on mine, the stock bumper attached to the body, not the frame. IIRC it used (4) bolts vertically that all snapped off when trying to remove them

Yep, likely M12-1.25 if there are existing threads. If not, any 12mm bolt will work or 1/2" if you can't find 12mm. At least that is the size on the Tacoma rear bumpers. I never had an OEM bumper on my '85, but use 1/2" bolts to mount my rear bumper.

12mm wrench = 8mm bolt if I remember correctly. I though a 12mm bolt was a bit big for a bumper so flimsily attached to sheet metal . . .

You'll find that the majority of the machine bolts Toyota used were:

a) Undersized heads (a Toyota bolt with a 12mm head has a 14mm head at your hardware store)

b) Toyota used semi-fine to fine, never coarse.
