What Else?

Hey,

What do you folks think about putting some tube steps on the truck pictured below? I don't know if they would look good with the chrome rockers. If I do I would like some oval tube steps that sit high and tight. Nothing else looks worse than the "low" tube steps on a 4x4. What brand of tube steps? Any other suggestions. Thanks.

I don't like them for looks, but would consider some for rocker panel protection.

Bio and I are twinkies. Red trucks black bars. I got black for the hidden effect.. Chrome should fit in on your scheme very well.

Thanks for the input. Anyone else with suggestions?

I put the stainless step bars on my crew cab to save the leather seat edges and help the wife and kids get in. They are not much for protection though. Just the one spot where it turns out on the front. As for cleanup they are junk collectors. If you live in a snowy climate like I do you are constantly knocking the snow and ice off of them. It builds up between the rocker panels and the bars themselves. The same goes for mud. I usually polish them every once on a while too. Stainless tends to look blemished after a while. If you want the shiny look make sure you go with stainless or chrome plated stainless. If you go with chrome plated steel the salt and sand will find a weak spot and the chrome plating will start to peel off. If you use them for access, yes, I would recomend a set. If you want them for looks, no, I would not.
