    This thread was about plugs in the frame, but I found duck tape works best and is cheap. It's been 11 months and all is good. (Installed Nov. 2014)

    Seal them all up except for the holes on the bottom side of the frame.

    Also, there is a huge hole (2-2.5" diameter) in the body mount perch that needs to be sealed too.

    Here is another pic showing the location of the "7" plug, which is part # 90950-01991. I haven't been under my truck so I don't know how many total you need.

    Dumb ass dealer wants $5, for each plug! Geeze, I was thinking $20 for all of them. Injection molded plastic... If I can find them for cheap somewhere else, otherwise I'm going to go home brew, and do my own custom mod.

    If you're handy at making things just get a flat piece of aluminum and cut the pieces to fit. JB weld them in place and paint to match.

    Doesn't Aluminum on steel facilitate corrosion? Seems like I read that somewhere....

    Found it:

    Thanks for the info !! I have recently fluid filmed my 2012 RC and wanted to FF the extreme front inside of the box frame. I was hesitant to remove the factory plugs on the frame as they seemed to require too much force to remove without breakage. Now That I have the numbers I ordered spares from toyotapartszone.com so I can complete my FF application.

    Cut plastic to size and use RTV silicone to glue them in place. Inexpensive and will seal better than factory plugs.

    After applying crc I used marine grade silicone (thanks to DoorDing's suggestion) to seal the smaller holes on the frame sides and cab mount top.

    Be sure not to cover bottom drain holes :)

    Isn't the concept of frame plugs that they are removeable for inspection and re-coating of products like Fluid Film or Rust Cure Formula 3000 ?

    That's why I used silicone instead of something like JB Weld, I can easily remove them later if I want to inspect or reapply crc and then reseal with more silicone.

    That's why I ordered the plugs from Toyota. Cheap Enough.
