Best part is I'm telling my buddy he "has to buy the lower bolts" because "there is no way we will be able to reuse them"
Apparently Toyotas likes using soft lower shock mount bolts and it's not just the Tacomas. Ive never liked their design and looked into getting alternates but never did. If I had remembered that yesterday I would of grabbed one of the brand new Toyota bolts I had and put it next to the Nissan bolts - and if it was the same dims I would of gotten them and gave someone else my OE Toyota junk. Last ones I took off were 1/3 worn through the bolt and had to be cut out.
