What to put in my holes?

[4bammer]

I posted in the maintenance section without reply, I'm hoping one of you fine people have an answer:


I have a 4th Gen I bought a bunch of RCI skids for. Thus far I've detached the stock steps and XREAS system. This leaves a number of fresh looking bolt holes in the frame.

Would you treat these bolt holes with anything?

I'm looking at installing RCI skids and rock sliders in the next week or two, and im not totally sure if these bolt holes are used with the new pieces.

Either way, would you treat them with anything? Would you put anything in them to prevent potential corrosion?

Additionally, i was surprised to see that the lower link skids require additional holes be drilled in the frame.

To be honest, I wasn't so worried about making these holes as i am making sure they are properly being treated for potential corrosion.

Help a newbie please :hello:

I usually put shorter bolts in the exposed holes after removing things like XREAS, factory side-steps, etc. just to keep gunk out.

That's what she said last night.

Maybe even some cheap plastic fastener bolts

I'm at a loss for words with this question....
....butt...

For what you meant, fill 'em with grease.

I would like to purchase your factory skid plate. I need the one that goes from below the radiator to the engine. The skid needs to be for 4WD and a V8, if it makes a difference. Let me know what you have!

Did he just say that OUT LOUD.... ound:

I would just fill the holes with appropriate thread fasteners. A little dab of grease on the fasteners would provide a bit of extra corrosion protection.

You're on the wrong website, try loverslane.com, they probably have all kinds of things to fill any hole your heart desires. :whipping2

I knew you sick bastards would flock to that title :whip2:

Now I'm not sure if its the difference in title or thread location that dictated the number of replies...

In any case, thank you Doozi for the suggestion, I'll look into that. Not sure why i that didnt cross my mind earlier.

Can i get back to you in the next week or two? You mean the front skid plate yes? I wont sell the stock until i get the RCI skid in place. Also, the stock skid is definitely not in 100% shape, it has its share of scrapes and dents, but it still does its job just fine. The stock skid just isnt built to take rocks at all.
