loose starte mounting bolts

Ok guys when i bought my truck the starter bolts where loose and had been tighten up prior to me buying it, not thinking much of it 2 years later it happens to me! i had been driving some nasty gravel roads rather hard and the next time i went to start the starter just spun freely. should i throw some locktite on those bolts? anyone else ever hear of this happening?!?!?!
