    Can someone please help me out. I’m installing a AP front skid plate. I can not for the life of me find the right 4 front mounting bolt sizes, and no it’s not M8. It’s between M12 and 7/16 somewhere.

    When you say stock do you mean the TRD skid plate? Because mine has 6 mounts. Two in the back that are M8x1.25 and 4 in the front that are above 7/16. I’m thinking maybe the threads are cross threaded and I might have to try to re tap them.

    I just put on an after market front skid and the four bolts that hold the oe skid are M8x1.25- the aftermarket skid plate I have comes with 6 new bolts- all M8x1.25

    Mine reused the same four forward mounting points (and then two additional to the rear)- I know for certain as I thread chased each of the four existing holes
