Prepping for the BajaRack install (Painting, sealing?)

[WeAreSLO]

I couldn't find the silicone RTV anywhere nearby so I had to order it. Same goes for the 3/8 t20 torx socket. It will all be here Saturday I think so assuming the weather is not garbage I'll be trying to put it on then.

Are the bracket side-specific? I feel like I remember reading that in the instructions. I have to take a look at my parts again.

Not side specific. The front and back brackets are the same and then there's two for the center stamped "middle". Luckily I found some RTV Silicone at my local Ace Hardware in the automotive section. Only had to remove the end cap and the one screw holding that endcap on. Baja has already gotten back to me and wants a couple more pictures with a tape measure next to the bracket. Sounds like they will accommodate my request for all "middle" brackets which are lower in height.

I'm really glad to hear that you can't just simply remove one bolt and not the whole thing. Phew... But man I hope my brackets are not miss-made. I just want to put the thing on and enjoy/use it already... Lol
