Default Bushwacker mounting ideas... ?

Ok, so I mounted the bushwackers on my xj exactly as the manual said. But some of the screws have already stripped out.. I am thinking that I might try using drywall anchors or something similar to mount them. Anyone else tried something similar or have any other ideas to sturdy em up?

Mine kept coming loose so I used silicon on the screws. Can take them out easily but stay tight when I want them to.

When I had B/W's I used Tinnerman Nuts, got 'em from Lowes.



Use a pair of needle nose pliers to hold them cuz they'll do a number on your fingers.

I was planning on using some of the things frank mentioned for a couple of my screws.

Just a side note, you might want to cut out the inside part of the flares, so you can tuck your tires up higher in the wheel well- I did and I have another 3+" of room before hitting the inner fender.
