    I will post a picture soon, but while running a harness for an LED bar I noticed two unused threaded bolt holes on the driver side inner wall of the engine room, i.e., the body wall next to the battery. That would be a really useful spot to install a little cable holder for this big ol' harness.

    Does anyone know what size bolt these threaded holes accept?

    I have a V6 2WD SR5 w/Tow. Maybe these holes are for something related to 4WD, the most premium Entune system, an OEM security system, or manual trans.

    I believe it is for something on the standard models. Something to do with the clutch. I used those holes to mount an auxiliary fuse block. I asked on here before and got an answer but can't remember what it is now lol
