Bedrail rivnuts

[Supercraig1]

Anyone know where to source the rivnuts/nutzerts/rivet nuts for the bed utility rail mounts? I’ve been to 5 hardware stores and they look at me like I’m crazy. I’ve found m6 rivnuts on Amazon (ugh) but I’m not positive they are correct. I’ve also seen rivnuts for the Mopar side step listed online but I’m also. It sure if they are the correct size.


Thanks

I would also invest in the wrench driven installation tool, 30 bucks well spent.

See post 17 for part number, give Rustin5 a like if it is the correct part number, picture shows another application. Price is ouch! Those are hex metric riv nuts. I think I came close to finding an alternative once.

Best of luck

Perhaps someone who has not installed the bed rail yet can help out with the dimension of the hex riv nuts.

I ended up going with some hex ones I found online. Fingers crossed they are the correct size....

Keep us posted if they work.

They worked. Although I tried my damnedest to get this done without buying the tool. I was able to use the bolt/extra nut technique on the first 5 of them before I spun one out. So I ordered the tool and made quick work of the last 11.

Glad to hear you got it done. Which ones did you use? Do you have a link and a price? The Mopar ones are costly.

I used these ones.... I'm not crazy to order from Amazon but sometimes I cave to ease: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015A3H97S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Very similar sentiments for Amazon. My local small businesses serve me well.
I grew up with 5 local hard ware stores and 3 lumber yards. Now I have 2 local hardware stores and 0 lumber yards, of course there is HD and Lowes. I was 3rd generation with the lumber yard and opened up my first "account" via my last name. I could load up my truck on my own and go in and tell them what I had.
They were good days with good knowledgeable people.

Man, you can say that again. I seriously miss that kind of local ownership. We have one here about 3 miles away but they don't have a lot of things there, no lumber, closed at noon on Saturday and are in the opposite direction of Lowe's and HD.

So before I order lol...are you sure all 16 securely fit in the bed and the rail is on just fine?? Just to make sure....btw I appreciate you all!!!

Any updates on this? I found some rails for 25$ but no bolts or rivnut.

Also looking for the proper fit for these. Refuse to pay $10.50 a piece at Mopar. You can get like 50 of them online if you can find the right size.

I bought some last year from Amazon and borrowed the tool to install them. They work just fine. I got the hexagon shaped one to fit perfectly in the holes already in the bed. I have no memory of the ones I bought, but I found the right size/part listed on these forums. I think they are the M6 hex rivnut listed above
