I believe there are 10 in a LWB, and 8 in a SWB. There are some instructions floating around on a page somewhere but cant remember where.

10 lwb.

2 rear most ones have a captive nut in floor channel.
Acessible from inside rear floor under rubber grommet.
Use a lot of heat on this nut to loosen hitemp loctite.

8 bolts and nuts for the front part of a lwb with 2 bolts screwed into welded nuts in the rear (can be a bastard to remove if you're not careful)

If the captive nuts break loose, (like they did on mine!!! :x ) you can cut the head off the rear 2 bolts from underneath with an angle grinder, and then knock em' through with a hammer!!! just be carefull with the grinder near fuel tanks and fuel lines!!! :twisted:

ENJOY!!! :twisted:

And yes there are 10 mounts! just in case!!! :D
80series SAHARA, 3" lift, 33" Cooper STT's, F & R Lockers, (they're still cheating though)
