I believe they are a 9/16" bolt.  Grade 8 might be tough to find at Can Tire tho.

If you're in a pinch I'm sure you could find them in a grade 5 at any hardware store... just replace them with grade 8 stuff at some point.

Gregg's Distributors. They sold me Grade 8 hardware for my winch.

Go up to the counter, find what you need in the catalog, (or if you know size, length, and thread type, they'll find the part # in the catalog) and they'll pull it from stock for you.

The core of their business is selling to other businesses - but every time I go in, they always seem happy to help me out.

There is also The Bolt Supply House and Calgary Fastners for hardware.
Buy some safety glasses.

Dave, XJ's are different. They don't use cam bolts, only TJ's and ZJ's.
