Stripped front skid plate bolt mounting threads

need some advice and recommendations. One of my most forward skid plate mounting threads on the frame are stripped and bolt does not seat all the way in. Anyone have some recommendations for a repair shop or recommendations on how to repair? thanks

 

M12 x 1.25 tap and die. Can be bought multiple places online. Home Depot says they have them in store, I've never seen a tap that big in a store. Dealer dicked up 2 of mine and I had to clean up the threads. Do both the bolt and the threaded boss.

 

@Yacob_D

Get with Yacob, you can have him fabricate something else for you while you're at it.

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks for the recommendation! Is his work good quality?

 

I didn't notice your location. Jason @Supr4Lo may have a set too.

 

of the correct size tap and die?

 

I will vouch for @Yacob_D work. It's top notch. Others I'm sure would agree.

I lost a few things in the move, or at least haven't uncoverd them yet. My metric tap is one of those things.

 

I just moved as well and I have lost a few things along the way haha

 

Look next to your 10mm sockets!

 

Lol. Those I have.

 

Finding the x1.25 has been difficult for me. I have like 3 large sets and none of them have the x1.25s in the larger sizes. A few times I've just said F it and rethreaded with a larger one

 

Same, had to buy that one separately. Just to loose it

 

I will learn from you and order a couple of them

 

I can check my inventory! Appreciate you guys dropping my name for the added work. I am busy AF with the new gig and the heat is killing any motivation after I get home. Trying to tackle some side work as it comes but I dont have the time like I used to anymore. If I can help in anyway I'll try, I can be mobile and bring some goodies to make something work if needed.. Lots of work and no time to fit them in.. Should have tried to stick out the side gig longer before I started the new job as now I have a list of folks looking for things.

 

I am in no rush and this is no emergency. We can plan something out after the heat!

 

I've had to use a thread chaser but could also use a tap if you can't find a thread chaser in the correct pitch. If you do that and it won't hold to correct torque check out rivnuts.

 

@jayavilak5 I just had to do this on mine. Chased all the threads for the front main skid. If @Yacob_D hasnt taken care of it.. I can also help out. I just used Taps from work.

 

I have not . Im soo outta of it lately and dropping the ball on these things...

 

no worries man! that's why I asked, I know you're busy with projects and helping others!
