14 trail skid plate bolts broke :(
Well did the oil change this weekend and the first 2 bolts snapped.. The others came out fine. Soooo I am guessing previous owner over-tightened these.
I have heard of people tapping and putting in larger screws.
Whats everyone suggestion?
Tap and replace stock, or tap and put in bigger ones.

try a Screw extractor set... once you get it seated, attach a ratchet and or break bar to pop them loose.

I put on my lift in December and had this same issue. Snapped one of the front bolts off while taking the bolt out! I just figured the bolt had issues. I took that little piece off, drilled the center and used an small ez out. It worked like a charm and no damaged threads! I wasn't aware that the skid plate bolted up any differently?

14 trail skid plate bolts broke :(
I snapped a front one off a while back too. I drilled it out and ran a larger bolt through with a nut on the back as I was pressed for time. I ended up replacing the support that it bolts into.

It's not the skid plates issue. It's the locking bolts they put on. Great bolts thin skid plate.

I know is wasn't the skids fault but instead of drilling out all the holes and tapping them again I just went with a beefier skid. Used it as a excuse to talk the wife into approving the purchase.
