lol Greg glad you have some thoughts. I'll post pics in a sec of what is going on. I don't think I can put heat to the surrounding area as its a body mount. But I can heat the actual bolt. Yes the easy out is stuck in there and it broke almost flush with the end. So I'll go take some pics and maybe you or some others can some up with some ideas. I want my step back but most importantly I want my cab secured. lol

Pictures. This is what I have. Thought about trying to weld a nut on the end to get it to spin out.

I may have found a way to get this thing out. I am thinking about cutting the collar off of the mount enough to weld a nut onto the bolt. If that gets it out then I will weld the collar back on and rebolt everything.

I figured I would give it some time. See how it goes. It's gonna rain for the next week so no cleaning but natural cleaning. lol

I'm liking the clean rear end though.

You can out a pic in your sig under user settings. If you want to post a pic in the forum easiest thing is to use photobucket and they have n automatic file for that.
