    Hello again fellow first genners so here’s the story. I did an oil change on my 2006 Sequoia recently and I think I forgot to tighten 2 of the 12mm(?) bolts that are used to fasten the skid plate (the one you remove to get to OF.) After driving around for a while, I looked under the skid plate to find those bolts gone (My fault.) Can you guys give me the part number for the bolts so I can get it at the dealer today. I want to have this fixed so I don’t risk having the skid plate falling and drag against the asphalt. Thank you

    A bolt is a bolt. A 12mm head bolt from Toyota should be a M8 x 1.25 thread.

    It's just a skid plate. Personally, I'd go to a hardware store that has a bolt bin, and fix it for cheaper than the dealer.

    I’m aware, it was a half-assed photo, apologies. I tightened it afterwards ;). Thanks for the heads up though

    My local pick a part store by my old place would let you walk out with all the hardware you wanted they only cared about what didn’t fit in your pockets, tried paying for about 6 skid plate bolts and they just waved me off
