Well whoever painted the YJ painted over all the bolts and hinges. Can't fold down the windshield, which means I can't replace the cowl seal, which means my dash will continue to hold water every time it rains.

Went to start drilling out the passenger side rear shock bolts (uppers of course). Got started drilling a pilot hole. 7/16" or something like that. Started to break through the other side, that's when it snapped. Didn't have anything small enough to knock it out. None of my other bits would drill it. They'd get down to where the broken piece of bit is and throw in the towel.
I'm screwed. I don't have a lot of money to be buying bits and ****. I barely have enough time to even get it done before we take our vacation. Which involves a 750 mile trip one way. I really wanted my other rear shock.

Sure do. I'm open to suggestions.
Tried like hell because I hate drilling. Started with a BFH and a punch. Then tried the air hammer. Nothing.
Well aware of how common it is. Lol. Snapped 2/4 on my 91 4/4 on my 99 (the one I was originally talking about is the 99)
