Never would have guessed that, but then again my 82 still has the exhaust on the frame. Hope to be stripping the frame in the next couple weeks.

FYI, Jak is 1000 percent right on his answer...those are the OEM frame side reinforcements when either the OEM rear CJ-8 step bumper or "draw bar" on CJ5 or CJ7 was equipped.

I wouldn't/didn't have the first clue... but

... Jersey knows this stuff cold... if I took something off my own CJ and Eric said it wouldn't fit back on, I'd probably believe him... I love having that kind of knowledge around here (goodness knows I need it)...

Fun game to watch though...

Jersey for sure knows his stuff. I actually just finished my exhaust and removed the front steering stabilizer (will be going to high steer)... hes on point with both #5 and #6.
 
Been distracted again. Had to change the starter on my Wife’s land cruiser. Why Toyota decided to put a starter behind an exhaust manifold requiring you to drop the exhaust to replace a starter I don’t know! Took 10 hours to get the impossible to reach bolts removed and the new starter installed. Now I get to do it all again because the rebuilt starter from o’reilleys is intermittent and not reliable. Oh joy! Fun part is, I have a Tundra with similar miles on it, and it has the same engine, so I might be needing to change that one too. Oh joy!

After doing that a few times you can probably get that time down to 7-8 hours. :)

Would be 4 hours if half the bolts to the exhaust manifold were not blocked by the strut tower. Grrrr
 
My buddy is a MM over at Lexus and I see him dealing with those types of problems a lot
 
I'm not sure how anybody can be a professional mechanic and seriously make money with as tight as these engine compartments are and as many doo dad they hang on engines.

Without these,

There are about 4 nuts that are IMPOSSIBLE to get a wrench on and actually be able to move the wrench. Those things are indispensable when working on modern cars!

I had to run my impact through one of those to loosen a nut, thought it would destroy it, but surprisingly it did not. I was pleasantly shocked. And the nut came loose!
