Default Mounting Hardware for Rubicon Rails??

Does anyone know where I can get the threaded metal clips that accept bolt so I can mount Rubicon Rails? I called the dealer and they tell me they don't sell the clips and bolt individually, they come as part of the rails.

Thanks!

The extra same bolt and clips are used with the side steps as well. Not sure if that helps or not.

I bought the clips at Lowes. My local store has a great selection of odd fasteners.

Yeah, I have a Sahara and sold my side steps to a guy with an X. The X doesn't have any of the hardware so I gave him mine thinking I could just go to the dealer and get the clips and bolts.

I guess I will try Lowes and NAPA...

I bought the MOPAR off-road rear bumper from a guy off craigslist and it was missing all the hardware so I sent MOPAR a message through their parts website and they referred me to the manufacturer who sold me the hardware I needed. Expensive, but worth it considering the deal I got on the bumper. I'm gonna install it later this week, I'm excited. First major mod.

I ran into the same problem when I bought mine used and the guy didn't have the hardware. I found the body clips at a local auto parts store. I'm sure they weren't the exact ones that came with the rails, but they've held up over a year now with moderate off-road use. Check your local auto parts store. Good luck.
