Door Talon

Ray,
I am finally getting around to ordering a door talon. I got swivel base seats for my van last year which work great. My ride is a 2008 E250 Quigley with Bushwacker flares.
Thanks.

Now the 'after" photos

Got a few pictures of the rust bucket turned beach buggy after liberal coatings of Corroseal and 3M undercoating. Fighting rust on OBX surf fishing vehicles is a constant battle. At least I've slowed...

I am not going to say "if", but "when" I do get them off, I will be sure to use plenty of anti-seize. Does anybody have a preference to anti-seize brand? Would lithium grease do the same?
