    Does anyone know where I can get the bolt I have pictured here it’s circled and the arrow points to the whole it goes in. The nut on the other end spun free and I was unable to remove it so I have to source another bolt and the end nut too

    Ended up realizing the nut *was* welded inside the box of the cross member. I broke it free because Toyota doesn’t even have that part listed. That must be a manufacturer’s defect ?? I feel like that shouldn’t happen on a 6 year old frame.

    I will say this: nowhere in the parts does it identify a separate nut for that, soooooo :rofl: Time to tap into your ingenuity!

    I figured the best solution was to feed a 2.5 inch sleeved with 1 inch of thread through the back side. I welded that in from the front and then ground it flat and then reattached the rack. So instead of one stud there are now 2.
