Amazon Imposter skid plate

Hey y’all, I bought one of the Amazon skid plates that look like the TRD version. Like most of the reveiws I didn’t receive any instructions with it and I’m missing the rear 2 bolts. I’ve got it hung by the front 4 bolts. But I have no idea what size bolts/pitch count are used in the rear. Any help would be appreciated. -Kenny-

Did you try the front bolts to see if they fit in the rear? Assuming they'd be the same size, you could get them at any hardware store.

Also, did you contact Amazon? They're usually pretty darn good at returning stuff.

 

Thank you!

No haven’t contacted Amazon, had everything else in the package. Figure I’ll just leave a review and go buy some bolts. Hardware store is just right around the corner.

 

Glad to help

 

Post the link so we know

 

Here is a link to the skid plate. It bolted up just fine and seems like a quality piece of aluminum lol. I added a vinyl decal for fun. I left a review with the spacer placement and perspective bolt sizes for a reference to anyone else missing instructions and bolts.

Paying less than for real TRD Pro skid, needing to buy my own spacers and bolts, guessing the spacer thickness. Some things, for me, are worth paying for.

 

The stock rear bolts can be used

 

Yeah, pretty sure on my knock off one, you use the stock small bolts in the rear. Big spacer goes in the middle, smalller spacer goes in the very front.

 

I installed some Bilstein 5100’s yesterday with an Icon add a leaf. I removed the factory skid plate while I was working, then got interrupted by the kids and night time routine. Pretty sure the factory rear skid plate bolts ended up in the trash truck this morning with all the other boxes and trash I put on the curb. I couldn’t for the life of me find them in my garage. Overall pretty satisfied with the skid plate. I definitely wouldn’t have tried to install it without the spacers. Thankfully they were in the box.

 

Lots of folks over torque the mounting bolts and end up with a major headache when the tack welded nuts in the frame break loose. My skid has been on the truck for 5 years at 30 foot pounds.
