My 04 TLC has 3 posts on each side. Each post has 2 bolts except the middle one which has 2 holes with threads but one bolt. Bottom line is you will need 6 bolts on each side to fill in the holes. The size is still the same but you need longer ones than was recommended.
Bolt size 8mm x 1.25, but 20 mm long. These will fit perfect. I could not find galvinized bolts but I did find washers. I also put some silicone on the threads, tightend her down and will paint the bolts when all its dry. I have ordered the snap in pieces from cDan.
This is so much easier than my 80 where they had to be pulled out then welded and painted. The 100 cost about $35 in parts vz $800 for the 80
