The Details Matter: Why Desert Does It Uses Factory-Grade Black Hardware

At Desert Does It, we believe that every part of your vehicle matters—right down to the bolts that hold it together. That’s why we only use factory-grade (or better) black hardware, designed to match OEM aesthetics and meet the highest durability standards.

While some aftermarket brands cut corners with generic silver or zinc-coated hardware, we take a different approach—one that prioritizes strength, fit, and seamless integration with your vehicle.

Why Black Hardware? Because It Should Look as Good as It Performs.

Your vehicle was designed with a specific look and feel, and we think your upgrades should complement that—not stand out as mismatched afterthoughts. That’s why our hardware is:

✔ Color-Matched to OEM Hardware – We use black-coated fasteners to ensure our Seat Jackers®, Multi-Mount Panels, and other components blend seamlessly with your vehicle’s factory design.

✔ Durable & Corrosion-Resistant – Our black hardware isn’t just about looks. It’s made from factory-grade or superior materials, meaning it won’t rust, fade, or weaken over time like lower-quality aftermarket alternatives.

✔ Designed for Strength – Whether it’s securing your seat modifications or mounting essential gear, our hardware is engineered for load-bearing strength and longevity.

Not Just Off-the-Shelf Bolts: Custom Hardware for Precision Fitment

With over 150+ vehicle-specific products, we know that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work when it comes to hardware. That’s why we partner with Boltsandnuts.com, a a family owned full-line fastener distributor located in Perry, Ohio. Not only are they a leading expert in custom fasteners, the founders of BoltsandNuts.com are 4th & 5th generation fasteners - so we know we have the right partner to develop and manufacture bolts that meet exact OEM specifications.

If a specific bolt size, thread pitch, or strength rating is required for a particular vehicle model, we don’t settle for “close enough.” Instead, we engineer and produce custom hardware to ensure:

🔩 Perfect Fitment – Our bolts align with factory seat mounting points and hardware threads—no guessing, no modifications required.

🔩 OEM-Level Quality – Every custom fastener meets or exceeds factory-grade tensile strength to ensure structural integrity and long-term performance.

🔩 Enhanced Vehicle Compatibility – By matching exact OEM specs, our hardware eliminates issues like misalignment, premature wear, or loose fittings.
