    Hello all !
    I am replacing my stock taco chrome rear bumper with a high clearance bumper.
    The 4 bolts (and 2 nuts) that mount the arms to the frame - does anyone know what size these are ? and what the torque spec ?
    so far , the consensus I have found on torque is 59ft/lbs

    I should replace these with Grade 8 , yes ?
    M?

    Thanks !

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    If I was really stuck I have used 7/16" out of the bolt bin.

    If you pull on the bumper and do not have a hitch and can not find Metric Hardware grade 8 will work fine.

    If they come out clean, I suppose I can re-use them, but they are over 20yrs old and a bit rusty. I would rather put in some bombproof new hardware, the new off-road bumper has a built in hitch receiver so I will be using this to tow or cargo.
