Let me start off by saying I have a clean rust-free frame and have had zero issues the past year removing and replacing bolta and nuts. With that said, I was doing some general maintenance checking torque on CAs and other important suspension components. While I was at it I decided to check the torque on my skid plate bolts since it was removed by the muffler shop for exhaust rework after my TT. I suspected they didn't use or even know the proper torque for various TJ bolts. So, I set the torque wrench to 55 ft lbs. and went around the 6 bolts. The 3 on passenger side torques fine and the rear driver side also, but the middle and front bolt tightened a little then broke free. I'm like wtf? So I pulled the 2 bolts and threads from the nutserts were wrapped around them. So they either cross-threaded them or overtightened them (would that happen if they did?). I checked and the nutserts are not spinning; the threads are stripped out. Either way they fucked them up. I've had that skid off many times the past year with no issues. So, do I order the nutsert kit from @mrblaine and change the 2 out or all six since im doing it and it's possible they overtorqued all of them with an impact. Wish I had the tools to do exhaust work because all I can hear right now in my head is Blaine saying, "Quit paying people to fuck your shit up." Anyways, I am asking whether to do the 2 or 6, but mostly venting. Thanks for listening.
