Nipples

No, not those nipples, these nipples



They cover the bolts for the factory tow hitch. Both of mine have fallen off and I cannot find the part online. I would rather avoid going to the stealership. Any help would be appreciated. (sorry for the lack of areola )

 

let me check mine out and see if i can do without them. If i can do without 'em, ill actualy be in wichita this saturday and can would possibly be willing to part with demz.

 

Damn it! I thought it was the other kinda Nipples.

 

Wow, Thanks for the offer. I would hate to see you go without. I think it might cut down on the possibility of rust forming on the bolts after the paint chips off of them. But if you really don't want them I won't turn down your generous offer.

I was mostly interested in knowing if anyone knew where to find them. I've looked at a couple of parts places as well as ebay and can't seem to find them. it may be because I don't know exactly what they are called.

 

I had to get mine from the stealership. Expensive little buggers. Glue them on if you replace them though. I stepped on one wrong after replacing and it popped off. Luckily the plastic "clip" didn't break and it popped back on.

 

LOL, it is a dirty dirty trick and I apologize... but I got you to look. Besides I have no clue what they are really called.

 

well, i was looking for them, but i came across the tow hitch installation .pdf http://www.customtacos.com/tech/files/2005+TacoTowHitch.pdf and it seems that they are called 'bolt head caps'...i tried doing a search of that, but i haven't had any luck so far, but maybe you can find something.

 

Just throw some stainless bolts in there- It's like piercings!!

 

yea i searched everywhere and couldnt find them. ill check mine out tonight and let you know if i need em'

 

All I have been able to find is the complete hitch assembly/kit. I think I'm going to have to make a deal with the devil and visit the parts guy at the local stealership.

 

Look at the diagram and see if its #8 or 9 hope that helped

Thanks for the link, but that is for the non hitch bumper. Those do go in the exact same spot as the rounded caps do.

 

cool get a little more in deph if anything give them a call.

 

I considered putting a tiny pair of driving lights there for use in seeing the trailer hitch in the dark.

But I know I'd eventually back the truck into the trailer far off enough to bust them off.

 

Just give me a little bit of time, by mid morning 10:00 AM CDT I will go to my truck and grab the invoice where the part number shows, I just ordered 3 weeks ago a pair, $20.00 shipped. It was almost the same amount for shipping and the cost of both.

Regards.

Got it...

Part number is:

$11 51999-04030 Receiver Hitch Cap

51999-04030 Domed Bolt Cap.

I hope this can help you.



8 is listed as a "Cover"
9 is listed as a "Cover Outer Seal"
10 is listed as a "Cover Inner Seal"

Looking at this diagram, "9" is the cap that you need.

(This last info was taken from Toyota nation after "google" the part-number)
