FS[NorAtl]: Jeep XJ rear nutstrips
That I can give you cause I happen to have a nutstrip. Not sure if it is a OEM one or a Crown one because they look the same and have holes for the rivets. Another reasons that I am thinking OEM or Crown is the fifth mounting point. My problem is I don't have a clue as to whether it matters. JCR ones don't have the fifth mounting point either. And the holes for the rivets to secure it in the uni-body just kinda make sense to me to hold in place when bolting up trailer hitches, gas skids, etc.
Can do. Going to go out soon to work on the Jeep. Starting the rear bumper removal. Well going to take off the bumper caps and stare at. No idea how I am going to handle this. So I will dig out the nutstrip. Just need to finish my morning routine. Still wondering about the importance of the fifth mounting point though.

Everybody. Just a heads up. I just got off the phone with the company. He gave me 2 weeks lead time to deliver the strips to me. (They have few other projects that takes precedence). Hopefully that's ok with everybody
I have a passenger side nutstrip. Only markings on it are 174RH. Factory part# is 52001174. Not sure if it is factory. Thinking not because the whole part# is not there.
But the measurements line up with the diagram in Post# 8. So using that diagram the center of the rivet hole on the left is 3 3/8" from the center of the first nut on the left. The center of the rivet hole on the right is 5 1/2" from the center of the fourth nut from the left. Now here is something weird. I believe I have a factory gas tank skid. I think it is off an '00 or '01. The third nut from the left in the diagram does not get used. There is no corresponding hole in the gas tank skid. But there is one in the Uni-Body. Well at least on the driver's side. Matched up that nutstrip by flipping it over.

I'm totally fine with the lead time, Neal. Mark me down for a set and shoot me a PM or FB message on where to send paypal payment to. I'd rather pay you for a product I KNOW is going to be quality versus get something that appears to be "iffy" (no offense, JCR - but nutserts? REALLY?!?!)
