    Hey guys I'm looking for the part number for these bolts missing a couple . I can't find any parts diagrams that show them. Got some new skid plates to put on but should get these fixed first. 20240611_195449.jpg

    The one who dies with the most stuff wins.
    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think those brackets get removed with the install of most skid plates?

    If that were my truck, a 2021 OR, those holes would be where some of the bolts of my TRD plate would bolt to. Don't know what you had on there, if anything before. I would consult your new plate manufacturer's instructions. I have no clue how the basic OEM skid plate mounts - those holes maybe used, don't know.

    As already mentioned, the braces come off with some manufacturer's plates, not mine.

    They look like pre-drilled holes from the factory for future mods on the trucks.

    TRD Skid plate. The regular skid plate/s that comes with the OR and sports doesn't use those holes.

    There should be 3 large bolts in each of those brackets (I think both use three, maybe one uses just two?). The thin factory skid plate mounts to the tabs off to the side with M8x1.25 bolts I believe. I don't know how the TRD skid plate mounts. The brackets are presumably there for some crash structure, otherwise they wouldn't use such large bolts.

    They are M8-1.25x20mm, nothing special. Toyota PN 90119-A0173. The smaller hole next to is M6(?) and holds the metal engine splash shield (51405-04010).

    I put some anti seize on them before I reinstalled my TRD skid. I’ve been told that it will quiet any squeaks and help with corrosion.

    M8x1.25 are the little ones that hold on the sheet metal splash guard/skid plate. The big ones that hold these brackets on (and are reused for some aftermarket skid plates that remove the brackets) are
    $13 M12x1.25 mm Self-Locking Nylon Insert Hex Lock Nuts, Pack of 6
    M12x1.25, and it looks like they are actually 7 of them not 6.

    Yep sure looks like someone just removed the the TRD skid plate unless other skid plates use the same mounting points.
