I am considering installing sliders that require removing 6 body bolts and was curious if this problem was as widespread as it seems.

Then you're looking at cutting sheet metal. They are all captured nuts in internal pockets.If you did manage to break one, what then? Curious as sliders are on the list, just haven’t gotten there yet.
I was also worried about this so I went and talked with a local body shop. The owner said he breaks the body bolts once in awhile and that they are easy to drill out. He even showed me one that he did so on recently. He told me that if I ended up breaking a bolt that he could have it drilled out and fixed in no time. $50 charge.Then you're looking at cutting sheet metal.

Were you not concerned about removing the corrosion protection on the bolt (using a wire wheel) - be it plated or black oxide?I cleaned off the red locktite with a wire wheel and just used blue on them.
I'm way to dumb to worry about things I didn't even think aboutWere you not concerned about removing the corrosion protection on the bolt (using a wire wheel) - be it plated or black oxide?
