OEM Rock Rails - hardware - bolt size request!

[DctrEvil]

I've ordered a set of OEM rock rails from my dealer with a decent Toyota parts discount and although they're available in stock in a day or two, the "hardware kit" is backordered for quite a while. From reviewing a PDF for the rock rail installation (below), it appears that this "hardware kit" simply consists of 16 - M10 hex flange bolts with a metric 14 socket head but not sure what length. I can simply purchase these anywhere, but wanted to confirm with any helpful "rock rail owning" forum members the exact size of the bolts so I can order and have them ready for my install. The only other piece in the "hardware kit" is a little terminal plug to terminate the puddle light plug that is removed from the running boards. I can use some electrical tape for now.

And perhaps any of you that have made the switch from running board to rock rail or vice-versa, did they use the same bolts? Thanks for any help!

picked up a set of rock rails without hardware few days ago and tried M10-1.5 X 30 but would not thread
I'm thinking threading maybe JIS which would be M10-1.25
there is also M10-1 thread but I doubt they would use that for frame

 

[DctrEvil]

@yasushi Yes, that's the thread size I was guessing as well. Do you think they need to be 30mm length or would 20mm or 25mm work?

 

[yasushi]

I would think extra length of 30mm would work better when you pre-install lower set of bolts in the frame then it would be just a matter of hanging the rail using the open ended mounting holes before installing upper mounting bolts

Just bought some hex, head, flange M10 JIS (1.25 thread) 30mm bolts. They are a metric socket size 14. The ones I got at the hardware store are zinc plated, which I’m sure the Toyota version is higher quality but these work just fine and are the perfect fit.

UPDATE:
If I had just been patient, I would've learned that the rock rails each come with the necessary hardware to mount (8 - M10 1.25 Galvanized bolts and the little termination plug for the puddle light harness.). So problem solved! Thanks for your replies!

Install was easy and all done! If anyone want to purchase my running boards, PM me!

For the rock rail bolts, I know for certain that the correct OEM bolt is M10-1.25. I believe (but am not 100% certain) that the correct length is either 25 mm or 30 mm.

I would never use zinc coated steel for this outdoor low-to-the-ground application - only stainless steel. And, I understand that it's a good idea to use a lubricant (such as Permatec) to reduce the chance of rusting and binding, as the factory-installed rock rail bolts do have a lubricant added to the threads..

I am stuck releasing the wiring harness connectors for the OEM running boards. What's the trick?

I figured the connector out. Rails are installed and torqued.

My wife is missing the larger stepping surface in the running boards.

Toyota wants $35 per-side for bolts. I was wondering if anyone knows the correct length? Is it 25mm or 30mm? I want to built the bolts from a hardware store and install them soon.

There was another thread with the size listed (install instructions), but I ran out to my garage and found the ones I used. M10- 1.25x30mm

Here is the part number for the rock rail hardware kit, if needed - PT228-60240-HK

Last question for everyone are the oem bolts stainless steel or a plated material.

I have them and I like them. That said, they could have been one inch wider and two inches longer.

This is what I’m worried about. There’s a set near me on marketplace for $200 that I’d really like to pick up, but worried my wife and kids will miss the running boards.

Does anyone know where I can source the "wire harness covers" from the parts kit? I had my local dealer order the parts kit, but it only came with the bolts, not these covers.

Removed my running boards today. And put on my temporary permanent plates (until my custom plates arrive...). Taking off the running boards is...
