    they may prove me wrong and last a good while but unfortunately black phosphate is just about only good as an interior fastener. There is the off chance they are black zinc but I’d doubt it if they came from somewhere like Home Depot or Lowe’s.

    After doing some research, I found that here in the States, aftermarket AC/heated seats are all selling for around $800+ for a set. So I checked out Alibaba and found what looked to be a quality set, selling for only $400. I decided to go for it. So far the quality looks pretty good but only time will tell. The seller was very professional and shipped fast (as fast as could be expected coming from China).

    I have those rotors and I've been running them for a couple years now with no issues. I don't tow, but haul gear up and down elevation along with weekend off roading. I replaced my originals due to "warped" rotors causing shaking under braking. Just make sure you break them in properly with the braking procedures.

    They probably are. No rust after a year. I'd just prefer black hardware

    I doubt it’ll prove you wrong. I have rust just from the humidity here on the black oxide screws holding my cell phone mount inside my cab.

    Toyota dealers here in Atlanta keep a box of the keys in the parts dept. Take it to your dealer and match up the # and see what they say. Last one I needed they gave it to me free. :fingerscrossed:
