    So I picked up a cheap pair of truck steps that are bolt-on but they didn't come with any mounting hardware.

    Can anyone tell be the bolt sizes that are required to mount steps/sliders to the frame? I know the frame has threaded holes already but can't seem to locate the size needed.

    Thanks!

    They are the Tyger Auto TG-AM2T20048 Textured Black Star Armor Kit (for 2005-2017 Tacoma Double Cab | | Side Step | Nerf Bars | Running Boards). Link here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AH5IEO6

    I know they aren't quality sliders but I got them for less than $50 & just want them for protection from door dings in parking lots. And a bit of look updates. No hardware was included so I need to source the size of bolts required to mount rails/sliders to a 2016 TRD Sport. The holes should be the same in the body/frame. I guess I could have misread that the holes were threaded.
