    Installed the RagoFab bed stiffeners and the torx bolt fits but it’s not using the washers and lock washer. Toyota is no help on a different bolt that is 1/2” longer. Home Depot bolt sizer calls it 7/16”-20 threads per inch. The replacement bolts I bought are too small diameter.
    I guess I can spend $12 on Amazon for two grade eight 1/2”-20 bolts cuz why not?
    Anyone know for sure what to use for the loop tie down bolt? Thanks.

    Pretty sure all the stock fasteners are metric... no?

    I have Rago stiffeners has no issues installing them with what I received and leftovers from the bed. Did you snap a bolt? The instructions tell you to pry off that washer and reuse bolt which is what I did and mine all fit fine.

    I reused them both but without the lock washer I’m worried it will loosen. A longer hex head would solve that.

    2-3 drops of blue locktite on the threads will eliminate your worries.
