Bolt size for '02 T4R Running Board installation?

wiferunner · 03-23-2006, 09:11 AM

I've got a set of running boards on their way to me for an '02 4Runner - anyone know off the top of their heads what size bolts are needed for installation? Would be greatly appreciated.

I think I used M8 for my 93, and the holes in the mounting points on my 01 look the same size, so I would say M8 as well. This info is being dragged up from the deep dark depths of my memory and may be way off, so you may want to try one before you buy a bunch.

I do remember my 93 had nuts and studs already welded on the mounting points so I only had to get the matching nut or bolt for each, don't know if my 01 is like that, I don't have running boards on that.

I think there is one bolt attached for the front mount. You use the threaded peg also. There are 2 pegs, 1 in front and 1 in back. The front is threaded and you need a bolt for it. The back is just a peg to help hold it in place. SO 2 nuts and bolts for the back section, 2 for the mid and 1 nut and 1 bolt for the front per side. So 10 total.

Thanks guys - I may be new to the forum (at least new to posting, been perusing for a while now), but Yotatech is definitely the place to get your questions answered.
