I'm surprised they're this bad after less than 60 days.
Last post Dec 27th I had installed them, taking Eddie's advice and deal with them now before it gets worse.

That is pretty odd. Even though that’s the threaded end, there is still usually a decent amount of black oxide coating left and usually a touch of tool oil from the factory, in my experience.
That looks like when I hit something with a cutoff wheel and leave it exposed…that bright orange flash rust…

hmmm... wondering if they didn't get coated?

Texas has had snow and ice storms and the roads were heavily salted (and other involved states too). I drove my Jeep through this so I should check it for rust too.Wow, did you drive through areas that have salted roads or something?
Might want to take a wire brush to them with some penetrating oil to clean them up. Maybe apply some antiseize to help protect them too.

Evo Trackbar bracket, drilling the front lower hole is kind of a bitch I ended up having to install the track bar back on, jack up the passenger side and turn the steering full lock to the passenger side in order to fit my drill in there.
Had to recenter the steering wheel but besides that pretty straight forward install. This is going to make disconnecting my sway bar a little harder to get to the nut so it’s time to look for a rubicon swaybar

Keeps the factory location, but provides a thicker bracket, correct?Evo Trackbar bracket, drilling the front lower hole is kind of a bitch I ended up having to install the track bar back on, jack up the passenger side and turn the steering full lock to the passenger side in order to fit my drill in there.

It raises the track bar at the stock location but has an extra hole further back for aftermarket bar supposed to reduce bump steer
