Thanks guys as said much appreciated.
You got a better torque wrench than mine!I torqued mine to 23.5 ft/lbs.
Sorry, one question re torque every 3000 miles?
I've been sending ATX and email a week for 3 months asking for replacement bolts and inserts info and still no response, good this thread exists :thumb:
ATX should remove the "Contact" link off their website.
Maybe you will will have more luck contacting them here.

Hey cozdude, thanks for rebooting this thread!
I didn't have any luck with overlander's link. Probably my fault but just couldn't navigate the Fastenal web site. I'll try the link above to see if I can get any response, but the ATX "contact" results in nothing as commented above. All the hardware stores are a joke for this kind of fitting.
Overlander, the link you posted goes to a 5/16-18 threaded insert. What you wrote was 5/8-18 which I think is correct, but I can't seem to navigate to that fitting on the Fastenal site. I suck at navigating. If you have the time and could set the link to the 5/8-18 insert I could maybe get there! I did try the link to the new wheel web site and left a message, but haven't heard back yet.The ones I posted are what is needed.
Thanks for finding the right inserts! Nice looking rig BTW!!I happen to be in the middle of installing new tires and had a couple thread inserts go bad. I ordered the ones linked in this thread and they did not fit. Today I made a trip down to a local place, Tacoma Screw, to figure out which ones were correct.
What we need is a 3/8-16 x 9/16-12 (mfg part #329-6). Here is the Fastnal link https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/60156
Old on the left, correct in the center and the ones that didnt fit on the right

Once I got the new inserts I was able to finish up the 3rd and 4th tire tonight.

I just placed an order for slabs earlier through ORE, does anyone know what kind of bolts they provide you with? If they're likely to rust then can I just run to Home Depot and get stainless bolts?
