Silicone on roof rack bolts during installation?

Trailhunter OEM Rock Slider Replacement - Want Top Plates

bemmster · 2025-04-28T18:25:21+00:00

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.

I would usually put a silicone on under the bolts during installation but I noticed the 4G taco has an OEM tape around the holes that seems to seal everything when tightened down.. anyone else know what I’m talking about? Should I take it back apart and add some?
