Default Nut strips

I need a set for a hitch receiver I got at a junkyard. The nut strips were gone and the receiver was in the back of the cherokee. It looks brand new so they might have bought it not knowing they needed the nut strips. Anyway, is there anywhere I can buy a set brand new? or does anyone on here have an extra set they wouldn't mind selling?

Damn... I had forgotten. I poked my head under the jeep the other day and saw threads in the holes. Sweet... until I saw this thread...

I'm just going to weld rods onto nuts, but I thought I had an easy hitch install. I'm going camping tomorrow with a quad trailer. :|

Didn't even use em when I put my hitch and skid on. Just put in grade 8 through the hole and put a wrench right inside the unirail and tightened them all down.

I'd rather use em than try and do each individual nut and bolt. Just makes things easier

Either way you have to take the bumper off. Only reason it would make sense to use them if you take it on and off. Do what works for you though.
