Just got some tow hooks and there are no u nuts included. Can someone point me to a supplier or do any of you guys have any spares?
Any help is appreciated

I haven't tried them yet but here are a couple quotes from a different thread. This option may be just what you need...

Just did the install. I was missing the 2 u nuts and 2 bolts to go with them. I couldn't find a metric u nut with the correct depth to match the others. Most metric u nut depths that match the OEM bolts are 19mm and you need roughly 28mm depth. I went with sae thread Napa Balkamp u nuts part #665-1961 package of 3 you only need 2 of them. They are 3/8 - 16 screw size and just picked up 2 sae 3/8 - 16 Grade 8 bolts and washers from them. I think the bolts were 1 1/4 length. You can go longer if they don't have the correct length.

A GM part number comes up for the u bolts that matches the Jeep OEM metric bolts with the correct depth. The number comes up in their computer but they said no longer available.
Good information!

If you buy from Lowes/Menards/Ace, be sure the center of the hole to the edge is deep enough...
