AZ BS Thread 4²0

I ran out to grab some in n out for dinner to enjoy while watching the first episode with the wife.

 

He pretty much painted my tacoma lol

 

Man that was really refreshing to watch the grand tour. Awesome show. Can't wait for more.

 

Hey @Delta00 finally got around to killing my DRL. I owe you a for always being helping in your thread when I ask questions.

 

Yes, but they aren't going to bolt into the frame because grade 8 is only SAE

Edit- if you break any bolts by hitting something with your bumper, you're gonna have other issues

 

Yeah I gave up. I'm going to try to reach out to flakes about hardware. Spent $280 on a bumper with no hardware, what a joke.

 

The metric equivalent is called class 10.9. I would use those. Like Connor said if they shear you probably have bigger problems.

 

@swalters just give trail gear a call and tell them you need the bolts for your bumper..... You'll get the exact stuff you need that way. And in sure you'll have it before thanksgiving if you call em tomorrow.

 

Yeah but when I keep getting told I'll get the hardware and I don't it's very frustrating. I hate buying things and them sitting in my garage collection dust.

I saw the hardware required on their website. It'll probably be cheaper if I can have Andrew grab me some from his work. I was just trying not to bug him and get the bolts myself but no one carries grade 10.1 or 10.9

 

Home Depot bolts are holding my bumper on. Cross-threaded and all. Still holding pretty tight

 

Sam that's kinda fucked. It's your friends here cut them some slack.

 

Had this happened with someone else I would be just as frustrated. All I need is the hardware and I can get it to flakes. I'm not asking for much. Maybe I will just go through trail gear so I'm no longer a bother.

 

No problem! Always happy to help!

 

@swalters, I think lowes also carries the bolts you will need. May just have to do some pavement pounding.... I would also try Caterpillar in mesa off country club, they have a nice selection of hardware as well...

 

SAE Grade 8 = Metric 10.9

Check out McMaster.com. If you can't find a bolt on there then it doesn't exist. Also, I'm sorry I told you about this website if you didn't know about it before. Your wallet will hate you.

 

We tried Lowe's :/ if trail gear wants an arm and a leg I'll try there. Thanks man!

I have sifted through that site before haha they have some cool shit. I believe I almost bought some anti theft nuts from there when my light bar was stolen.

 

what sizes do you need? I can look at work tomorrow and see if we carry them. We have a good selection of hardware....being the industry we are.


you may also try mcfaddendale or copperstate hardware in phoenix by the air port, broadway area. they have good selection. my sisters boyfriend also owns a hardware company and I can have him check...butttttt you gotta get me the sizes sense I sold my shotgun to fund that exact bumper you got and all .

 

Dooooood now you make me feel bad haha I can't remember the sizes off my head. I'll have to find trail gears link.

And I believe it's the trail gear tube bumper with stinger for a 95+ Tacoma

 

I won't lie, I hate the bulkiness of arb. My roommate has one and it's clunky haha

 

I know it says on their site... im just trying to find ways to fix my effed up hood without painting my damn truck....so i can always check the sizes in a few lol. dont feel bad, first with cash gets the prize every time.
