    I found a snapped bolt connecting the frame to the towing hitch reinforcement after removing my spare tire. I’m hoping I’ll be able to use a hammer and remove the old one to install the new bolt and nut. Went on the database and was looking at replacement parts. It seems the nut has been discontinued.
    Are the parts highlighted in red the correct?

    The nut is still there, why do you need a new one? Just get the bolt, it's right here.

    I'd start by hitting it with penetrant a couple of times over the course of an hour, then trying to zip the nut off. Not sure what's actually holding it in the frame there.

    But I also don't know what you mean the nut is no longer available, it's right here. Clearly the part number you're showing is in the 'previous part number' section :confused:

    My local dealership has the bolts at under $3, why would you pay Ourisman for shipping on that shit when you could pick up locally cheaper?

    I wanted a new nut just in case I couldn’t remove it from the broken bolt.

    I plan on picking it up locally. I was just looking at the Ourisman website for LBJ prices and was searching.

    you are correct I was able to find the nut and it was under the previous part number.

    When I go onto autoparts.toyota.com/ it had my truck saved, and when I input the part number, it came up with a list of parts not the one you mentioned above. But when I removed my vehicle from the search that part number came up right away with the new part number.

    I also noticed that you are missing Fluid Film all up in and on that frame

    Likely this assortment would have the correct bolt and nut and might be closer

    That broken bolt isn’t coming out without a good amount of heat to expand the nut. You can then use vice grips to grab the bolt shaft and spin it out.
