Last week I had to replace my R/F fender due to some trail damage
I decided to get a set of rock sliders, they came in and seem to be pretty sturdy with all hardware included
But being who I am , decide to order grade 8 bolts with washers an self locking nuts, and I chose the black bolts
The reason if to deter cross contamination from the aluminum & steel
The paint i used is a ceramic finish for the bolt heads and tread, once dried I also added Teflon tape to them
I did a dry run on the rock sliders, drilling all of the holes and bolting them into place
I then removed them to remove all of the aluminum shaving
Once the body was cleaned I applied a fresh coat of Carc 383 to the body and to the holes made to support the rock sliders
I also sprayed the inside of the rock sliders with an healthy coat of black Plasti Dip
I also used aluminum 2" flat stock to make 2" square washers to distribute the pull of the bolts when hitting something
And finally added some decals.
