Anybody know what the thread and size of these four hold down bolts for the front skid plate are?

They're the ones that lost them and don't have any in stock. .

Demand that they replace them. They sure as hell can order some. Drive without the skidplate until they get them. I know you use a 13mm wrench to get them off. I cant remember the thread size though- damn, I had to buy a few recently. If I figure it out, I'll let you know.

BTW, your user name isn't about to the band Dash Rip Rock, is it?

Dash Riprock

Had a problem with that stealership big time. Bell Road Toyota in Phoenix. In fact had to go through Toyota USA in CA to get it resolved-which they did with a goodwill check. Anyway, nobody has those suckers and all they have is a part number listed, no size. Hence why I'm asking.

No my AKA is not referencing the band. :drum: But rather a classic tv show. .

I think they're M10, but not sure which thread pitch. All the auto parts places have a cross reference to the wrench size.

I have one broken off, 2 factory (13mm wrench) and one "other" (12mm wrench). I'm just going to drill the holes out and replace with some selftapping bolts.

You're kidding me, NOBODY on these boards knows this?? . . . .

We can't remember every bolt size!

Thanks.

Me either, that's why I was simply hoping somebody was doing something with them recently and had it fresh in the brain pan.

Binghamton? Nice town. Is GSM/Universal Instruments still there?

Dash

Binghamton nice town? Yes Universal is still here and doing poorly.

Kinda what I figured. Manufacturing will soon be something taught in history class. . .

Hey now, you have an outdoor nationals there (MX). That has to be worth something.. .

The correct size for the 4 bolts that hold the front skid plate are m8x1.25 x30mm and the head size should be a 12mm hex

Dash Riprock

Wrong. But thanks for the guess.

Wrong. But thanks for the guess.

When the dealer said "OK, here's your vehicle, but we lost the bolts for the skidplate," you should have said "wrong, try again."

J/K- good luck finding it...

I just put some 5/16" self tapping bolts I had leftover from the sliders in there - pretty damn close.

Note: The Toyota fasteners seems to run one wrench size smaller than what you can buy out there. So, if you use a 12mm wrench on the factory ones, it will probably be a 13mm for the replacements.

Dash Riprock

Do you always give out bad information, or are you just not too bright? Honestly.

BTW, I demanded a lot more than a handful of hardware from that dealership, and I have the check stub prove it.
