    Hi All,

    I had to remove my front TRD skid plate and engine splash guard on my 2011, and due to corrosion I had two bolts snap and get stuck in the spacer blocks (blocks between the plate and the frame), and one block was missing entirely. I can drill out the broken bolts, but since I'm missing a block I'm trying to order at least one new one.

    Does anyone happen to know the part number for these blocks, or where to find them? I've checked the parts diagrams and none seem to show a spacer, so it's entirely possible these are aftermarket since I bought the truck used. I also can't seem to find a similar part when searching the parts sites. Attached is a picture of the spacer block in question. If all else fails I can find something to make one out of, but I'd prefer to match as best I can.

    Thank you!

    TBH I'd just get a chunk of aluminum and drill a hole through it.
