Where to get driveshaft to T case yoke bolts???

[Atl-Atl]

So I finished my SYE and installed the t case in the jeep but I still dont have my front driveshaft installed because I cant seem to find the bolts that bolt the cardan end of the shaft to the t case yoke. I had to use the stock front bolts for the rear and I cant seem to find an auto parts store or hardware store that has these bolts. They are bigger and longer than the bolts that bolt the u joint to the axle yoke. Fastenal is my last effort tonight before I have to go dig around in a muddy/snowy junkyard for some more stock bolts. Someone please help!

I have a couple sets I believe. When I was looking for bolts, I took the yoke off and went to the local Fleet Farm and tried in the metric section till I found what I was looking for. HTH
If you still cannot locate any, let me know and I will ship you a set of four.

My napa couldnt find them this morning when I was in there getting my new front wheel bearing/hub assembly. I brought one from the rear of the t case in to fastenal and they didnt have anything but the guy told me the correct bolt size is 5/16" 24. So I went to the hardware store, got some hex head 5/16" 24 bolts and they fit perfectly.

That guy that runs the NAPA is kind of a dick.

I'm surprised that Fastenal didn't have them. I've gotten some pretty odd bolts from them before. I just hate their hours. Have to leave work early or have a day off to do business with them.

Fastenal is more of professional supplier, not a retail supplier. Having said that, I can hit them on the way in to work, all the ones I'm familiar with open at 0700.

It's not a complete surprise that Fastenal didn't have them on the shelf. They're going to stock their fast moving inventory, anything else gets ordered in from the warehouse.

TSC/farm and fleet usually has a good selection of oddball sizes as well, that's where I got the ones for my 8.8 flange.

I bought the small Dana 30 bolts and straps and the bigger 5/16-24 bolts from NAPA. The small turdy bolts where the only ones listed for a 99 XJ front and rear. Kinda strange. I had one of the 5/16" ones and he came out with a few boxes of straps and bolts till we found em'. Maybe 15 bucks for both sets.
