Looks great, but did you lose the rest of your Jeep in the parking lot of Home Depot?

I don't know exactly what they are either though. I think they call them Ty-Rap Anchors or Mounting Blocks. I'll try to find a part number or ask one of the engineers tomorrow at work.

Only thing I've used them for is mounting cables up under desk tops.

Edit: Well after searching for a min I found them online. Seem to only come in packs of 100 though. I even found black for you guy's.

That website shows several sizes and colors from several company's.

:Edit

That price is ridicules, I got mine at Home Depot for nine bucks.

Then I had to call the store, and finally one of the guys in hardware remembered that they also have zip ties in electrical. Apparently having the same thing in two places is a good idea, especially when there are different things in the two places.
However, it is done now.

Now there's a sign of a true jeeper when you take yours to bed with you!

Ok, every place I go looks at me like I have an arm growing out of my ass when I ask for zip tie blocks. Does anyone know where in Lowe's or Home Depot they are? The zip tie section doesn't have them, so that is out.
I've tried every hardware store, crafts store, and Wal-Mart and K-Mart in town and nobody knows where I can find them. Anybody have any clues?
I know exactly how you feel, i had the same problem. I finally found them at Home Depot in the electrical aisle by the zip ties. It was funny though because there were a bunch of self-adhering cable holders and stuff to the left of the zip tie section, it wasn't until i looked very closely that i finally found them in with all the different size zip ties. I tried to think of different ways to mount them, but in the end, it came down the fact that this was the best way to do it, and that i wouldn't give up til i found them... and eventually i did. good luck with your grill mod, the results will be worth the trouble.

Alright, I didn't like how the metal was working with the paint, so I went and bought the plastic, because I know it won't rust, and I know the paint won't come off. Plus, it doesn't cut my fingers as much.
Here is the finished product:

Lowe's. 30ft for $3.67. It is 6" wide. I had to cut it down in width.
