I just did my driver side and transmission mounts. Every time I
touch those bolts I have that thought.

(prematureeposutlation)

However, I know how to get a nut in there on the ZJ. Just drop
it down the frame member up by the front control link mounts.
It will roll down there just like that fuscking socket did the
four times it got dropped in there.

Actually, a small hole could be cut and a nut with an ear welded
to it inserted.

It's not possible to drill through the member and bolt from
the top? It isn't on the ZJ, but might be if you have space
between the body and frame.
