Seems I have torque specs for everything except the door hinge bolts (hinge to body). Anybody have this? Also...what type of goop did they use on the bolt hole/mounting area on the door frame. Looks like some type of insulating foam that also got on the bolts. I just planned on using some meduim strenght loctite. Any recomendations? Thanks.

I used hard as nails on it seeing it keeps out the water from getting between hinge and body and doesnt crack over time. I tighten the bolts like if you were doing an intake with a 6 inch rachet and 6 inch extension. Anything longer is to much leverage and to long of an extention takes away from the Torque applied to the bolts. 30-35 pounds is what I am guessing it around. Never had one break or a door fall off yet going down the quarter mile. :D
