What did you do to your TJ today?

When I have a broken bolt like that with some nub left I use a mapp gas torch to get it hot and hammer one of these stud extractors over it. Pretty good success rate. Better success rate than I've had with the spiral extractors, anyway. You just use a big hammer and these extractors dig in to the bolt.
They often carry them at auto parts stores but they're usually marked up twice what you see them for elsewhere

Just remember…
French Fries = chips
ketchup goes on French fries
gravy goes on biscuits
potato chips = crisps

Yeah I’ve been up there a couple times , stunning part of the States that’s for sure… I had promised my kids when they were young I would take him to Disneyland etc so I’m keeping to that promise ( even though it’s later than I wanted)
There's one about 30 minutes away. Probably could've gone to Big R and Napa, but didn't feel like sitting in traffic longer than I had to.
I appreciate the suggestion. I'll see what Napa and Big R have tomorrow.
Are you only going as far East as Vegas? If you are going farther east there's some pretty rad stuff. Although most of what I consider rad isn't exactly what most would consider "touristy".

My mate (Who is coming with me) has friends in St George ( I think that’s what he called it ) we will be using that place as a base to go to the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon aswell.
I would have liked to have gone further east to Moab but that will have to wait for another year

Don’t forget Zion
St. George and Bryce Canyon is a beautiful area! Definitely try to make it up to Zion if you have the time. That area will also make you wish you could've brought your Jeep.

Haven’t forgotten about Zion National Park and I’m hoping we have time to drive through it…
Yeah I wish I could bring my Jeep I think we’re gonna be in a suburban
You never know the people we are staying with may a Jeep I can ‘borrow’

If you can, try to get a permit for angel's landing. Although I have no idea how old your girls are. I went with a group of rock climbers and it got our adrenaline going a bit. Mainly because we went before the permit system and I don't trust a hundred or so other people not to bump me off the edge.
