Ahh, where could one get that clip for the third bolt hole??? I have a rear hook on my wifes but haven't found any way to get the third bolt hole filled in, and I've been to dealerships and they don't know what to do!! I got the rear hook and rear skid used from a guy with a renegade that installed a rear hitch. Any help is appreciated!! Thanx.

Check the following thread. What you are looking for is called a 'U-Multi Thread Nut':

Thanx!! You the man!!

It's lived without the third bolt for a few years now!! We don't wheel her jeep, it's just there for 'just in case' ya know, but we did pull out a fairly large shrub with it earlier this spring and it didn't seem to mind the force! Only took a few small bumps in 4lo, and only minor tire spinnage on the lawn. Still, I'll feel better with the third bolt in there!! Thanx again.
