Mopar Transfer Case Skid Plate

[RonnieD]

I have recently acquired a factory transfer case skid plate for my XJ. The only problem (besides it is the factory skid :lmao: ) is that it did not come with any mounting hardware. Does anyone know what hardware is recommended with the installation? I have briefly searched the internet and it seems that I may need 1/2 inch nutserts to get the job done, which require an "expensive" custom tool? :confused:
