ive been crawling all over the jeep the past few weekends and ive noticed that Jeep/chrystler/whoever really likes those torx bolts - they're everywhere. i have to say i really dont care for them. I've been going through it and swapping them out for hex or philips bolts, but theres just no end to it!

providing you have the proper tools to deal with them the torx bolts are stronger and allow you to apply pressure to a larger surface when turning them[addsig]

torx bolts are amazing when you are using a drill to fasten/loosen things in a hurry...

The heads on the bolts hardly ever strip and they seem to stay on the bit better...

However keeping track of all the pieces can be a pain in the arse![addsig]
