Junkyard is your best bet. Keep looking. I found one off a ZJ, had to drill a couple holes for it to line up.

If you're not in a hurry, check picknpull's inventory. Also increase search radius. Might have more than one nearby.

If still striking out, might have to wait for black Friday.

Good Luck.

Thinking you have new hardware to go with the tie brackets.
Cut 'em off.
Yeah cut the bottom off and the top of the bolt was too long for the strip to come out of that small hole, again story of my life. Finally got em out now I have to clean everything up and apply sum paint to keep ole Mr Rust down.

I thought that might happen but don't you have to open up that hole anyway to put the Nate's brackets in?
Which would mean they should come right out?
Not that it matters now.

My buddy used the Nate's brackets to build off his bumper he made. They are very sturdy, use the hardware they came with, not worth drilling out the holes for 3/4" bolts.

Update: Just did some searching and apparently Nate is back in business under the new name of "Uphill MFG". Still under the Nates4x4.com
