They never gave me one. Their only solution was to cut off the loose bolt that was screwed into the nut. So I brought it back to them and they just cut the bolt off and said tey took care of it. When I saw it, I realized they just did that and there's no bolt in that right front hole. So now the plate is just mounted using three bolts. It ain't going anywhere, but still. Really annoyed by it.

Appreciate this Seatia! I'll look into it.

There are many grades of Loctite red, some require heat to remove, others dont. Blue is ok ive used it for years on various parts. I use to use alot of Green in specialty transmissions as well. This chart only has a few of their range but you get the idea. I think blue for most parts with red for specialty stuff

The cost will be minimal if you do all the prep yourself and just employ the welding.

It was the choice at the time, one could use a regular SS flat washer, or as I chose to do all black coated hardware (it blends in with the black skid)
did an oil change at 7500 miles interval, I have a the trd skid plate and the front push nut bolt retainer was broken from a previous oil change. It wasn't too difficult to line that up. One bolt in the rear wouldn't go in all the way, so i had to rethread but it works now.
Oil change took about 15 minutes besides the rethreading.

Did you change over to using studs instead of the bolts?
not yet but its crossed mind again, I have this forum bookmarked for reference along with the replacement retaining bolt. Its maybe twice a year if that I'll need to remove the skid plate for service.

You will be very surprised how easily dropping and re installing your skid plate will be with studs & nuts!

I remove my TRD skid plate after each trip to the beach to gain access for washing.

I had to get the 100mm because the 70mm were not available. The 100mm works fine for the rear because there is room for them to extend above the mounting point.
