    Don't mean to jump in, ok I do haha, but I have been racking my brain for 2 days. I found a bolt that I believe is off of my truck laying in my driveway. It's a 14mm one inch threaded shaft with a washer seated at the top. Any idea where this could have come from? Truck is only 3 months old!

    Lots of that size bolt underneath the front of the truck.

    Skid plate mount maybe?

    Yeah I replaced the factory skid with a BPF one, but that was 2 months ago. Also did the suspension about 2.5 months ago, but I paint marked those and rechecked them. Plus none were that size that I removed. This has been driving me nuts haha, prolly not even off of my truck!

    Yeah I've laid under it for almost 2 hours and can't find a missing bolt hole, but I do see similar bolts, but nothing exactly the same.

    Funny, i found a bolt that looks just like that in my driveway a few months back. Do you have an access cab? Is your back door not closing tightly?

    Hey everybody. I just got a 2015 Metallic Silver TACO and I was wondering what kind of cleaning products do you keep in your truck for everyday use? I live in San Francisco and we get a lot of fog, eucalyptus tree oil and of course pigeon poo. What do you recommend? Thanks.

    OP - have you taken a good look under the hood, bolt might have come off of something higher in the engine compartment.

    Do you ever back into your drive? Maybe it's from the backend of the truck.

    On my '14, I found a loose bolt securing the brake line to the steering knuckle (connects upper and lower A-arms together). Probably left loose from lift install, but it looked similar to yours. Hope you find it.
