I am about ready to pull the trigger on the 5100s, but I am wondering how people's 5100s are holding up after a year or longer.

Any problems with rust and corrosion? Pictures would be appreciated.

Mine are fine, but I live in Texas. Not too much rust on cars here.

you shouldn't have any issues in UT, but if you are worried about it you could always clean them and put a coat of automotive wax every time you wash your car or take it in the dirt.
