    Worst case you can ballpark torque based on bolt diameter, what are they, m10, m12?

    Dug around can't find it, but for refernce the skid plate 12mm bolts are 22ft/lbs. Sub brackets like that are usually 30ft/lbs.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Sounds good to me, that's a pretty safe number for any bolt M8 and over. I doubt it would loosen. Also tin foil is better than plastic wrap, I've bent up my skids a few times.

    They are bigger and more stout than the skid plate bolts. Idk what they are exactly.
