Front skid plate bolts

[Brian1973]

Well, I'm down to 2 bolts to hold it on.... sheared off 2 and sheared off 2 previously.... think there were a couple sheared off before I owned the truck... guess these darn bolts rust up pretty good.... any ideas what I should do about this?

Pull one out, go to the nearest hardware store, ask them for the closest thing in stainless steel. They'll have something close enough as makes no difference.

Half a dozen will probably set you back $10.

Anti-seize on the threads will make your life easier.

Amen. Basically every non-electrical body bolt I remove and return gets a shot of pblaster or anti-seize before going back in. Even if I don't pull it again, it's just a layer of corrosion protection.

are you able to use a bolt extractor tool on them? What about drilling them out?
