Is it worth finding a stainless replacement? Or that will also be dissimilar metals and continue? Hit them with a rust stop spray and reinstall? I haven't touched them, and I've only washed the jeep three times since I've owned itšŸ˜œ

Iā€™m in Waldorf. Have not seen any rust on my exterior bolts yet, but I keep it garaged. Nice fish. Iā€™m not an expert at rust. Sorry Iā€™m not more help.

No worries. Fish was from a Florida trip. Nice to hear from another local...

I have never seen rust on those bolts, not even on the JK.

Do you stay close to the sea or spend lots of time close to the ocean fishing?

Nope and nope...just lucky I guess. I will try some stop rust spray first...it's black anyway. So far, it is only those two that are affected.

...and done. Took them out, sprayed them and re-installed. I will see if that lasts while.
