wtf, i got to travel 45 minutes to be able to buy a grade 8 bolt <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> there are tons of parts stores and hardware stores but none of em have the bolts...

yes im venting, its irritating dammnit!@

We had a Scotty's close up in my 'hood. Went there and it was mass confusion!! They had everything 90% off...so I went to the hardware aisle, found all the grade 8 I could...put them in the cheapest bins--.19,.25,.29 cents and paid $30.00 for all..Well let me tell you...all sizes, course and fine thread..with nuts and lock washers!!!...What a score, I got about 200 nuts and bolts!

I feel your pain. However, I've been doing some side work at a junkyard and I bring home a can of OEM bolts everyday!

my local scrap yard lets me fill a big coffee can of fastners for $5. cant beat that

if you want good bolts go to beckwith in delmont. they used to have a large selection of bolts from cat machines. proubaly the same price as what you paid at auto parts. digger and i went to the falls on sat there was fresh marks on your favorite trail ! when are you guys going again? let us know.

hey BAJG I alwaysge mine from gateway fastener in export. I think home depot might have some.

Home depot around here sucks for fasteners. All they have is butter bolts and a poor selection at that.

And this is why more and more stores are not carrying high end fastners...guys like you see it as an invitation to rip them off. We're always bitchin on here when rigs get ripped off <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> its this kind of attitude in society that is causing it.

Badassjeepguy,it maybe just as far but try The Nut House in Latrobe,it's on Ligonier st. They should have any nut or bolt you could ever want for that jeep.

It's the same here. I asked the "bolt" guy in Home depot for grade 8 stuff and he just looked at me then asked if grade 8 meant it was 8mm. I have to go to farm and ranch stores to get grade 5 or 8

mabie its cause i'm a newbe, but isnt a grade 8 a grade 8? cause orchards supply hardware usualy has what i need, and if they dont then there is a lumber store downtown that will have it.
