amazes me.

Jeep rides so much better than before, still not a caddy but for my standards it's pretty good
