OEM Tow Hitch Question

[bluto]

Looking for suggestions on where to find bolts for the OEM hitch receiver. Prefer somewhere I can walk in locally but online is ok too.
What kind of bolts/washers/relevent info should I take into account when installing this on the rear?

Thanks in advance.

I think the answer on size is either in the 80's section or the trailer section. I don't recall what size they are. Search there and you should be able to find your answer.

I just bought replacement bolts for the factory tow hooks and I think they were 12mm x 1.5 x 60mm but don't hold me to that. Does the tow hitch use the same holes?

Thanks Brent and Eric for the replies.

6 bolts total to install the tow hitch.
Need only to buy 4 bolts if you can reuse the 2 bolts that attach the tow hooks to the frame.

Metric: 12 x 1.25 x 45(50 or 60 if you want it longer)
With the standard recommended strength rating of 8.8 (SAE 5). Or 10.9 (SAE 8)

I will be getting mine from Fastenal which is very close to where I live - don't have to take a freeway to get it or pay for shipping!

I wasn't sure on the pitch. 1.25 sounds correct.
