    I hate to ask but I tried the "search" function first and just no luck.

    Someone has replaced the 6 skid plate bolts with some zinc plated bolts. They fit well-enough but I'm trying to keep my truck as OEM as I can.

    This is for the plate that protects the oil pan and filter.

    I thought I saved the link someone posted to this same question but I guess not. Thanks!

    If your threads in the frame are somewhat buggered from that grease monkey and his impact, get an M8x1.25 thread chaser to clean them up before you put new bolts in.

    Exactly what I did with mine. Part number for bolt on mine was also 90080-11373. The tip of the OEM part is tapered and chamfered somewhat which makes them easier to line up the hole in the skidplate with the frame you are attaching it to.

    I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. I don't know who that couple had working on their truck but if he was anything like who they had mowing their yard (before
    That's a good idea, thank you. :)

    Just to clarify, use a chaser, NOT a tap. Different tools for different purposes.

    Like in this video? :) Thanks. I appreciate the concern that I may not be familiar....which I wasn't but I'd have asked for what was suggested, "a thread chaser" but you didn't know that and you cared enough to be more clear. :) :)

    This post made me giggle because I'm currently missing one of my skid plate bolts and two others are held on with zipties

    If you need to chase the holes just use a tap, cheaper and more readily available, and useful for other things.

    That's what my dad would say. :p

    I ordered a Lang chasing kit from Zoro last night after reading replies here. I had a 20% off coupon anyway. Want to try and replace those bolts next oil change which should be due next month. Putting a lot of miles on the truck.

    I wouldn't necessarily worry about springing for OEM bolts on this once you get it cleaned up. As long as you get at least a Grade 5 M8 x 1.25 bolt from a local hardware store, you'll be good to go. Tractor supply sells Grade 5 metric bolts by the 2/4 pack. Autozone and Oreilly's also sell Grade 8 metric bolts by the 4 pack, but you don't need to get stronger bolts unless you absolutely want to.

    Pretty much all fasteners you'll encounter on the truck will be metric fasteners. They're sold in the M6-1.00x30 format

    M is metric thread designation
    6 is the thread diameter in MM
    1.00 is the thread pitch in MM
    30 is the length of the bolt in MM

    Thread pitch measures distance between threads. Pitch can vary depending on thread size. Thread pitch will also tell you how many threads per inch there are. A bolt with a 1.00mm pitch will have 25.4 threads per inch, and a 1.25mm pitch will have 20.32 threads per inch.

    Fasteners can also be graded depending on their strength. Most stuff on the truck will be Metric Class 8.8 or less, but there's no harm in using Metric Class 10.9 (commonly referred to as Grade 8)

    @Bought2Pull obviously you do you, but just get one of the metric bolt assortments from O'reilly or wherever and be done with it. That way you have some spare nuts and bolts on hand. No one will judge you for non-oem skid plate bolts. LBJ and crank bolts are a different story.

    I just like the little self-guiding nipple on the OEM bolts. Makes it easier to install.

    To each; their own. I like that the bolts are shiny.

    Toyota fasteners don’t stay shiny long. Their corrosion control sucks on both frames and fasteners.

    Thanks man, I appreciate the advice. And no need for a "you do you" preface.....I like advice and WISH that people that knew stuff had given me more advice because they cared about my welfare, not because I asked for it. :)

    Been pretty crazy with mowing last few days but came to catch up on some posts.
