Wow. Your bars are really tight against the rockers. The new ones will look and work much better. I think those Rhinos would be better for me too, but I have coordination. Not everyone who rides in my truck does.

I don't know if you go off road very often, but when I had the stock running boards I used to bust my butt every time they got muddy because they get so slick. That's why I got the go-rhino steps like the ones that BrowningSCrew posted. night and day difference, a lot better traction and no more slipping and falling

Haven't been yet. Not too many areas around here to do it. Other than constuction sites, my truck doesn't see very much dirt.

Just ordered these:



Cover King Leatherette. Got them from Cabella's. $500 front and rear, BUT I had $460 is Cabella's Bucks, a $25 gift card, and free shipping through Cabella's club. Total was $45.
Said allow 3-4 weeks for delivery. Hopefully Cover King has some in stock and don't have to make them. We'll see.

I'm hoping. I've seen excellent reviews for fit and wear, and some reviews that said the stitching was pulling, red fades (I doubt black and gray will) so we'll see.
Almost went with neoprene, but I think I will like these better.

I want those tan and brown outfitter series covers Cabela's sells. They look super nice. The ones you ordered should look great in your truck.

If they made those outfitters in this color, I'd get them. But Tan doesn't look good on gray.
