Where would I find some of these nerf bar mounting bolts?

I was using the original / stock nerf bar mounting brackets to attach some home made rock sliders and I sheared one of these U-bolts (M-bolts?) off. The one in the photo is intact and looks like it should. You thread them through a couple of holes in the frame of the Jeep and can then attach the nerf bar brackets with 2 nuts - pretty clever. I was able to weld a nut on the sheared end and get things back together for now but would like to replace that one and have some spares on hand. Anybody know what these are called and where I might find some?

I could go by the local Jeep dealer but doubt they'd be any help unless these are used on more modern Jeeps.

A junk yard might be the best bet.
Those are used to hold on the front tow hooks on kj's.
Yes they are known as M bolts.

Ah, good info re the tow hooks. The used tow hooks I bought and installed had a different fastening system but I see them new on Ebay with the "M bolts". I won't be buying $200 tow hooks to get those bolts but gives me hope that the bolts are still being manufactured and are available new somewhere. I'd rather not buy used due to corrosion or potential yielding when originally torqued.

No amount of googling M bolt or M-bolt comes up with anything similar. I also can't find a Mopar parts diagram with the tow hooks that would break down the kit into individual parts numbers.
