There are several Torx bolts...

McMaster Carr (mcmaster.com), or possibly Graingers (grainger.com) should have them. Also, there is likely a local nut/bolt distributor for the local shops, they would be able to get them for you as well. Some hardware stores have some nice selections. Here there is a hardware/lumberyard called Guy's that has a ton of miscellaneous nuts/bolts of every makeup.

I think he implied you need to be more specific which bolts are you trying to replace? IE door hinge?

That's how I took it as well.

Generally, we won't bust your nuts until you have a good solid post history...

like say...



10?

LOL....Just off the top of my head I will rattle off the Torx I have used on the JK:

Hard top
Soft top
headlights
door hinges
windshield
mirrors? (I think)

I am going to assume the door hinges, for now because you still havent said which ones. Those ones are aluminum. And $20 US a PIECE. I know this for a fact as I seemed to have misplaced one doing this: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-write-ups-39/bedlined-door-hinges-55020/ and had to order one.
So if you want to replace them put your old ones on the forsale section and make a solid $100 off them

Other than that I dont know why you would want to replace any of them. Please explain as you have me wondering now.

Fastenal carries them. There are over 1500 stores nationwide. I'm sure there is one near you.
