Default Better body post 'stubs?'

Well I paid like $23 for the two parts bags to get me both body posts... just to run on pavement, flip and nearly tear them off already...

Looking to make something a bit more permanent/replaceable... but I don't want aluminum ones.

I hate the idea of going to aluminum, because from my 'research', when you hit the aluminum parts harder, they break more expensive parts that are harder to remove as well.

Thinking something along the lines of cutting off the originals, drilling out a hole and putting some sort of bolt setup in there?

I was thinking the bolt thing too before you said it, crazy. Do it with your old ground down ones first.
What body are you running? My stock body saves the posts really well. but if you're running a body that is tall in the read like a digger body I know those grind through posts real quick.
