Torx plus bolts can problematic and prone to striping. I want to replace them. Anyone know what size and thread pitch they are?

TP40 seems to be the general consensus.

not asking about the bit size. i am asking about replacing the entire bolt .. so the bolt size.

TP40 seems to be the general consensus.

Can you take a screw out yourself and measure with a digital caliper? If you don't have your Bronco yet I could do that real quick and post the measurements.

I was curious if anyone knew. I will just remove one and take it to fastenal and they can tell me

Ya I was thinking of those thread size placards at Home Depot and Lowes that hang off aisle racks. Seems like you'd need a full thread pitch gauge set tool to check at home and how many people actually own one of those?

The bumper bolts like the Bronco bolts are IP, TP or Torx Plus, not regular torx!

I bought a set of torx plus sockets at harbor freight so I have all the sizes possible. I use them to figure out what size the bolts are.

M8-1.25 x 30mm

Thank you for taking the time to complete the circle! So did you end up replacing the stock bolts and how did it go?

I have NOT replaced the bolt yet. I am getting ready to install a light bar so I will replace the bolts when I am installing the light bar.

I found these 2 options to replace the bolts but have not decided on which one to buy:

Are you sure you want either of those bolt options?

Gott Damm it, I so wanted to bust the balls about " TRY USING THE SEARCH FUNCTION..... DUUUHHHH."

But no, had to go and post a legit question...

 

[Raptor911]

why do you ask? Is there an issue?

Potentially multiple issues. The ARP bolts require a 12 pt socket, which is not standard. And the other ones are security Torx, although they do supply the bit.

This might be a better option.
