Took a drive with the family to IL to pick up a necessary tool for the winter here (pictured), and did a pretrip walk around on the truck, checked air, looked at brakes, all that. Noticed my passenger side AFE shorty did not like the winter at all. Driver side looks great, so I'm not sure what happened other than the passenger probably gets more tire splash since it's more open. These were ceramic Cerakote coated before putting them on, and were underbody carwashed every 2-3 weeks during winter so I'm a little annoyed at the condition.

Did an oil change, cleaned air filter, and found my O2 sensor extension harness fell on the exhaust so I rerouted it before it melted the wires. Luckily it just melted the plastic loom. Think I've reached the point that I'm going to figure out a nice pair of bumpers. I keep seeing a few that I like, but not enough to buy them. Rear bumper is rusting by a parking sensor, front bumper is starting to show its bumps and bruises from age.

Changed the oil the other day and finally installed my SuspensionMaxx swaybar end links.

Then went to change my foglights. I put aftermarket black LED foglight housings in when I bought the truck that are all integrated, not just stock housings with bulbs

Well, those only lasted a month before the pass side started flickering and would eventually quit. So I sent them back for a replacement. Then the replacement set quit working. So I’ve been running around with no foglights for months.

Finally I ordered a new set of smoked, stock housings and LED bulbs. Changed them out, turn them on and the pass side still doesn’t work. WTF. Finally start tracing the harness and found that it somehow got pinched between the crash bar and something up front. Completely cut the wires. I may have done it without realizing when I removed the grille shutters. So some butt connectors and heat shrink, now we’re good to go again. I put the original LED housings back in cuz I like the way they look and their beam pattern/output is much better than the smoked OEs were.

I had new titanium ceramic coated jba shorty headers installed, and while they work well for what they are (shorty's), they look the same as yours.

As you said and I agree, it's likely because the areas are so open to the elements and highly prone to getting soaked when going through puddles and on wet roads.
