Title: This is too much!
Post by: vantagetes on April 06, 2011, 08:52:18 PM

I cursed lightly at your use of torx headed bolts for my tailgate.

I swore loudly and threw things at your genius idea of using an internal torx on my drive train.

We were getting along ok removing my roll cage with your T-45 and then you did THIS TO ME?!?!

Chysler how could you? A tamper proof T-45? Friends off.  >:(








Speaking of which anyone got one I can borrow? I'll probably get fed up and grind the head off by around 11am tomorrow.

Cool, Thanks. I'll give you a call if I decide not to show Chrysler what I think of their "good ideas" with my grinder.

I have the tool and still had issues with some of these on my cage - welded nuts on to get them out.

the security bolts are starting to get really random... ie this one I spotted the other day at Mcmaster-Carr...

Looks like a Robertson head that didnt make the grade. Someone just capitalized on their mistake ;)

Against every principle of good mechanics - I took a TJ cage apart with a big mutha set of vice grips last summer

PS I drilled my own t-45  - and it broke, which got a sideways look from our snappy rep when I traded it in LOL

Thought about vice grips, ended up using a hammer and chisel to spin them out  ;D
