... and the front eye bolt stripped out in the nut welded inside the frame. :censor:

I had replaced the factory bolts with the kind you can lubricate. When installing, I thought they looked a little odd. Same size bolt and all but the head was 5/8" instead of 21mm. :wtf:

Glad it happened in my garage. And yes, the other side will be changed out also. mr-green
