im trying to mount a winch plate to the front bumper reinforcement bar and i can see that on the left and right sides there is 2 holes that are already pre tapped. i want to use these existing holes to bolt the winch mount to but my problem is figuring out what size bolt will fit into these holes. is there any way to figure this out or does anyone know?

 

A picture would help

Most likely either M10 or M12 x1.25

 

M12-1.25 X 50mm Hx Hd Cap Screws Fine Thread CL10.9

if you mean the bottom bolts that are circled, I wasn't able to find them local. Had to order them on Amazon


if you mean the two mounted on the frame, not sure what size. I would be able to check in a couple of days. I would recommend tying your winch mount into the 4 on the front and the two on each side


(this was an attempt to recycle the bumper from my 81 Trekker but will only be using the winch mount)

 

Here is a pic of the already tapped holes i want to use.

 

see edited post above, took a little bit to find the pic i was looking for

the Trail Gear winch plate is tailor made for toyotas, pretty good bang for your buck and saves a lot of work IMO

I paid $120 for mine 9-10 years ago

 

Those are exactly what I needed I already picked them up at a local hardware store. Thanks for the help
