Why yes I do... You can go to e-Bay and pay close to $40 for the rubber grommets and screws, OR you can go to Home Depot and pay $10. I just did this over the weekend, it's a snap.

What you're looking for is a rubber grommet with a screw insert. The ones on your Jeep are a metric, the ones I put in were a 5/8" diameter by 1/4-20 screw. They keep them in the drawers in the fastener (bolts) area of the store. The drawer said "specialty fasteners" on it. The grommets sell for about 95 cents each, and I bought a package of 1" long 1/4-20 thread screws. get the ones with the flat top so your sliders will fit over the top of them!

Good Luck!

Well,Idaho,you were right on the money.Went to the local Home Depot
last weekend found the parts and had the rack on in @ 1hr.
Just to be curious,I went to the local JEEP dealer and priced the factory ones....Almost $6.00 ea!!!!!!
Lemmee see:
dealer= 12 @ $6.00=$72 :eek: H.S.
HD=12@$.95= $11.40 for the well nuts
12 .250/20 flt hd screws @ 4/$1.49 =$5.96
$17.36 as opposed to $72( which by the way would have probably had to have been ordered)..
My MOMMA didn't raise no dummy,
It don't take no rocket scientist
and all those other catch phrases
Thanks man been passing this on to all the JEEPERS I know :bigthumb:

No Problem!! We aim to appease...
I'm accepting donations to the IdahoJeeper 96 XJ upgrade project fund :cheers:

I feel your pain on the price, I figured there had to be a cheaper way than the gold plated SOB's from the dealer! Glad to help!
