Can someone tell me the size of the bolt on the front trans skid. I have a six speed and need to pick up two so I can install the LOD sliders.
Thanks

 

I used regular 1/2 13 on mine. I also drilled 3 more holes each side. Used all grade 8 hardware.

 

Do not remember the size of the bolt, sorry. But in the thread, https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-write-ups-39/installing-lod-rock-sliders-anybody-do-write-up-94892/, I have some links to wayoflife's and dadgummit's install instructions, that BTW I did not have when I did my install. I do not remember them 100%, but maybe they have the bolt size listed, if not just call LoD they have always been great when I called. Good luck, and don't forget to post up some pictures.

 

The bolts already in the Jeep are 10mm by 40 or 50mm. The ones LoD gives you are 7/16. Both are fine thread I think 20 tpi in the 7/16 and 25 in the metric. They are close but not really interchangeable.

Pick up lots of large area washers as on my 6 speed if you just bolt them on they wont sit level or square to the body. I want to get mine on with washers spacing them out and then think about making plate steel spacers to fill the gaps. The rear mount is tight to the frame. The middle needs a little spacing, and the front needs quite a bit. On mine anyway.

CM.

 

F200 is correct they are 10mm fine thread.
I couldn't find any so I picked up 2 more 7/16-20, the same ones LOD sends.
I took the 7/16-20 tap that you need for the other holes and re tapped the two existing 10mm taped holes in the front. I also needed several washers between the front mount and these holes to level the sliders.

 

Now all we need are some finished product pictures

 

Here you go.
