I found this nut on the driveway where I park my JK. It's a 18mm nut. Is there a list that shows where all the different 18mm nuts are located? I already checked the body mounts.

The nut looks like its OEM and not part of any mods. Here's a pic. Thanks in advance.

Check your rubi rails. Those look like the small nuts that that attach to the bolts that runs through your pinch seams.

Those would be 10mm if I recall correctly. The OP said it's an 18mm

Check your front bumper if you have a stock one. It uses four 18 mm nuts like this.

Could possibly be the lower shock mount nut? If I remember right that is an 18mm.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, but still haven't found it.

Checked:
1. Sway Bar End Links (They're now Teraflex Quick Discos, but checked anyway)
2. Shock Lower Mounts
3. Bumper Mounts

All my mods nuts or bolts have paint marks across them. None of them look like they've turned. I've also tried to feel behind any bolts also to see if the nut is missing off a bolt... Nothing so far. All critical components look ok, but I'm still new to this JK thing and could have missed something. This is definitely the same size as a lower shock mount nut, because I test fitted it.

Any other suggestions? I have a Teraflex LCG Elite Lift if that helps.

Thanks again.

Do you know for a fact it is off your jeep? Did you install all of the stuff yourself or did a shop do it?

How funny would it be if your buddy was dropping random parts on your driveway to freak you out.
