Rear bumper step pad plug???
ok, I have been searching all over the net, calling dealers, searching ebay and I can not find a replacement plug for the hole in the rear step pad where you can put a spare hitch ball. 
The dealer is telling me I have to buy the whole step pad assembly to get that plug, it's not available by its self. This seems ridiculous to me, I have to think this is a commonly lost item.
So does anyone know where to source one, or maybe have one for sale?

There's lots in the yards over here, I get little parts all the time. Hope you can find what you need. Even if you do have to purchase the whole step cover, it shouldn't be that much. I had to get one of the bumper top covers and it was like $35 is all.

I was going to get the more expensive one, the 1/8" black polyvinyl flooring. I did a rubber mat from JC Whitney and it lasted about 2-3 years and is all cracked now. The OEM mat was dark blue, which I would prefer, but black will do.

Thats it! I called them up and shipping is more than the part, $6.95 for the plug and $7.75 to ship it, so I'm going to hold off until I either have some more to order or find a used one somewhere.
Thanks!

well, brought them that number and surprise surprise it popped right up! Cost me $5.11 with tax, picking it up tomorrow. It was a different parts guy so I didn't get to say 'I told you so', but maybe he'll be there tomorrow when I pick it up.
