C1111toro Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 After searching for countless hours I finally stumbled across this new old stock set for an XJ. The fronts were missing one of the brackets and the hardware, but the rears had everything. I will be installing them this weekend. I plan to replicate the front bracket and I am going to attempt to use the rear brackets for the XJ using some inspiration I got from the many articles on this site. Here is the eye candy....

C1111toro Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 One of the nuts for the mounting bracket on the front snapped off. It should be loads of fun getting the stud out to be able to use a new bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think pressing them would probably destroy the bracket. If the stud has a flat head on it on the other side of it, you could use a grinder to grind the head smooth and then the stud would pretty much fall off.

C1111toro Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Thats what I thinking. Using and Dremel with a cutoff wheel and then punching out the stub. I just didn't know if there are any threads in the bracket or is it a friction fit stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1111toro Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 I did Dremel the head off and the bolt cam right out. Dremel was small enough to access to the head of the stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1111toro Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 I finished the install of the mud flaps today. I used strokercomanches tutorial but utilized the factory XJ rear brackets in my install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
