Is there any way of finding out bolt sizes for the undercarriage so I can get some grade 8 stuff? I will never purchase a bolt from the dealer other than to use it to buy a real one. My buddy with the 2002 put his 4runner for sale last night. not so proud to have bought from toyota any more. ( should have known something was up after shearing every bolt on my running boards to remove them.) never the majority of them on one vehicle. I have sheard one or two bolts over the years. but its not bad enough to shear a bolt of any quality (3 or higher). And I know I'll hear flames about "look at the rust". but we all agreed that perhaps they should have known that corrosion does happen. I know That engineering means that you can use a strength of material that suits the application and save money.
Needless to say my friend is a ford man again. (this was on the 2002, the bolts looked pretty good actually) drilled a pilot half the size of the bolt in far enough with a drill that could hold the bit properly with sufficient power to do the job. The extraction process was done properly.
My buddy (who was about to sell his Ranger to buy a Taco) is a mechanic came over with all the tools ( taps, extractors.etc.) to help us out.Īpparently the grade of bolts. sprayed all bolts with pb blaster on the day of ordering (AND EVERY DAY AFTER.lol) ( and I love my truck)Īlmost all bolts sheered. My buddy and I got the poly kits from wheelers off road in, front and rear sways and steering racks. I purposly waited over 16 hours to post this as my emotional state would have me thrown off the forum for sure.
