Bolt sizes on skid plates

[piecesparts]

Purchased the 3rd Gen T4R not long ago. While doing an oil change, noticed that not all of the bolts in the skid plates are there. There are the two at the back and the front has been replaced by bolts from the new ARB bumper we installed. The center two bolts are missing and the two at the rear need to be replaced, due to wear and tear. Does any know the right bolt size, length, and thread pitch for them? It was on a Sunday when I changed the oil and the supply stores were all closed in my area. I want to get new bolts and be ready when I next get under the truck.

My next course of action would be to go to the dealer and have them look them up, but you never know what they have for information, until you get there.

They are 8mm x ~25mm long with a thread pitch of 1.25
You should be able to buy them from an Ace Hardware store. Sometimes that have what are called "flange head" that are basically a flange behind the hex head. This can help with install since they don't slide into a socket.

The stock bolts can get stripped out and people don't put new ones in.
Likewise, the holes can also get stripped. I installed heli-coils in a few of mine.

find a truck at a local yard and take them off. that is what i do and beats driving around trying to find the correct ones. every time i go to the yard i take crap like that for later use.

I agree on pulling from a vehicle in a yard, But I have not been to a salvage yard for a long time. The measurements given will make it easy to go to my local Fastenal or the Farm Supply store and pick up new ones.

thanks
