Lube your oil filter!

Hey guys, posted this over in the Trailhunter section as well since i didn't realize there was a rock slider section. I'm looking for a bolt on replacement of the OEM rock sliders that don't require any extra drilling and just use the OEM bolt locations that also have top plates for use as a step. Kick out would also be preferred. Gotta make it easier for the dog to get in and out, and sometimes myself - haha. I like the look of the Westcott sliders with the top plates, but not sure if those use the Trailhunter OEM bolt locations. I also have the long bed model. Thanks in advance.

If you ever wondered if you should actually put oil on the oil filter gasket before you thread it on the answer is here! Toyota now puts grease on the o ring from factory! Assuming Toyota did what Toyota does and put a lot of research into this it's safe to assume they thought this was good practice since they now go through the extra effort to include the o ring pre greased. Pretty cool they do this I'm not sure if any other manufacture goes through that extra step and care.
