Need some help figuring out what parts need to be replaced

[T A]

I apologize in advance.. I should have pulled over to double check everything but it was a short trip and I was almost home when it got worse. I thought I started having transmission issues on a short 30 minute drive, but it turns out the lug nuts on one of the wheels loosened and was causing a vibration. The wheel actually came off as I turned into my driveway. Could have been so much worse if it had came off on the main road. I was lucky - duly noted.

So I need some help figuring out how to fix this.
1) What part do I need to replace for the studs?
2) Does anyone know what rim this is and where I can get a matching replacement?
3) Should I get a new fender flare or try to fix this one?
4) Any ideas on a fix for the other body damage? Some armor maybe to just cover it up? This is just a fun project jeep & I'm not planning on spending $$$ at the body shop to fix the rear body damage. I wonder if it's possible to do it myself. Does anyone know if that quarter panel unbolts somewhere or is it welded in.

4 pics attached. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas you have.

You'll need to pull that axle shaft to replace the lugs. I believe those are pressed in so you'll need to press in new ones after you knock the old ones out.

That wheel looks beyond fixing to me.

You can probably bang out that that panel and go with some armor to cover it up. It is welded in.

Can we get a pic of the bottom side of the drum? I'm assuming the drum itself took all the damage and you'll just replace it.

Thanks for the response. I'll get better drum pics this evening.
Would it be easier to replace the axle shaft? I'm not sure I have to tools to press new lugs in and I definitely don't want to screw that up.
The wheel is definitely trash. I need to find a matching replacement.

Take the axle to a machine shop and let them press the studs in.

It should be pretty easy to find a new shaft at a local yard or FB Marketplace/Ebay

Replace the axle shaft (you can just do the studs but more trouble than it’s worth)

Looks like standard steel wheel, maybe procomp 69series?

Get a new fender

Spend some time with a hammer, maybe hi-line the rear or armpit it to taste, body shop might actually wind up being cheaper

I would also replace the drum, probably do both sides to be consistent

Check the torque on all your other lugs, like NOW.

Can you not pound out the bad studs with a hammer and then pull the new ones in with a lug nut and some type of spacer?
I have replaced several this way on various vehicles including CJs and other makes but never on a TJ, I would be curious on the answer.

 

[Jerry Bransford]

The old damaged studs and new replacement studs can be pounded out and in with a big hammer or a 2 lb. sledgehammer.

The wheel looks like a quadratec "Tactik" brand. The back of the wheel might have a brand,part number or something stamped into it to help ID it. Like Jerry indicated you can pound the studs out. Use a old spent socket on the backside that the stud will fall into and the same socket or a slightly bigger than the studs to on the hub to pound the new stud in all the way.

I used to pull them in with a lugnut so I didn't have to pull the axle.

Get 5 studs and lugnuts, a drum and rim. Pound the studs out. Insert a new stud into the axle, add 2 washers, turn a lug nut around thread it on and pull the stud in with an impact. No need to pull the axle.

This, like others have said, the studs aren’t that hard to do, getting them out with a hammer, and then just use washers and lug and keep turning until it’s seated.

I have read that you can press out the old and press in the new studs with a ball joint tool. May save the axle removal unless you need to change the brake backing plate.

 

[Blackjack]

That is a pretty good groove in that axle the wheel left in it. What does the brake drum look like?

 

[T A]

Thanks for the advice everyone. Here's photos of the drum.
Where do you recommend I get a replacement drum and studs from? I wonder if I could get that work that flat spot out on the bottom?
The rim doesn't have any markings on it at all.

I think you could just bend the bottom of the backing plate out easy enough with a small adjustable wrench. Like others above said, pound out the studs with a BFH and install new studs with some washers and a lug with an impact. Drum actually looks ok, but maybe replace to be safe?

 

[Blackjack]

If it were mine it would get a new axle shaft, drum and I would just work the lip on the backing plate to make sure the drum clears.

I found this used one. https://deadjeep.com/products/90-06...r-rear-axle-shaft?_pos=2&_sid=dcc17f671&_ss=r
What do you guys think?

As long as it's the correct side of the Jeep then that's an awesome deal. Lowest I found elsewhere was about $100 or so.

I would pound out the old studs and pull in the new ones with washers and a nut then buy a new drum, have it turned and rebuild brakes. Price is good for the axle, but I would not go through removing the existing axle, installing new bearings on the replacement axle and installing the replacement if I didn’t need to.
