Lost driveshaft bolts

[offroad4r]

Hey guys, I lost my driveshaft bolts- anyone know the exact sizes? I'd like to run down to a hardware store and get the bolts to finish up my truck today... Thanks!

I did a search, but didn't find it... :spider:

these are .. grade 11.. bolts . general purpose hardware bolts are not safe . get the correct ones

+1 the hardware store bolts will shear off with much less force than the correct bolts.

They are M8x1.25, about 1.25" long with a shoulder.
In a pinch you could use the grade 8 metric equivalent sold at Lowes or Home Depot.

Thanks for the info guys! Your posts made me re-think using just any grade 8 bolts... I left the hardware store and called Toyota to purchase them... They only had one...

I spent the rest of the night looking for them and guess what? I had left them bolted in their spot so I wouldn't lose them! LOL... I'm a dumbass... Thanks again!
