Bolts for Ruggid Ridge Tailgate hinge

[sgterik]

Love this hinge. I originally had a Terraflex and the fit and finish and overall just hated it. Went with the rugged and love it. However the bolts they use suck and rust when wet. Does anyone see an issue using stainless for the 4 bolts that mount these to the tail gate?

My mounting bolts aren't rusting.

But, the bolts that secure the hinge bushings are.

I'm currently waiting for a warranty replacement from Quadratec.

Sucks that I need to reinstall the whole thing over again.
