i stripped a torx bolt in one of the tailgate hinges that attaches to the tj tub ): any and all suggestions on how to get the bolt out would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!! i feel soooo stupid...sad sigh

You can get some bolt extractors from sears, they might work for ya. If not weld a nut to it.

Here's a 5 pager from our local board about doing something like this...

Good luck, any of the torx on the body tend to be a real PITA

I'm sure you're the only one with that problem!

I'm sitting here with a double burden. All-4-Fun is 9 work days away. Somehow I've got to look busy for 8 1/2 more days.

Lol, i go on vacation saturday, so i have 4 more days. Atleast i can look at my jeep out the window.

hello everyone,

i went to a local body shop and they removed the two stripped torx bolts for $30.00...it took 30 mins, i'm very happy (: btw, i tried to remove the torx bolts myself using a bolt extractor it didn't work for me ):
