looks like a bolt that holds the body mount to the frame. I would start there.

The one body bolt and the body has to be lifted up about 2-3 inches to remove the broken mount. I suspect u will need to remove several body mount main bolts to get the body loose enough to lift that much clearance.

I have my jeep body fully removed for several upgrades and was easy to go outside and take pics of the area.

Or as mentioned previously, u could just trade it in on a new jeep. That is a sure fire way to resolve it.
