Not uptop at least. I quote
“While we have updated our procedures to prevent corrosion, you will also need to evaluate your surroundings and apply any added steps needed to prevent corrosion from forming.”
Was they reply they sent me.

So, after dropping 4 figures on our product you need to make sure you prevent it from rusting with your own solutions … nah I’m good

Oh man… I wonder what Mike from LLOD would say. Maybe he hasn’t seen this or doesn’t care.

I sent it to them and never heard back. I think they just don’t care. I even explained my powder coater down here uses phosphate steam to clean metals of rust and prevent rust from forming.
After all said and done, I’ll let it ride till I can’t. Then either get it powder coated right or scrap it.

Man, I’m sorry to hear that. That’s super annoying.

How did it turn out ?? I’m thinking of buying the diamondback compatible mid height bed rack truss

My rack is fine, but there's a huge caveat. I uninstalled the rack from my truck after our camping trip so that I can keep using automated car washes. The good news is removal (and I'm assuming reinstallation) is really fast. I just marked the arm locations with some black tape on my Retrax for next time.

I got the variable height, which I thought would go between mid height and full height, but I didn't pay close attention to the specs and was wrong. It feels like it goes from big to bigger, which was not what I wanted. I wanted to mount my skybox behind the cab for better fuel mileage. In the end, though, it worked out. Mounting my skybox higher let me move it more forward, so it doesn't stick out past the tailgate. It also made for easier access to all my camping supplies in the truck bed.

Given the rust issues, I'll probably just keep installing the rack and using as needed, and then storing in my garage otherwise.
