    Hey all, I'm installing a talon's garage cat plate on my 2022 TRD off road. I was wondering what the size of the bolts are for the transfer case brace and the OEM skid plate? From what I can tell, the transfer case brace are 12mm. And what drill bit will I need to screw them back in?

    Thanks!

    Hey thanks for the link! Are the bolts the same regardless of the TRD pro skid plate? My offroad does not have that.

    I installed the Talon shield on my 22 TRD OR... black powder coated steel which is really robust, doubles as a transmission plate and really intimidating for anyone who wants to attempt to steal the cats. Went with SS hardware - M8*1.25 50mm (10) and M8*1.25 20 mm (4), M8 (14) washers and nylon insert lock nut (4). Shipped fast, packed well and quality/ fit is great.
