S&B CAI issue
So I we went on a fishing trip this week and after roughly 100mi of off-road we started to hear a loud noise in the front (passenger side). I was afraid something was wrong with the suspension, but after further investigation I noticed that my CAI was very loose. It basically lost the 40mm M8 bolt that hold it under the frame and the rubber grommet for the bolt at the top was destroyed. Took some bungee cords and secured the box and did another 100mi off-road and came back home.
Would blue lock-tite prevent the bolt from coming out? The bolt/washer sit on a plastic part so it can't be crazy tight or it will destroy the plastic. See step 14 in this pdf for the bolt in question https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxRKHbqXSp23NG4zTVdfY2VQa2s/view?usp=drive_web
