<div>“do the welds ever break and ...” </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Highly unlikely. The tubes are of a heavy gauge and are welded all the way around on both ends. They are not just spot welded. If you are concerned that the bolt may be too tight going into the tube you can clean the thread with a 3/8” UNF (SAE) thread
tap.</div>

<div>Internally thread tube, welded to the frame... do the welds ever break and the tubes just turn inside the frame? Sounds like something I'll leave well enough alone!</div>

<div>How do the brackets that support the BJ8 front bumper attach to the frame? Is there one long bolt that goes clear thru the frame? Or are there captive nuts inside the frame? </div>
