    I’m removing my Predator side steps from my 19 TRD Off-Road. When I unbolt them, can I put those bolts back in the factory holes or is there a specific Toyota part for a cap that can go in those holes? I’ve seen folks installing them and removing what appears to be a flat flathead type bolt or threaded cap. Thanks!!!

    I believe it comes with plastic caps/plugs that fill the holes. I’m not sure what the part number is though.

    I put some Anti-Seize on the bolts and put them back in.
