    A lot of the bolts on my Jeep are cap bolts with the washer more or less integrated onto the bolt - if that makes sense. Think the bolts that hold the diff cover on...

    Is there a place to order these types of bolts? All I can ever find are regular bolts that need separate washers. Thanks.

    Try McMaster-Carr. I would imagine they would have them as they stock just about everything else.

    Your local Lowe's should have a few sizes. Not much selection, but a few.

    In case you need to search for them, they are called flange bolts/nuts.

    Another useful jeep fastener that you may need to search for are "Kep nuts"
    They are the nuts that have the multi-toothed lock washer built into the nut.

    Kep nuts - I think those are the ones that bolt the shackles to the spring perches.

    Thanks for the replies guys.

    Totally Stainless sells a lot of OEM style fasteners for restorations. They have head styles that are flat or recessed (like on the dash) and have captive star and split lock washers.
