Smitty Built Side Bars ?
 

I got these super duper titanium indestructible side bars in black. They
went on easy and looked great.......................for about 3 weeks. Now
the finish is starting to flake off big time and they are all rusted.

Place where I got them is exchanging them no problem but this time I am
going with the Black Textured ones.

Question is does any body else have these and if so did the finish fail on
them and if so how long before it did. These were not chipped in any way,
the finish just failed.

I am wondering if my expectations are to high to have the finish not come
off!

I used to have welded-on Smittybilt sidebars and they held up to some
amazing offroad abuse and never rusted. It was only that they started to
get in the way of doing harder offroad trails that I finally replaced them
with body-mounted rockerguards.
