Threadlocker or loctite for bumper installs?

[OF Hero]

Hey all, for those of you going with after market bumpers (or doing capable to modular bumper swaps), are you using any sort of threadlocker on the main fasteners? Wasn't worried about anything coming loose if it was torqued to spec, just didn't know if corrosion could be a major concern in those spots, especially living in a snowy/rainy climate.

I like to use either anti-seize or thread lock on fasteners (not that I always do) Both give some corrosion protection. Blue threadlock is easier to break loose than rust.

I’m a fan of blue locker. But I never really considered it anti corrosion, although I guess it would to some extent.

Antiseize is better (big fan of the copper stuff - don’t have to worry about temps) if you are concerned about corrosion but it does nothing to keep the bolt tight - in fact it may make it come loose worse if not used with lock washer. You can slather anti seize over the entire bolt without concern, whereas with blue locker it does make it a challenge to get back apart.
