    I have a set of bolt on sliders by CBI, and want to make sure I won't have any headaches down the road if any issues arise with the frame. I will be moving to an area that uses heavy salt on the roads during the winter. Has anyone asked or know about this?

    They will likely try to use it as an excuse should something go wrong. If you're concerned about it, you should get bolt-on sliders.

    I have weld-on sliders and took my truck in for the frame inspection and not a word was said about them FWIW. Got the undercoating as well.

    You should contact toyotas warranty department and ask. I've considered running 5w30 in the summers but im waiting for them to respond because if thats going to void the warranty then no point.

    I do have the bolt ons, but there is some drilling required.

    I've seen a ton of posts about those, but I have seen some that continued to rust out.

    You need to review the Magnuson-Moss Act.

    Toyota will probably tell you no for everything you ask them. They don't want the liability regardless.

    It can void the frame warranty if the rusted part is located where the sliders were mounted.

    I was going to put POR-15 around the inside of the holes that needed to be drilled
