Just bought a set of used FACTORY Rubicon rock sliders to put on my 01 TJ. Anyone know what type bolts to use to put them on? No pre-drilled holes underneath or sides!!!

Thanks in advance!!

They are called rivet nuts. Little inserts that you stick into a hole and they can be crimped to hold in place. I pulled em out when I took mine off. Anyway they are threaded so you can use machine screws.

Just an example

or you can just drill the hole and use a regular bolt/nut combo. The only backside of a bolt you won't be able to get to the most forward hole. if you want, you can use a 1" hole saw to drill an access hole in the support structure near your feet to slip a nut and socket in there.
