    Hi all,

    Curious if you guys recommend that I add loctite to the bolts when I install my predator side steps. Would appreciate the advice! Thank you!

    Throw some blue on there and you'll be good. I'd skip the red and hard no on the purple. Honestly, probably not needed, but won't hurt to do the blue.

    I was thinking anti-seize, not thread locker. We all know how often we change our mind on steps/sliders, etc...

    Actually I would seriously suggest anti- seize or grease. The issue with all those frame insert nuts (looking at you, skid plate) is that water, dirt, etc tend to work into the assembly. That plus different metals in the frame and the bolts means that you can have shit seized up pretty quickly.

    I use anti seize on pretty much every bolt that I remove and replace from the rear license plate down.
