Is there anyone with a stock TRMS, or even someone who purchased it from Mopar after the fact, that can tell me what size, length, and thread the three bolts that hold the tailgate rail on are?

It just so happens that two of these three locations line up perfectly with the holes in a CO2 tank bracket I'm trying to install on the rig, so I just need some bolts that fit the reinforced threaded holes in the tailgate for this rail. I can throw on some washers and tighten down the CO2 tank bracket nicely.

Let me know if anyone can help out.

Thanks!

Get some sugru and press it in there. Let it harden and "unscrew it" You'll have a mold you can take to Home Depot now to find the right size.

These are the ones that came with the tuffy tailgate box, not sure on thread pitch though. Bottom screws were same but longer at 60mm

Most 'mom & pop' hardware stores have bolt sizing measuring trays. Bring one of your Jeep bolts with...screw the bolt in to find its diameter and thread count. That's what I did when I wanted to use the TRMS bolt holes to anchor my fridge slider. I bought an assortment of lengths.

The TRMS bolt holes go right through the rear floor. I applied some anti-seize compound to the slider bolts, so that I could unscrew the bolts and the fridge slider when I am not camping.

I used M6x30mm for my tailgate table. Kept the panel in place and had just enough these left to torque it all down. Picked the bolts up at Home Depot’s hardware section

What size is the middle screw in the bottom row? The hole is larger than the other M6 holes
