I have just installed a new rear bumper from roxolid. I like the bumper. It has straps that extend under the unibody frame so it can be attached to the same place as what I am guessing would be a stock trailer hitch. The hitch mount holes have nuts welded in inside the frame. I cannot find a bolt that will fit.

Wondering if there is anyone who can give me the specs for a bolt that will fit that nut.

Thanks,

John

 

well theres quite a few different nut strips you could have. The bolts i put in mine were 5/16 although i only used nuts on the bolts.

 

These nuts seem to be welded inside the uniframe rail.

 

yeah thats a nutstrip. its a metal plate with 4 nuts welded on.

 

Got it, thanks

 

Sorry to thread jack....but any idea where to find this metal strip with the nuts welded to it? Just bought a hitch for my XJ and need them strips so I can mount it up. Any help would be great. Again sorry to thread jack. Don't know the size of he bolt you need.

Sweet thanks!

 

you can use washers and regular nuts, thats what i did. just put a weak tac on the nut and held it with it, snapped it off after i was done.

 

I could do that but I think I would much rather have the slides with the nuts on them. You can just slide them into the frame and there ya go. Make it a little easier removing it and reinstalling it if I ever would. Which is highly unlikely.

 

Still need to know the bolt size. What diameter and length ???

thanks, Randy Oceanside, CA

PS: planning on putting in a gas tank skidplate and rear hitch and need
nutstrips and bolts .... Seems the strip does not come with bolts.
