Bolt size question

[Huskey]

My 05 T4R never came with a skid plate when I bought it (second hand), and my ARB skid plate requires the use of the original bolts for the lower skid mounting... I see where the holes are in a small crossmember below the radiator and that they are rusty and caked with junk and will require a tap before I can get a bolt into them. Anybody know the bolt size and thread count (fine or course) on these bolts?

almost anything on a new toyota is a standard 8, 10, 12, 14, 17 or 19mmx1.0 bolt. I'm not by my truck, but I'd say it's either a 10 or 12. My bet is on 10x1.0

I just replaced all of mine last weekend when I changed my differential and transfer case fluids. I have a V6 - not sure what you have or if the V8 is any different. But on my V6 there are 2 skid plates. Each skid plate has 4 bolts. Total of 8. I just bought replacements at my local Toyota dealer. I can probably find the part number if you want when I get home. I think I still have the paperwork. But I want to say for all 8 it was 20 something dollars. Probably could have bought them cheaper online at Concielli or something but I just wanted to get it done that day.

Might check out this thread since you've already said you're going to have to tap the old ones out.

I was thinkin it looks like a 10 or 12 but I need to be sure befor I run a tap through it. I can get bolts no problem, I just dont want to have to drill and retap for a bigger bolt. A part number would be great if you could find one just to be sure. I have a V8, but it shouldnt matter for this bolt

The bolts are M8x1.25

Part number I purchased for my V6 is 90080-11373.
