'99 XJ - rear bumper bracket bolt size?
Hey all,
Need to install a trailer hitch and know that removing the rear bumper bracket so I can install new nut strips is going to probably require cutting/breaking the existing 8 bolts (4 on each bumper mount) that attach the bumper unit to the frame.
Can anybody confirm for me what size bolts these bracket mounts use so I can pick up replacements in advance of trying to tackle this job tomorrow?
Thanks in advance...

OMG I cannot tell you enough to plan and if you don't cut things off spray the crap out of everything with PB Blaster or something. What I thought would be a quick installed turned into 4 hours of frustration. Mostly my fault for not researching enough. Between the bolts and the lack of coverage to get tool to the bumper attaching bolts. YIKES. Lucky I only paid $10 for my Class III hitch at the JY and made sure I got all the bolts with it. CCKen link is valuable information. Also check out this link from eTrailer.com

They have an installation video which might help out.
Take your time.
Good Luck

Thanks for the links, gentlemen!
For future reference in case anyone searches and finds this thread, it appears that part #34201540 is an M10x1.50x30mm bolt.
