My Bronco has been in my possession for 4 weeks. Its seen rain twice and washed only a couple times. Drivers side is already rusting and the passengers side just started. IAG has been in contact with me about sending them back but keep an eye on yours if you have them. These won't last a winter in any states that get snow or the state uses salt. I'm not mad at IAG or starting this to bash them as they've been in contact and good about it. I'm more concerned if more people are having the same issue. I used one pair(box) on the drivers side and one pair on the passengers side so i know it wasn't just one pair. I've tried scrubbing it off with a soft brush and it doesn't come off so its definitely not dirt. I'm going to pull them off and send them back, today hopefully, and hoping the replacements don't do it too. Just keep an eye out on yours if you get some. I'm not sure if they coat them in house or outsource them but the coating needs to be more durable than that. I'm not buying $600 steps every year to replace them. I wonder if they weld all the way around the top plate if it may fix the issue. i wonder if stepping on them makes the top plate rub against the tubes and then they rust. The one that's the most rusty is the drivers side front one, which is used the most of all 4. The 2nd worst one is the drivers side rear one, which is the 2nd most used(son getting in back). The ones that are the best are the least used.
