You're talking to a 40 year veteran as a tool and die maker. I could prolly school you all day as to the do's and not do's when it comes to holes, threads, taps and dies. The bolt broke as I was backing it out. Sometimes the weirdest shit just happens.
I was a little pissed with Line-X as I...
My trail rail had 6mm bolts with 10mm hex heads on them. After getting Line-Xed I did manage to break one bolt off because of the line=x in the hole. I managed to drill it through and then it backed out using a vise grip. Put a SS bolts and washer in till I can get a replacement bolt. Let us...
The Wildpeak MT's have impressed the shit out of me. They are a much better tire than BFG MT's. Looking to stay with the Wildpeaks or maybe Nitto Trail grappler MT'swhen I go bigger

My MPG tumbled when the winter blend gas hit the pumps. I'm in WI. In the summer I could hit 20-22 mpg on the hwy if I was conservative. Trying to do the same in winter I'm lucky to hit 17. I'm running stock 33's Falken MT's and 4.11 gears.
It's the purpose I bought it for like all my previous trucks and jeeps. Yeah they get brush pinstripes but that's the price of admittance, she aint no mall crawler.
Learned how to use U-Tube with a video from last June coming out of one of my grouse coverts I was scouting. Excuse the poor video It was taken with the camera in my Magellan TRX7 which was trying to focus on a smeared windshield. It's all a learning curve for the 60+ year old.
