x2. Also helps prevent the thread from rusting. The standard bolts jeep supply with these vehicles are pretty cheap quality. It would be worth changing them all out to have a smooth machined shank and only be threaded where the nut has to sit - but this would take a fair bit of time to sort out with correct measurements and sizes (which might be a bit difficult, not all bolt shops will stock what is needed).

What if you shit yourself? How tight is that?
