Austj42 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Hello all! First post here since I got a 2022 TC LWB XLT last year! after remind the second and third row I’ve set off on building an rack out of 8020 which I want to attach to the rear floor using the 3rd row bolt holes using. As the rear seat bolts are m10x1.5, I sourced a larger Allen head stud to secure the 8020 to the threaded holes, however, I’ve been having compatibility issues with the bolts I’ve sourced even though the thread is the same outside of end of the factory bolts that have the a tapered design. Has anyone else had luck with finding such a bolt to use for this application? Trying not to destroy the threads anymore than I have already lol. Thanks in advance Edited February 26, 2023 by Austj42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussBarnes Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 On my 2022 TC, Titanium I removed my rear seats to fasten a 3/4" thick plywood floor to anchor dual dog crates and a plywood box around it all. I also had issues with the frame holes. I used SS bolts because our dogs spill water from their crates and didn't want them to rust in. The factory bolts seem to be a self threading, triangle shaped bolt and when I screwed a couple of my softer SS bolts, they got damaged. So I ran a tap into all of them and they worked fine then and tightened firmly after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear I’m not the only one this has happened too ?. Next step was going to be a tap but wasn’t sure if this was the issue so good to hear, thanks!
