Are you talking about the torx bolts?
I would assume ace hardware would have them.
If not, find a different bolt with the same thread. Torx bolts are a pita to remove if they get stripped.
I managed to lose one of the star bolts holding my hard top on my 04 rubicon. The bolt is very similar to the ones that hold the 2 tow hooks on the bumber. I still have the square nut that it connects to. I haven't been able to find anybody that carries replacement bolts like that. Anybody know where I could look? I have looked in hardware stores for that type of bolt, I have even surfed the net through countless jeep sites and no luck. I tried to put a different bolt with same thread and that did not work. Problem with size and needed to big of a washer.

As Jeff said, get a bolt with the same pitch and thread count and replace the torx bolt. just pull the same bolt on the opposite side and head to a hardware store.

The fawker who inventer Torx should be taken out and shot!
In all honesty, use a hex head, or Allen if you must, and replace all of them!
X3 on dumping the torx bolts. Put a hex head bolt with the same thread pitch back in its place.
