So Many Broken Bolts, Need a Little Help
 

I took my skid plates off about a month ago since I was POR-15 the entire frame. Well a few of the bolts decided to snap on me. I tired looking for replacements at Home Depot but I couldn't find the right ones. I know they are 12mm but what are the specs on the bolts I need? On the other hand I getting really good and drilling and tapping the old ones out.

What truck ?

2000 4Runnner 4WD

m8X1.25 thread pitch

I think you'll find if you search for this info, it has been covered before ;) :)

I knew someone would hop in here and say that for me ...

:horse:

You have to go to a "good" hardware store that carries a variety of metric bolts. Most Toyota bolts are a .125 pitch tread. Take a good bolt with you to make sure.

Or, just go get the bolts from Toyota. They are the exact same price, and you know they are the right size and length the first time.

From such an experienced forum frequenter like myself you think I would of known to do that...... Especially on a tech site like this..... I will make sure it doesn't happen again. ;) Thanks for the info.
