Anyone have the specs for the bolts that screw into the TJ body? I know they are "M5-.8 screw" (from the instructions) but I think I am missing the length and probably the tread pitch?
I was going to put on the fender flares on this past weekend and then realized somehow I misplaced that envelope of screws 
I was hoping to go to a hardware store and grab some so I can get the TJ inspected again 
M5 x .8
M5= diameter of threads
.8= thread pitch (thread every .8mm)
If these bolts are only meant to go through the flare and the sheet metal I wouldn't think they'd be more than 1" or so long. Best bet would be to call Bushwacker customer service and see if they can tell you. (800) 234-8920
Are they they flats or pocket style flares? For my Xenon flat flares I think I bought 1.25" SS hardware.
Bolts don't look very long... maybe 1/2" or 3/4"

When I replaced the hardware for my Xenons I used SS and also much larger washers on both side of the bolt. Gives it more surface/contact area to hold it in place. One day I'll probably make a one piece steel bracket that'll run the inside edge of the flare to run the bolts through.
I've heard of guys using zip ties to secure them so they dont get damaged on the trail. Plus its easy to remove them before a trail ride. Not sure how it set up.
I have had guys at DMV actually yank on the flares before
Wow! Mine would probably have come off. I never used the provided bolts though because the allen head was a pain.
