YJ clunk in front end found

Ok so I found that my steering box bolts were loose. no problem right. Actually found that they werent loose the nut that was pressed into the frame came out so both bolts could not be tightened up or loosened up. Cut them off and now going to drop a couple bolts into the frame and put a couple nuts on the bottom side. Going to weld the bolts in there to keep them from turning.

Tell ya what. its a good thing I didn't go wheeling on sunday at big dogs because the way the frame was cracked and the two lower bolts being loose the steering box could have very well ripped off the frame. it is fixed now. Dropped two larger 9/16 bolts down through the frame and welded them in there. Then bolted the steering box mount to them. welded the cracked area of the frame and reinforced with some steel plate. She is ready to roll again.
