Bumper bolt size?
Need a quick favor from those of you with the bumper pictured below. What I need is to know the size of the nuts for all the bolts that hold the front bumper and bumper guards on. Looking at my Chilton's manual, it looks like there is a bracket at the bottom of the bumper guards that hooks onto the bumper. I'm gonna need the size of that nut as well. Thanks guys!

It appears that the parts book is showing just one nut is used for the front bumper in all locations:
Which would mean that you need to find only one size, likely of something you already have. Correct?

Not quite. I have that same picture in my Hayne's and Chilton's books, and in the instructions it says to remove the lower bracket. You see that thing at the bottom of the bumper guard? Supposedly that bolts onto the bumper guard somehow.
However, looking it over closer, I may be able to still get the bumper off. My problem is that the bottom bolt is hidden by the guards it seems, so if it comes out and I don't have enough of the nut off, then I won't be able to get a hold of the bolt to put it back in it's cut out.
I may just be over-thinking the entire thing. I just want to make sure I have everything I need to get this off. 98* degree temps are just not fun in a junkyard filled with sand.
