Would you consider selling those steps or trading for the chrome ones of the same style?

I do not think the chrome panels look bad. I would keep them. I am not to hot on the bars on the bed, though. But it looks very nice as a whole.

Nice truck.

Level the front. I'd keep the toolbox. Lose the bed rails.. not a big fan.

Let me think about that. I'm tall and don't really need them.

Default Bed rails

Any idea how they are attached on there? I assume a bolt, I'd sure hope they didn't have to cut a large hole in the plastic bed caps for them. The previous owner did mention they had to go up between body panels to install them. Would it be a job to take them off?

If anything, just removing 4 bolts to loosen both bars. Might need an extension or a kid with a small arm.

If you end up getting a leveling kit and/or bigger tires, it'd be nice to have 'em I'm sure. My short gf needs my steps on there, and I haven't done anything to mine yet
