Where to buy drive shaft bolts?

[Bfaulken]

I'm missing 2 drive shaft bolts, nuts, & washers to connect the DS to the rear Diff...
Where can I buy these? I tried the Toyota dealer, and a local 4x4 shop, with no luck. I emailed Trail Gear about the ones they sell, and theirs are a little too short from what I can tell based on measurements and what the guy told me.

Would NAPA carry them? Or are ours the same size as the ones on 1st and 2nd gens? If so, the TG ones should work I think...

Any other suggestions/recommendations? Thanks

From my experience, they are the same as ones in the 1st and 2nd gens. Hard to believe that your Toyota dealer couldnt get them for you

That was my thought. They pretty much snubbed me and referred me to a local 4x4 shop, who said they didn't have them either. Kindof disappointed with the dealer's response, but it is a dealer after all.

Go to pick n pull pay the dollar to get in and they can be had for free there!

I think that would still be stealing....lol

I got mine from Marlin Crawler. If you cant get there there, I have extras.

If there was a salvage yard close I'd go look, but my Runner (aka my only ride for a while) is out of commission until I finish replacing the diffs, add oil, bleed the brakes, and jump the battery, along with getting the DS bolts. The nearest salvage yard is still too far for me to get to without a car, as far as I know.

Just to clarify, any bolt I get from Lowe's or Home Depot would be too weak, right?

Your dealer is being lazy. Try another one if you can. I can probably locate the part numbers if you definitely need them.

Yeah I figured. There isn't another one nearby though. I went ahead and ordered the ones from Marlin Crawler since it was easy and doesn't require finding a ride. Thanks [MENTION=54671]yukonrider[/MENTION] for the heads up!
