Running board Bolts ?

I recently purchased a pair of Nerf Running boards for my 2012 Tacoma double cab. Does anyone happen to know the bolt size, to install them, on the rocker panels under the plastic screws? I went to the Toyota dealership and they would not sell me any or even tell me the size of them. I tried 8m 1.25 and no luck at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

I can check when I get home.. I just took the running boards off my truck and have them laying in a bag..

 

and Welcome to TW!

 

8-1.25 x 30

 

I just removed mine and used a 13mm socket to get them out

This!! Haha!

 

After removing the running boards, does anyone put bolts back in to fill the holes? Just curious, I took mine off the other day.

 

I put thread sealer on the bolts and put them back in. Keep's whatever water that might get in, out.

 

Cool, exactly what I was going to do!

 

Hey guys, I took my 2016 OEM running boards off and putting new ones on but one of the welded bolts in the underbody came lose and is somewhere in there. Any ideas on how to fix? Or does anyone in the PNW area make sliders?

Hey! Thanks for the tag!

We have made sliders but are currently changing up our design a bit. We do also sell caliraised, CBI, coastal offroad, and several more though!

 

@WormSquirts

in no real rush, if you guys make them I’d rather wait for the new design and support a local store.

 

Really appreciate your support! That's how we continue to survive, so thank you!

I don't really have too much of a timeline on our sliders as we have been working on our bedracks more lately, so if you do need them by some point I won't be offended if you look at other options! Are you in BC or in the states?

He's in Vancouver, BC. That's why I sent him your way.
