Need Advice on Repairing Broken Skid Plate Bolts

My 4runner is fairly rusty underneath. I have 2 skid plate bolts that are broken off in the front skid plate mount under the radiator. I only have one remaining which I do not feel very good about. I am doing some AC work and the area is wide open right now. I have 2 broken off bolts inside the nuts that are welded to the lower support beam. Any ideas as to how I should repair this easily?

Your only option really is to drill them out. Once you've done that, you need to run a tap through in order to thread new bolts in.

Your option is to drill and tap your self or hire someone to do it for you which it will cost like $80 to $100+ to do it. At lest that is how much it cost me to remove a broken bolt on my customer's motorcycle.
