Do you think Ive got a legit complaint. They are exposed to the weather but we have sub 10% humidity, no salty air in the high desert.

1774 still have your hickey winch, too
That is tough to say as most of the stuff I have kept for myself isn't out in constant weather. I had my control arms powder coated and they have been holding up well but they are under the truck and we don't get any rain to speak of here either. Maybe someone else will chime in.
