I just got a set of factory side steps for my 03 X from another newsgroup
person and they came with the 14 bolts, but not the frame inserts.

So I was looking online and it looks like Mopar part #6504397 for about
$3.50 a peice will be what I need to put into the jeep frame to be able to
connect the side steps.

My local dealer's parts department is already closed for the day so I will
have to give them a hollar tomorrow, but is this something that all the
dealers will have in stock?

Is there any way to get around having to also purchase the installation nut
and installation bolt to be able to fit the frame insert rivet things into
the jeep?

If not does anyone know the part numbers to the installation tool items and
how much jeep is going to stick me for?

Thanks!

Was looking at it again and it appears I will only need 4 rivet fastener
things on each side. That should bring the cost down alittle bit :-)

Check ebay. Those inserts show up there all the time.

Yeah, Ive already checked that all out. But for $15-$20 for 8 rivet things
plus shipping, I think im better off just paying the dealer $30 and just
picking them up localy.

Do you have any idea about installing the rivet things with out the special
jeep tool?
