So I installed a set on my 2 dr. back in mid November and yesterday I gave the Jeep a good washing and noticed a fair amount of light surface corrosion going on. I understand they take rocks and what not going down the road, and I do live in the Northern U.S. and winters can be a bit tough on items with the road salt, but I wouldn't have expected this already. Anyone else have similar issues? I'll post pics a little later.

 

Would like to see some pics. I've got OR-Fab gear all over my JK and don't have any issues with corrosion or rust. Post them up when you have them.

 

I'll get some up today. Also, I have the wrinkle black finish on mine. Seemed flawless when I installed them...

 

Does it look any thing like my Or Fab tire carrier after only 6 months?



Their product is great, the paint/powder coating not so much.

 

That looks bad.

What did Or Fab have to say about it?

 

not that bad, but most likely is heading that direction if I don't do something about it.

 

Wow, I have the exact same carrier, I got it from Northridge 4x4 two years ago, and still not a touch of rust!

 

They said they would warranty it but I would have to pay shipping half way to return my bumper, for the price of shipping I think I am just going to paint it myself.

But yeah doesn't look good when parts on a 2011 are rusting that bad.

 

I sent them this link. Hopefully they get on soon for you guys (they are in Moab so be patient)

 

Here are my pics. Fairly light...at the moment.
