Finally ran a chase tap through body mounted nuts, and replaced the fasteners with Grade 8.8 M8x1.25x20mm stainless bolts. Just thought I would post this for anyone with the older? bolt/nut sizes. I was surprised to find them as M8 after reading this thread.

Just tried to do this on my 2010 SR5, and after looking at it, I'm not totally sure how the plate fits. I'm a total noob at this, but how do I even get the OEM plate off? Can't even see the bolt under there anywhere.
The TRD skid plate will fit the 2010, yes?
