The general consensus is that the stock bolts suck. They can be replaced with stainless bolts. Believe the correct size is M8x1.25x1"

The bolts I took off are in the box. I broke one, and apparently lost one somewhere between taking them off, and putting them in the house.

I replaced the two missing ones with new stainless bolts from Ace before I shipped the skids.

What is it that these bolts thread into on the frame rails? In my case, these look pretty trashed also. I found this thread with the bolt part number, but I can't find the little captive nut.

Is it a soft metal, or something like nylon?

Thanks!

It's steel...barely. The factory self tapping bolts are known to cross thread, when I dropped my skid plate I tossed the factory bolts, chased each hole with a tap, and used anti-seize on the new hardware.

This was after I snapped one of the original bolts and then snapped a cobalt bit while I was drilling it out....it took an hour and a half to grind the bit out with a dremel and stone. I wanted to make sure that wouldn't happen again the next time I dropped the plate to change the front diff oil. Worth every penny of the $8 I spent on hardware.

Factory skid plate bolts are M8x1.25x20mm (the length may be a little more than 20mm, but the M8x1.25 is correct size and thread pitch)

You can drill out the factory captive nuts to an M10 bolt and thread it if you need to (which is what I did when mine stripped out), after that you will need to completely drill out the nuts and weld in new ones or use RivNuts (the latter is what I am doing tomorrow to install my new RCI skidplates)

I got lucky, even after grinding out the drill bit I was still able to tap it for a M8

These can be installed from underneath right, I don't need to remove the radiator to install from above?

Rivnuts install kind of like a self expanding drywall or concrete anchor. Drill the hole, slide the rivnut into the hole and expand it with either a rivnut tool or a bolt/nut/washer diy style tool. No backside access required. Once installed, they act like a threaded bolt hole. You can install or remove the bolt just like the original skid plate bolts.

Check out these two videos for a diy style tool and general installation instructions.

Drill and tap. It's very rewarding feeling. Check out @J.A. write-up at www.top4runners.com. That site will have your jaw dropping
