Tungsten Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Ok here is the deal, I only got 2 bolts left in my skid plate for no apparent reason so I went to the dealer and got all original bolts. Now I have no idea where each one goes... Can anyone please point me to a diagram or post a picture? Or at least explain where does each type stick into?

Tungsten Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 The bottom engine cover... The piece of steel that protects the rods and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airrun2002 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hell I just used metric bolts i found in my toolbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Yeah, they are just 10mm headed bolts. Just look at your skid, where there is a hole at the front and rear, there is a bolt that goes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magregor Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I would just get self tapping screws from the hardware store and make new holes! get a 1/8" drill bit, drill new holes through the skid plate, rad support and the lower crossmember, them smack in some self tapping #8 or #10 bolts...Presto!

Cyril Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 There should be 3 threaded 6mm holes on the front beam and 3 threaded 6mm holes on the beam which supports the front diff . Have re-drilled mine and tapped them 8mm so should work the same for yours . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those small 6 mm bolts don't hold up to the elements and such...well, I suppose if you use anti-seize...I just stuck my foot in my mouth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
