    Hey all,

    I believe the bolt is OEM Toyota, and probably a 13mm. I’ve banged it on enough rocks that it’s now a 14mm lol. Anyways, it’s approximately 50mm in length total. Any one have part numbers or recommendations on bolt size and I’ll just grab from a hardware store? It goes to the very back of the front skid, where it connects the engine to the transmission skid.

    It's not OEM Toyota because Toyota only uses 12mm or 14mm heads. It is a metric flange bolt. RCI will probably sell you some if you call them. Or you can look at places like Ace hardware or auto parts stores. Or I'm sure there is an online store that sells them.

    Probably 25-30mm long

    Don't be that guy ordering a single bolt on the internet. Just go to a hardware store and compare it

    The ACEs I go to have those screw size finder jigs in the hardware department. Take the bolt with you, screw it into the test jig and it will tell you the size.

    8x1.25 40mm length.

    be careful tightening those. The nuts inside the crossmember are a pita to tighten if the tac welds break

    That is the way to go. Although the prices of fasteners like everything has gotten crazy. I was in Ace yesterday and a 8x40mm Stainless bolt was $4.99 each!
