Battery Tie down bolts?
Does anyone know what the fix is for replacing the battery tie down bolts (all-thread?
Where to purchase new battery tie down bolts clips etc.
Know of a rubber strap tie down that works as a replacement?
Know the actual size of the all-thread?

got mine from the dealer years ago along with the new clip nuts which were where my issue was- not expensive IIRC under $14 for all. Use plenty of never sieze on the threads going forward!

It must be that time of year. I replaced my batteries today and I found out why my one battery tie-down bolt is flopping around. The little clip that it screws into is missing. Bungee cord seems like a really good idea. I don't go off-roading, just usual bumps up and down my dirt road.

They have no problem at all handling the bumps...
Be careful with aftermarket or homemade tie down bolts.
If they are too long or your replacement batteries are shorter than stock the bolt can protrude far enough to puncture the wire loom under the tray causing electrical headaches for you down the road.
